Sol 6.1

  1. ولقد صحبتُ العزَّ مذ أنا يافعٌ

    فهو الشَّباب على الشبابِ أتاني

    Indeed, I have kept company with glory since I was a youth;

    For it came to me as youth upon youth.

  2. ولو اعترى بعد الشباب لسرَّني

    فالعزُّ مكتهلاً شبابٌ ثاني

    And had it come after youth, it would have gladdened me;

    For glory in middle age is a second youth.
