1. العَقلُ إِن يَضعُف يَكُن مَعَ

    هَذِهِ الدُنِّيا كَعاشِقِ مومَسٍ تُغويهِ

    If reason weakens, it is with

    this world like a lover of a prostitute who leads him astray;

  2. أَو يَقوَ فَهِيَ لَهُ كَحُرَّةٍ عاقِلٍ

    حَسناءَ يَهواها وَلا تُهويهِ

    or if it grows strong, she is to it like a freeborn woman to a wise man,

    beautiful: he loves her, but she does not bring him down.
