إِنِّي إِذَا ما الْخِلُّ خَاسَ بِعَهْدِهِ

بَعدَ الوِدادِ فَلَسْتُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ

When a friend breaks his promise after affection,

I do not number myself among his companions.

وإِذَا عَتَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّتَ لَمْ يَعُدْ

عَنْ غَيِّهِ لَمْ أَكْتَرِثْ لعِتَابِهِ

And if I chide him, but he does not return

From his error, I do not heed his reproaches.
