وَمَا كَيِّسٌ في النَّاسِ يُحْمَدُ رَأْيُهُ

وَمَا كَيِّسٌ في النَّاسِ يُحْمَدُ رَأْيُهُ

فَيُوجَدُ إِلاَّ وَهْوَ في الحُبِّ أَحْمَقُ

فَيُوجَدُ إِلاَّ وَهْوَ في الحُبِّ أَحْمَقُ

And no shrewd man among people, whose judgment is praised,

No wise man among people is praised for his reason,

Is found without being a fool in love.

Except when infatuated, he proves to be a fool.

وَما مِنْ فَتىً مَا ذاقَ بُؤْسَ مَعيشَةٍ

وَما مِنْ فَتىً مَا ذاقَ بُؤْسَ مَعيشَةٍ

مِنَ الدَّهْرِ إِلاَّ ذَاقَها حِينَ يَعْشِقُ

مِنَ الدَّهْرِ إِلاَّ ذَاقَها حِينَ يَعْشِقُ

And no young man who has never tasted the hardship of living

No young man who hasn't tasted the woes of living,

Through the years fails to taste it when he falls in love.

Ever suffers as when enslaved by love's pull.
