1. I pulled out the tooth of ignorance
Before the tooth of wisdom could sprout
١. قلعت ضرسي قبل ضرس الجهل
فلم يعد ينبت ضرس العقل
2. How could one as young as I not be ignorant
Having lived with the flock, lightly shaded
٢. وكيف لا يجهل صبٌ مثلي
عاش مع الغيد خفيف الظل
3. His food is comfort and the tinkle of anklets
And the leaf of the doe-eyed maidens
٣. غذاؤه الراح ورَنُّ الحجْلِ
وريق ربات العيون النجل
4. Such is the grace of God, the most coveted grace
٤. ذلك فضل الله أشهى فضل
