إذا ما تعاصى مَنْ تحبُّ لقاءَهُ

عنِ الوصلِ واستولى عليهِ التَّغيُّرُ

If the one whose company you love

Turns from intimacy and is overtaken by change,

فأرسلْ لهُ الدينارَ فهْوَ طبيبُهُ

ومِنْ عجبِ الدنيا طبيبٌ مصفَّرُ

Send him a gold coin, for it is his remedy,

And it is the wonder of this world that a healer should be yellow.
