جِسمُ الفَتى مِثلُ قامَ فِعلٌ

مُذ كانَ ما فارَقَ اِعتِلالا

The young man's body is like an upright spear

Since the time it parted from moderation

وَالخِلُّ في لَفظِهِ ذَليلٌ

بِأَنَّ في وِدِّهِ اِختِلالا

And the defect in his utterance is slight

For there is defect in his affection

مَلِلتُ مِن حِندِسٍ وَصُبحٍ

وَلَم أُبِن فيهِما مَلالا

I wearied of Hinds and Subh

And found in them no weariness
