الوَقتُ يُعجِلُ أَن تَكونَ مُحَلِّلاً

عُقَدَ الحَياةِ بِأَن تَحُلَّ الزيجا

Time hastens that you be an analyzer

Of life's complexes by solving algebra

فَالدَهرُ لا يَسخو بِأَريٍ لِلفَتى

حَتّى يَكونَ بِما أَمَرَّ مَزيجا

So fate is not kind with abundant water to the youth

Until he progresses with that which has puzzled mixture

هَزَجَت نَوادِبُ لِلعُقولِ فَخَيَّبَت

أُنثى تَرومُ لِطِفلِها تَهزيجا

The female fates have mocked the minds so they disappointed

A female aspires for her child confusing mixture
