With what and in what times are you specialized?

بأي وفي في زمانك تختص

1. With what and in what times are you specialized?
So it exceeds excessively in your hands, to which it has a license

١. بِأَيِّ وَفِيٍّ في زمانِك تختصُّ
فيغلو غلُوّاً في يديكَ له رُخْصُ

2. And how many latent enemies in an alleged friend
And a place of safety in which the thief takes precautions

٢. وكم من عدوٍّ كامنٍ في مُصادِقٍ
وَمَوضِعِ أمْنٍ فيه يحترسُ اللِّصُّ

3. And how many horses perfected in beauty
Yet when competing in glory, deficiency overtook it

٣. وكم فرَس في الحسن أُكمِل خلقُهُ
فلمَّا عَدا في الشأوِ أدركهُ النقصُ

4. And how many sights presented in morning are deferred
When the text continues, the text defers it

٤. وكم منظرٍ في البُزْلِ قدّم في السرى
فلمَّا استَمَرَّ النصُّ أخّرَهُ النصُّ

5. So is the friend of a person, his trial calls
To what would be asceticism in it or greed

٥. كذاكَ خليلُ المرءِ يدعو اختبارُهُ
إلى ما يكون الزهدُ فيه أوِ الحرصُ

6. And there is no good in a nature blamed for ignorance
And praised for its personality before experience

٦. ولا خَيْرَ في خُلْقٍ يُذَمّ لجهله
وَيُحْمَدُ منه قبْلَ خِبرَتِهِ الشخصُ

7. And money is only like wings for one rising
And deficiency may afflict it from its needs

٧. وما المالُ إلّا كالجَناحِ لِناهِضٍ
وقد يَعْتريهِ عن حوائجه القَصُّ

8. And how many virtuous people dressed below their worth
The essence distinguished bodies, not pearls and gems

٨. وكم فاضلٍ ملبوسُهُ دونَ قَدْرِهِ
وِعَا الجوهرِ الأجسام لا الدرُّ والفصُّ
