1. The youth's fortune is from what has come to him
God has ordained it for him in this world

2. And his pillar in his religion is
Piety, and his paradise is his righteousness

3. And his rest is in what he will return to after death as his provision
And his joy is in his intention

4. For man covers himself with moderation
And the free man is easy in nature

5. Yielding, smooth in leadership
And you see the wicked complicated

6. Gloomy, punished by his scheming
And the sign of the noble man is

7. When you understand his belief
And so too the ignoble man is shown

8. When his day has turned to ash
And man pursues sins

9. Even if his pursuit harms him
Desire leads him to obedience

10. Then he returns with regret for his habit
How many a guide has ordered with effort

11. And his striving has destroyed him
And a thinker of death

12. It has not forsaken him, his pillow
He spent his life worrying

13. A crop grew and gave little harvest
No speaker but tomorrow

14. Corruption will be in the time of his speaking
Do not let the loss of one

15. Who troubled you yesterday trouble you today
As long as your person is well

16. His thirst's healing is enough for you
The sword cuts what remains

17. If its sharpness destroys its sheath
