1. وَما لَبِسَ الأَقوامُ ثَوباً مِنَ الهَوى

    وَلا جَدَّدوا إِلّا الثِّيابَ الَّتي أُبلي

    And no people have worn a garment of passion,

    Nor renewed any but the garments I wear out;

  2. وَلا شَرِبوا كَأساً مِن الحُب حُلوة

    وَلا مُرَّةً إِلّا وَشُربهم فضلي

    Nor have they drunk a sweet cup of love,

    Nor a bitter one, without their drink being my leavings.
