تثنى بحر كحر الفراق

وتبدو ببرد كبرد اللقاء

The sea sways like the sea of parting

And appears cold like the coldness of meeting

لها حبب ما طفا في الانا

ء حسبت النجوم طفت في الاناء

It has loves that did not extinguish in the self

I thought the stars extinguished in the bowl

فتلك التي ما عراها النديم

فعري عن لبس ثوب البقاء

That which the boon companion did not bare

Bare yourself of wearing the garment of eternity
