مُتَبَرِّمٌ بِعِتابِهِ
مُسْتَعْذِبٌ لِعَذابِهِ
Vexed by his reproach,
taking pleasure in his torment,
هَجَرَ العَميدَ تَعَمُّداً
فَغَدا وراحَ لِما بِهِ
he deliberately forsook the lovesick man.
So he went forth morning and evening, driven by his affliction,
وكَسَاهُ ثَوْبَ مَشيبِهِ
في عِنْفُوانِ شَبابِهِ
and clothed him in the robe of gray hair
in the prime of his youth.
فَتَراهُ يُؤذِنُ في أَوا
نِ مَجيئِهِ بِذَهابِهِ
Thus you see it heralding, at the time
of its arrival, its departure.
