لِسَانُك للدُّنيا عَدُوُّ مُشَاحِن

وقلبُك فِيها لِلّسانِ مُبايِنُ

Your tongue is hostile to this world full of strife

While your heart differs therein from your tongue

وما ضَرَّها ما قُلتَ فِيهَا وقَد صَفا

لَهَا مِنكَ وُدّ في فُؤَادِكَ كامِنُ

It harms not what you say of it, for sincere

Is the love in your heart for it, though hidden
