1. The pleasures of life are rarely sought
By those whose essence is the cream of seekers

2. And seasons of enjoyment in a young man's life
Are like lightning that flashed amid its clouds

3. Rather, the wise man only seeks his livelihood
And to veil his nakedness and lift his veil

4. He is not deterred by the shadow of a long delusion
Or its mirage that deceives the lost with its illusion
