لَنِعمَ التُقى تَقوى فَتاً ضامِرِ الحَشا

خَميصٍ مِنَ الدُنيا تَقِيِّ المَسالِكِ

What excellent piety for a youth whose body is wasted,

A shirt from this world that guards its roads,

فَتىً مَلَكَ اللَذاتِ أَن يَعتَبِدنَهُ

وَما كُلُّ ذي لُبٍّ لَهُنَّ بِمالِكِ

A young man who possessed delights but chose to worship them,

Not everyone with a mind can master them.
