وَراضي القَلبِ غَضبانِ اللِسانِ

لَهُ خُلقانِ ما يَتَشابَهانِ

A blissful heart with an angry tongue

Has two natures that never coincide

يُسِرُّ مَوَدَّتي وَيُطيلُ هَجري

وَيَمزُجُ لي المَوَدَّةَ بِالهَوانِ

He gladdens my affection and prolongs my estrangement

Intertwining affection with humiliation
