قُل لِلَّذي تَبع الغِواية وَالهَوى

كَهلاً وَشَيخاً في زَمان صَباءِ

Say to the one who followed error and desire,

Through maturity and old age, in a season of youthful passion:

أَلقيت جَوهرة الفُؤاد وَأَنَّها

لَثَمينة بِقمامة الأَهواءِ

You cast away the jewel of the heart, though surely

It is precious, into the refuse heap of passions.
