1. A youth from whom all vice is estranged
No flesh or blood in him intermingled

2. As if bangles of Kibt were suspended
From his straight and slender wrists

3. A parchment of travels when met
With flames hot as fire unflustered

4. When his friends strike his brow in the dark night
He smiles not with jest or bitter humor

5. As if bracelets of his arms had sealed them
With clay from Golan, mute and obscure

6. If you wish to meet the ideal man, genteel and noble
Of pure lineage and precedent, time-honored

7. Be Omar, whom none can transcend
To any other, ask people and understand
