سَقياً وَرَعياً لِأَيّامِ الصَباباتِ

أَيّامَ أَرفُلُ في أَثوابِ لَذّاتي

Watering and grazing the days of youth

Days when I revel in the clothes of my pleasures

أَيّامَ غُصني رَطيبٌ مِن لُدونَتِهِ

أَصبو إِلى غَيرِ جاراتٍ وَكَنّاتِ

Days when my branch is fragrant from its moistness

I wander to those other than my neighbors and companions

دَع عَنكَ ذِكرَ زَمانٍ فاتَ مَطلَبُهُ

وَاِقذِف بِرِجلَيكَ عَن مَتنِ الجَهالاتِ

Leave behind the mention of a time whose quest has passed

And kick with your two legs the backs of ignorances

وَاِقصِد بِكُلِّ مَديحٍ أَنتَ قائِلُهُ

نَحوَ الهُداةِ بَني بَيتِ الكَراماتِ

And aim with every praise you say

Towards the guides, children of the house of nobilities
