يا سوأتا لفتى له أدب
يضحي هواه قاهراً أدبه
Alas, what shame for a youth possessed of refinement:
his passion comes to overpower his good breeding.
يأتي الدنيّةوهو يعرفها
فيشينعرضاً صائناً أربه
He stoops to baseness, knowing it for what it is,
and stains his honor while safeguarding his desire.
فإذا ارعوى عادت بصيرته
تبكي على الحزم الذي سلبه
Then, when he comes to his senses, his insight returns,
weeping for the prudence of which passion robbed him.
Sol 5.6
