إِنَّ الزَّمانَ وَما تَرى بِمفارقي

صَرَفَ الغوايَة فانصرَفتُ كَريما

Indeed time and what you see with my departure

Has dispelled delusions so I withdrew with dignity

وَصَحوتُ إِلّا من لقاء محدِّث

حَسَنِ الحَديث يزيدني تَفهيما

And I awoke except from meeting a good conversationalist

Whose excellent discourse increases my understanding
