كَدَأبِكَ كُلٌّ لا يَرى غَير نَفسه

فَعِش واحداً واضربهُمُ بِفِراقِ

Each is busy with himself, seeing none else

So live alone and leave them be, apart

زَمَانٌ تَجَافى أهلُه فكأنهم

سِيَاةُ قِسِيِّ ما لَهُنَّ تلاقي

A time when people shun each other, as though

They were the ribs of one cast to the desert
