I discerned the fallen from what I let loose of my whip,

ميزت ساقط ما سرحت من شمطي

1. I discerned the fallen from what I let loose of my whip,
So nothing fell except its blackness alone.

١. مَيَّزتُ ساقط ما سرّحتُ من شَمَطي
فما تَساقط إلا سودُهُ فقطِ

2. So I said there is no doubt this is the vanity of a wanderer,
And that is the bliss of an ardent one, truly blissful.

٢. فقلتُ لا شكَّ هذا زهوُ مرِتحلٍ
وتلك غبطةُ ثاوٍ جدِّ مغتبِط

3. And that was the best advice I was given,
If only I had desisted from a grave error.

٣. وكان ذلك أَوْفَى ما وُعِظتُ به
لو كنت أرجع عن غىٍّ غلط
