عَجَباً لِمَن وَصَلَ الخَلِيَّ مِنَ الهَوى

وَجَفا أَخا العِشقِ العَجيبِ الأَغربِ

How strange is he who attained the friend of passion

Yet was unkind to the wondrous, marvelous brother of love

لَيسَ التطبُّبُ لِلصّحيحِ وَإِنّما

يَجِبُ التطبُّبُ لِلعَليلِ الموصَبِ

Medicine is not for the healthy but rather

It is a must for the sick and afflicted one
