قَدِمَarrived الفَتىthe youth وَمَضىand departed بِغَيرِwithout تَئِيَّةٍdelay
قَدِمَ الفَتى وَمَضى بِغَيرِ تَئِيَّةٍ
كَهِلالِlike a crescent أَوَّلِthe first لَيلَةٍnight مِنof شَهرِهِits month
كَهِلالِ أَوَّلِ لَيلَةٍ مِن شَهرِهِ
The youth arrived and departed without delay,
Like the crescent on the first night of its month.
لَقَدِindeed اِستَراحَfound rest مِنَfrom الحَياةِlife مُعَجَّلٌone taken early
لَقَدِ اِستَراحَ مِنَ الحَياةِ مُعَجَّلٌ
لَوif عاشَhe had lived كابَدَhe would have endured شِدَّةًhardship فيin دَهرِهِhis lifetime
لَو عاشَ كابَدَ شِدَّةً في دَهرِهِ
One taken early has indeed found rest from life;
Had he lived, he would have endured hardship in his lifetime.
