آذَنَتْنَا بِبَيْنِهَا أَسْمَاءُ ۞ رُبَّ ثَاوٍ يُمَلُّ مِنْهُ الثَّوَاءُ
Translation: Asmāʾ has informed us that she is departing; many a long-staying companion may eventually be found tiresome.
Ādhanatnā means “has informed us”; bayn denotes separation. Rubba thāwin generalizes the thought: even a familiar, long-standing presence may cease to be welcome.
The second hemistich transforms a personal loss into a wider, rather bitter observation. The opening combines elegiac feeling with a gnomic statement.
