1. The young man's body is like an upright spear
Since the time it parted from moderation
١. جِسمُ الفَتى مِثلُ قامَ فِعلٌ
مُذ كانَ ما فارَقَ اِعتِلالا
2. And the defect in his utterance is slight
For there is defect in his affection
٢. وَالخِلُّ في لَفظِهِ ذَليلٌ
بِأَنَّ في وِدِّهِ اِختِلالا
3. I wearied of Hinds and Subh
And found in them no weariness
٣. مَلِلتُ مِن حِندِسٍ وَصُبحٍ
وَلَم أُبِن فيهِما مَلالا
