1. You kept silent for months, why not keep silent still,
Nor fast except to prolong your silence.
١. أَصُمتَ الشُهورَ فَهَلّا صَمَتَّ
وَلا صَومَ حَتّى تُطيلَ الصُموتا
2. A young man finds his livelihood in error
And it remains with him until he dies.
٢. يُلاقي الفَتى عَيشَهُ بِالضَلالِ
وَيَبقى عَلَيهِ إِلى أَن يَموتا
