إِنِ اِجتَمَعَ الفَريقُ فَلا اِفتِراقٍ
أَوِ اِفتَرَقَ الجَميعُ فَلا اِجتِماعِ
If the company comes together, there can be no parting;
Or if everyone disperses, there can be no reunion.
عَلى أَنَّ الجَميعَ إِلى فَناءٍ
فَأَهوِن بِاِتِّصالٍ وَاِنقِطاعِ
Yet all are destined to pass away—
how slight, then, are union and severance!
Sol 5.6
