أَتَرحَلُ تَهوى مُقيمُ

لَعُمرُكَ إِنَّ ذا خَطرٌ جَسيمُ

Do you travel though you're settled, longing for home?

By your life! That's a perilous risk to roam.

إِذا ما كُنتَ لِلحَدَثانِ عَوناً

عَلَيكَ وَلِلزَّمانِ فَمَن تَلومُ

If you're not to help the youths, then who is to blame

When time's trials have afflicted them with shame?
