وَلَرُبَّما حَذِرَ الفَتى

And often a young man is wary
Sometimes the young man is wary
Of what no caution can save him from,
Of what his wariness cannot save him from
كَالمُتَّقيlike one guarding against قَطرَrain السَحاthe clouds (continued)

Like one guarding against the clouds’ rain,
Like one who shields from drops of rain
While a sea surrounds him on the earth.
While an ocean rages round him on the earth
