Two lovers madly smitten


صبان هيمانان فـي واحـد
كلاهما عن خدنه منحرف
كالكلب في الآرى لا يعتلف
ولايخلى الغير أن يعتلـف


"Two lovers madly smitten,
And by the same love bitten;
Each turns against the other,
Each wrestles with his brother".

"The dog beside the manger
Comports himself no stranger
Too sick to eat, too greedy
To entertain the needy"


~ Ibn Hazm ~
