1. What excellent piety for a youth whose body is wasted,
A shirt from this world that guards its roads,
١. لَنِعمَ التُقى تَقوى فَتاً ضامِرِ الحَشا
خَميصٍ مِنَ الدُنيا تَقِيِّ المَسالِكِ
2. A young man who possessed delights but chose to worship them,
Not everyone with a mind can master them.
٢. فَتىً مَلَكَ اللَذاتِ أَن يَعتَبِدنَهُ
وَما كُلُّ ذي لُبٍّ لَهُنَّ بِمالِكِ
