كلامٌ كمثل الدر ننثره نثرا

ووصل كظل الروض نعطيكه نزرا

Words like pearls we scatter them scattering,

And affection like meadow's shade we give you mildly,

ولو لم تشب وصلي بهجر لخلتني

أشافه منها المشس أو الثم البدرا

And if you had not compared my affection to estrangement, I would have left

The sun be healed by it, or the full moon.
