وَصَيَّرَ لِي حُمقِي بِغَالاً وَعِلمَةً
وَكُنتُand I was زَمَانَin the days of العَقلِreason مُمتَطِياًriding رِجلِيmy foot
وَكُنتُ زَمَانَ العَقلِ مُمتَطِياً رِجلِي
And my folly furnished me with mules and learning;
My foolishness has become expensive and renowned,
Whereas in my days of reason, I rode my own foot.
Though once I rode the steed of reason with my feet.
