وصاحبين اتفقا
على الهوى واعتنقا
And two companions agreed
on love, and embraced.
وأقسما بالود وال
إخلاص أن لا افترقا
And they swore by affection and
sincerity that they would never part.
ضمنهما أزهر كالن
نَجم به قد وثقا
Within them is a radiant one, like a
star, in whom they have put their trust.
لم يشك في خصريهما
مذ ضمناه قلقا
Between their waists he has never complained
of unease since they embraced him.
من تحته عينان من
ذ انفتحا ما انطبقا
Beneath him are two eyes; since
they opened, they have never closed.
وفوقه ناران ما
حلا فما مذ خلقا
And above him are two fires that have never
dwelt in a mouth since they were created.
يفرقان بين كل
لِ ما عليه اتفقا
They split apart all
that they agree upon.
فأي شيء لاقيا
ه ألقياه فرقا
So whatever thing they encounter,
they leave it in pieces.
