أَمتِع شَبابِكَ مِن لَهوٍ وَمِن طَرَبٍ

وَلا تُصخ لِمَلامٍ سَمعَ مُكتَرِثِ

Enjoy your youth with joy and delight

And turn not away to blame of the morose;

فَخَيرُ عَيشِ الفَتى رَيعانُ جِدَّتِهِ

وَالعُمرُ مِن فِضَّةٍ وَالشَيبُ مِن خَبَثِ

The best of luck of a youth is his valor time

Life is but silvern and age is but dross
