قُل لِهارونَ إِن حَلَل

تَ بِهِ قَولَ ذي مِقَه

Tell Haroun if he is pleased

With the saying of a distasteful person

أَطبَقَ المَوتُ وَالنُفو

سُ عَلى اللَهوِ مُطبِقَه

Death and souls are imposed

On frivolity imposed

كَيفَ يَلهو مَن لَيسَ مِن

عُشرِ يَومٍ عَلى ثِقَه

How can one be frivolous who is not

Sure of living ten days
