1. فَلَيالي الصِبا أَسَرُّ لَيالٍ

    وَزَمانُ الهَوى أَلَذُّ زَمانِ

    So the nights of youth are the most delightful nights,

    And the time of love is the sweetest time.

  2. وَأَسَرُّ البِلاد ما حَمَدَ السا

    كِنُ فيها خَلائِقَ الجيرانِ

    And the most delightful of lands is where the dwel-

    ler praises the neighbors’ character.
