1. وللشباب حِبالاتٌ يصيد بها

    وغُرّةٌ يدّريها كلُّ مُصْطادِ

    And youth has snares with which it hunts,

    And a radiant brow that every hunter stalks.

  2. يُصْبِي بصبوته المصْبى بروْنَقِهِ

    كلا جنيبيه منقادٌ لمنقادِ

    Through its passion, it beguiles the one beguiled by its splendor;

    Each of its two companion steeds yields to one who himself yields.
