وَإِذا مَضى لِلمَرءِ مِن أَعوامِهِ

وَإِذا مَضى لِلمَرءِ مِن أَعوامِهِ

خَمسونَ وَهوَ عَنِ الصِبا لَم يَجنَحِ

خَمسونَ وَهوَ عَنِ الصِبا لَم يَجنَحِ

And when, of a man's years, there have passed

When fifty years have passed for a man

Fifty, and he has not turned away from youthful passion,

And he is no longer swayed by youth

عَكَفَت عَلَيهِ المُخزِياتُ وَقُلنَ قَد

عَكَفَت عَلَيهِ المُخزِياتُ وَقُلنَ قَد

أَضحَكتَنا وَسَرَرتَنا لا تَبرَحِ

أَضحَكتَنا وَسَرَرتَنا لا تَبرَحِ

Disgraceful deeds gather around him and say, 'Indeed,

Humiliations crowd him insistently-

You have made us laugh and delighted us—do not leave!'

"You have made us laugh, now depart!"

وَإِذا رَأى إِبليسُ غُرَّةَ وَجهِهِ

وَإِذا رَأى إِبليسُ غُرَّةَ وَجهِهِ

حَيّا وَقالَ فَدَيتُ مَن لَم يُفلِحِ

حَيّا وَقالَ فَدَيتُ مَن لَم يُفلِحِ

And when Iblis sees the brightness of his face,

When Iblis sees the foolish innocence on his face

He greets him and says, 'May I be a ransom for one who has not prospered!'

He salutes him- "I sacrifice myself for one who does not succeed!"
