أَصُمتَ الشُهورَ فَهَلّا صَمَتَّ

وَلا صَومَ حَتّى تُطيلَ الصُموتا

You kept silent for months, why not keep silent still,

Nor fast except to prolong your silence.

يُلاقي الفَتى عَيشَهُ بِالضَلالِ

وَيَبقى عَلَيهِ إِلى أَن يَموتا

A young man finds his livelihood in error

And it remains with him until he dies.
