1. لا تَكوني رَوّادَةً هَزّالَه

    وَاِحذَري مِن نَوائِبٍ جَزّالَه

    Do not be a gadabout, given to jest,

    and beware of calamities that cut one down.

  2. إِغزِلي في الحَياةِ فَالشَمسُ قِدماً

    غَزَلَت خَيطَها فَقيلَ غَزالَه

    Spin while you live, for the sun long ago

    spun her thread, and so was called Ghazālah.
