أُجاهِدُ بِالظَهارَةِ حينَ أَشتو

وَذاكَ جِهادُ مِثلي وَالرِباطُ

I struggle at noon when I yearn

And that is the struggle of one like me and devotion

مَضى كانونُ ما استَعمَلتُ فيهِ

حَميمَ الماءِ فَاِقدُم ياسُباطُ

The month of January has passed in which

I did not use hot water, so move on O youth

تُشابِهُ أَنفُسَ الحَشَراتِ نَفسي

يَكونُ لَهُنَّ بِالصَيفِ اِرتِباطُ

My soul resembles the souls of insects

They have an attachment in summer

لَقَد رَقَدَ المَعاشِرُ في ثَراهُم

فَما هَبَّ الجِعادُ وَلا السِباطُ

The companies have certainly slept in their beds

So neither the locusts nor the lions have risen
