إذَاwhen شَغِفَتْbecame enamored نَفْسُthe soul الْفَتَىof the young man بالمعارِفِof knowledge
إذَا شَغِفَتْ نَفْسُ الْفَتَى بالمعارِفِ
تَساوَىbecame equal لَدَيْهِto him عَيْشُlife خِصْبٍof plenty وشاظِفِand hardship
تَساوَى لَدَيْهِ عَيْشُ خِصْبٍ وشاظِفِ
When a young man's soul is enamored of knowledge,
When a young man's soul is inflamed with knowledge
Life in plenty and in hardship is alike to him.
He finds the same pleasure in poverty or in wealth
وَهاجَرَand he forsook مِنْamong لَذّاتِهِhis pleasures كُلَّevery ناعِمٍcomfort
وَهاجَرَ مِنْ لَذّاتِهِ كُلَّ ناعِمٍ
وَفارَقَand he left منْamong أَوْطانِهِhis homelands كُلَّevery وارِفِlushly shaded place
وَفارَقَ منْ أَوْطانِهِ كُلَّ وارِفِ
And he forsakes every comfort among his pleasures,
He abandons all luxuries
And leaves every lushly shaded place in his homelands.
And leaves behind his native land
وَعَانَقَand he embraced أَبْكارَvirgins المعانِيof meaning وَلَمْand did not يَمِلْincline
وَعَانَقَ أَبْكارَ المعانِي وَلَمْ يَمِلْ
إلىtoward وَصْلِunion with أَبْكارِvirgins الْغَوانيthe beautiful women الشَّواعِفِwho captivate hearts
إلى وَصْلِ أَبْكارِ الْغَواني الشَّواعِفِ
And he embraces virgin meanings, and does not incline
He embraces new concepts tirelessly
Toward union with heart-captivating virgin beauties.
And strives to attain unprecedented heights
