1. يا أَيُّها الرَشَأُ الَّذي قَد عَذَّرا

    فَحَوى الخَمائِلَ وَالعَقيقَ الأَحمَرا

    O young gazelle who has sprouted cheek-down,

    Thus bearing leafy thickets and red agate,

  2. قُم فَاِصطَبِح ما راقَ حَتّى إِنَّهُ

    لَو ريقَ ماءُ الوَردِ فيهِ تَكَدَّرا

    Rise and take a morning draught of wine so clear that,

    Were rosewater poured into it, it would turn cloudy.

  3. فَالهَمُّ لَيسَ يَراكَ في لَيلِ الصِبى

    فَاِنعَم فَلَيسَ يَراكَ إِن هُوَ أَقمَرا

    For sorrow does not see you in the night of youth;

    So enjoy yourself: it will not see you, even if that night turns moonlit.
