وَإِنَّ اِخضِرارَ الغُصنِ بَعدَ اِستِلانَةٍ

وَإِنَّ تَمامَ البَدرِ عِندَ مَحاقِهِ

Though the branch, when bent, turns green again

And the full moon regains its shape anew

حَمى اللَهُ مِن حُمّاهُ وَردَةَ خَدِّهِ

فَلا مُلِّيَت مِنهُ بِطيبِ عِناقِهِ

God has kept the rosy cheeks of youth safe

From the sweetness of embraces passing through

وَمِمّا أَطابَ النَفسَ أَنَّ سَقامَهُ

سَيَعقُبُهُ وَصلُ الشِفا بِفِراقِهِ

And the heart is glad because every illness

Will be followed by recovery and health when you are gone
