ما كل ذي نقص سها عن نصه
Not everyone with a flaw is oblivious to his flaw;
لكنما من نقصه استهتار
rather, reckless disregard is one of his flaws.
يقوى ويعلم وهو يبدي لومه
He grows bold, knowing full well, even as he voices blame;
فيطاول الأيام وهي قصار
thus he vies to outlast the days, though they are brief.
ويسوقه الشيطان للغير دائما
And Satan drives him ever toward others,
وعساه لم يطلع عليه نهار
and perhaps no day has ever dawned upon him.
Sol 5.6
