إِنّي كَثُرتُ عَلَيهِ في زَيارَتِهِ
فَمَلَّ وَالشَيءُ مَملولٌ إِذا كَثُرا
I visited him so often
that he grew weary; even a welcome thing tires when it becomes too frequent.
وَرابَني مِنهُ أَنّي لا أَزالُ أَرى
في طَرفِهِ قِصراً عَنّي إِذا نَظَرا
What troubled me about him was that I kept seeing
in his glance a holding back from me whenever he looked.
