لم يكن ما كان شيئاً يُعتمدْ

بل أموراً وافقت يوم الأحدْ

What happened wasn't something to rely on

But matters that coincided on Sunday

شَغَلَتْنا عن نصيبٍ وافرٍ

من سرورٍ بك يا ذُخْر الأبدْ

Distracted us from abundant fortune

Of joy with you, O treasure of eternity

وسَنُعْفِي بوفاء صادقٍ

ولنا الحُظوةُ فيه والرَّشَدْ

And we will make up with sincere loyalty

For us is intimacy in it and guidance

وكفانا زاجراً عن غَدْرةٍ

قولُهُمُ أنجَز حرٌّ ما وعدْ

And enough to deter us from treachery

Their saying an honest one fulfills what he promised

وكَفَانا مُسْتَحثّاً قولهم

لا تُؤخِّر لذّةَ اليوم لغدْ

And enough to urge us their saying

Do not delay today's pleasure until tomorrow
