من جلعز افيه

ومن طلع طلع شاربه

With a beard not yet grown

And a mustache just sprouting

صوفان في وجنته

ما ينفعه منطبه

Woolly sideburns on his cheeks

Of no value to him

ولست مشتاق إليه

لو زارني لا اضربه

And I do not yearn for him

If he visits I will not hit him

وأنتشى بالمطال

واستربح إن هجره

And I am happy with promises

And pleased if he stays away

فمن بدت لحيته

فما عليه من حرج

So if his beard starts growing

He bears no shame

ولو تصل سرته

وتستحب في الدرج

Even if his hidden part connects

And is welcomed on the path

لا يبصره خبرته

مليح ولو هو لفج

His experience does not see

Handsome even if uncouth

وينتشوا بالوصال

ويشرحوا في المر

And they rejoice in union

And relax in happiness
