I awoke him, and the impulses of intimacy impelled

نبهته ودواعي الأنس داعية

1. I awoke him, and the impulses of intimacy impelled
Towards enjoyment, and the harbinger of dawn had shouted,

١. نَبهتهُ وَدَواعي الأُنس داعية
إِلى الطَلا وَبَشير الصُبح قَد هَتَفا

2. So he rose from his sleep, and you would think his teeth
Were a moon that cuts off comfort from him, so they appeared.

٢. فَقامَ مِن نَومِهِ وَسِنان تَحسبهُ
بَدراً تَقطع عَنهُ النَعيم فَاِنكَشَفا

3. And he said, “Give it here and take it, and seize opportunities,
For you will not see an age that passes having a successor.”

٣. وَقالَ هاتَ وَخُذها وَاِنتَهَز فُرَصاً
فَلَن تَرى لِزَمان يَنقَضي خَلَفا
