Though time may pass, as long as I live

ولقد قضيت وإن تجلل لمتي

1. Though time may pass, as long as I live
Gray hairs cannot subdue my pleasure

١. وَلَقَد قَضَيتُ وَإِن تَجَلَّلَ لِمَّتي
شَيبٌ عَلى رَغمِ العِدا لَذّاتي

2. In swift racer horses, fine robes
Hunting gear and festive joys,

٢. مِن كاعِباتٍ كَالدُمى وَمَناصِفٍ
وَمَراكِبٍ لِلصَّيدِ وَالنَشَواتِ

3. In spirited youths whose lordly faces
Scorn baseness like hawks disdain carrion,

٣. في فِتيَةٍ تَأبى الهَوانَ وَجوهُهُم
شُمِّ الأُنوفِ جَحاجِحٍ ساداتِ

4. Who when asked for favors, grant them,
And who cannot be caught when they withhold them.

٤. إِن يَطلُبوا بِتَراتِهِم يُعطَوا بِها
أَو يُطلَبوا لا يُدرَكوا بِتَراتِ
