على كُل ما قد كان في الوُدِّ بَيننا

عفاءٌ مدى الأَيّام غادٍ وَرائِحُ

Over all that was between us in affection

Time's pardon spreads, going and returning,

تُشنِّع ما لولاكَ لم يَبدُ لِلعِدى

وَتَزعم من جَهلِ بأنك ناصِح

Exposing what but for you had not appeared

To the foe, and claiming in your ignorance

أفق أيها المَغرور لستَ بلائِقٍ

بمثلى وقد شانَتك تلك الفضائِحُ

That you are my adviser. Awaken, o heedless one,

You are not worthy of me, with such disgraces upon you.
