وكلّ غلام فيه تيه ونخوةٌ

يلين إذا ما حل يوما بعكبرا

Every youth has folly and chivalry

He mellows when one day in Akbar comes

يقال له أيّام يأتي ويتّقي

وعشّاقه يعطونه ما تخيّرا

It's said his days will come and he'll beware

And his lovers give him what they chose

فما هو إلا يومه ثم في غد

إذا ذاق ماء السؤر صلى وعفرا

It's but his day, then tomorrow anon

When he tastes misfortune's water, he prays and rubs his brow
