مازِحٌ صديقتَكَ ما أحَبَّ مُزاحا
وتَوَقَّ منه في المزاح جماحا
Jest with your female friend—how delightful jesting is!
But in your jesting, guard against its running wild.
فلرُبَّما مَزَحَ الصديقُ بمِزحَةٍ
كانت لبابِ عداوةٍ مفتاحا
For often a friend has made a jest
that proved the key to a door of enmity.
