Quatrain 120 from Rubaiyat of Saadi Shirazi

Description: English Translation:

Literal:

"O friend, you have brought an enemy upon us.
Choose either friendship or enmity.

Not seeing a friend, though a difficult pain,
is easier than seeing him with an enemy."

Poetic:

"A foe you've placed, dear friend, between us two,
Choose friendship true, or enmity pursue.

To miss a friend, a painful thing, 'tis true,
Yet easier borne than seeing him with you."
