عفا الله عن عبدِ أعانَ بدعوةٍ

خليلين كانا دائمين على الودِّ

May God forgive a servant who helped with a prayer

Two friends who were always affectionate

إلى أن مشى واشي الهوى بنميمةٍ

إلى ذَاكَ مِنْ هذَا فَزَالاَ عَنِ الْعَهْدِ

Until the tales of a slanderer made mischief

Between this one and that, so they broke their pact
