Woe to the pleasures of youth as a livelihood

ويلم لذات الشباب معيشة

1. Woe to the pleasures of youth as a livelihood
Along with abundance, the carefree young man is given

١. وَيلُمِّ لَذّاتِ الشَبابِ مَعيشَةً
مَعَ الكُثرِ يُعطاهُ الفَتى المُتلِفُ النَدي

2. And the heart may make the young man reasonable without his worry
And without the heart he would have been a daring scout

٢. وَقَد يَعقِلُ القُلُّ الفَتى دونَ هَمَّهِ
وَقَد كانَ لَولا القُلُّ طَلّاعَ أَنجُدِ

3. And I have cut through the terrifying tear with it torn apart
With a spear like the eyelid of the fully armed Persian

٣. وَقَد أَقطَعُ الخَرقَ المَخوفَ بِهِ الرَدى
بِعَنسٍ كَجَفنِ الفارِسِيِّ المُسَرَّدِ

4. As if its arms upon the mole were, after
The wailing of the arms of an undressed warrior

٤. كَأَنَّ ذِراعَيها عَلى الخَلِّ بَعدَما
وَنينَ ذِراعا ماتِحٍ مُتَجَرِّدِ
