1. We did not seek out idleness through ignorance, but rather
That was from experience and from experimentation
١. ما طلبْنا الخمولَ جهلاً ولكنْ
ذاكَ عن خبرةٍ وعنْ تجريبِ
2. If we believed the crowds in it, we would have
Wished it upon a friend and a beloved
٢. لو أمنَّا الزحامَ فيه لكُنَّا
نشتهيهِ لصاحبٍ وحبيبِ
