1. For every age prepare the garb that suits it best;
For this, the flashing sword: and that, the newest fashion craze.
١. اِعدِد لِكُلِّ زَمانٍ ما يُشاكِلُهُ
إِنَّ البَراقِعَ يُستَثبَتنَ بِالشَبَمِ
2. If in one happy moment you should plunge your sword through Meudon Wood,
Rest assured, a secret dagger lurks behind the newest fashion's veil.
٢. فَإِن ضَرَبتَ بِسَيفِ الهِندِ في وَمَدٍ
فَسَيفُ إِفرِنجَةَ المَخبوءُ لِلشَبَمِ
