خليليَّ ليس الرَّأي ما تَرَيَان

فَشأنكما أنِّي ذَهبتُ لِشَاني

My friend, the opinion is not what you both see

So mind your own business, I'm off to my own path

خليليَّ لولا أنَّ في السَّعي نفعه

لما كان يوماً يدأبُ القَمَرانِ

My friend, if there was no benefit in the pursuit

The two moons would never tire from it
