إِذا مُتُّ يا أُمَّ الحُنَيكِلِ فَاِنكِحي

وَلا تَأمُلي بَعدَ الفِراقِ تَلاقِيا

If you die, O mother of separation, then marry,

And hope not after parting for a meeting;

فَإِنَّ الَّذي حُدِّثتِهِ مِن لِقائِنا

أَحاديثُ طَسمٍ تَترُكُ العَقلَ واهِياً

For that of which you told about our meeting,

Were vain discourses that leave reason wandering.
