1. The everlasting one who wandered astray
Once reckless in the wilderness
١. اِلتَحى الأَمرَدُ الَّذي
كانَ في التيهِ مُسرِفا
2. Handsome was his face
And nimble his gait
٢. حَسَناً كانَ وَجهُهُ
وَسَريعاً تَصَحَّفا
3. By God, it gladdened my sight
Though imperfect he remained
٣. سَرَّ وَاللَهِ ناظِري
ما أَرى فيهِ وَاِشتَفى
4. Thank God for the beard
That covered his chin
٤. شَكَرَ اللَهُ لِحيَةً
صَيَّرَت وَجهَهُ قَفا
