My two friends, no, by God, time is not fair.
My beloved, by God, time is not fair
Nor has it ever done me a kindness.
It has no good day for me

وَيُبعِدُ عَنّي مَن اِلَيهِ أَميلُ
It brings close to me every person I have hated,
It brings near everyone I've hated
And keeps far from me the one toward whom I incline.
And takes far from me those I love
Sol 6.1
