1. My heart was not inclined to heed good counsel, so what
A harder heart than mine, and less heedful eyes!
١. لَم يَعطف النُصح قَلبي لِلرَشاد فَما
أَقساهُ مِن قَلب وَأَجفاني
2. I spent my finest days and their beauty too
In frivolity - my heedless eyes did not awake to good.
٢. قَضيت أَحسَن أَيامي وَأَجملها
بِاللَهو ما اِنتَبهت لِلخَير أَجفاني
