إِذا رُمتَ أَن تُعلى فَزُر مُتَواتِراً

وَإِن شِئتَ أَن تَزدادَ حُبّاً فَزُر غَبّا

If you wish to rise high, visit regularly.

If you seek to be exalted, visit continuously,

And if you want love to grow, visit less often.

And if you wish to increase in love, visit intermittently.

مُنادَمَةُ الإِنسانِ تُحسِنُ مَرّةً

وَإِن أَكثَروا إِدمانَها أَفسَدوا الحُبّا

Seeing people now and then improves affection.

Companionship is delightful when it happens once in a while,

But see them too frequently, and you spoil a friendship.

But if they make a habit of it, they ruin the love.
