اللَيالي مُغَيِّراتُ السَجايا

كَم جَعَلنَ الذَيفانَ شُربَ عَيوفِ

The nights change dispositions

How much did they make the lost ones drink the cups of keenness

قَد غَدا القَومُ لِلنُضارِ فَنالو

هُ وَبِتنا وَمَن لَنا بِالزُيوفِ

The people have become delicate to elegance so they attained

Alas, we spent the night while none avails us among the armors

أَوَلا يُبصِرُ الفَتى الذَهَبَ الأَح

مَرَ تُحذى بِهِ نِعالُ السُيوفِ

Does not the young man see the gold to be

Worn by the slippers of swords

لِلحَديدِ العُلا عَلى سائِرِ الجَو

هَرِ ذُلُّ العِدى وَعِزُّ الضُيوفِ

The steel has supremacy over all the atmosphere

So the abasement of enemies and honor of guests
