وخليلٍ ضممتهُ فتأبى

وانثنى نافراً كظبيِ الصريمِ

With a friend whom I drew near, but he recoiled

And turned away like a shy mountain goat

قالَ نارُ الخليلِ في القلبِ شبَّتْ

قلتُ أقبلْ فتلكَ نارُ الكليمِ

I said: In my heart burns the fire of a friend

He said: Come close, for that is the fire of the Sublime
