لَيسَ الفَتى بِجِمالِهِ

لَيسَ الفَتى بِجِمالِهِ

لَكِن بِنَجدَتِهِ وَحَزمِه

لَكِن بِنَجدَتِهِ وَحَزمِه

A young man’s worth lies not in his beauty,

A young man's worth lies not in his beauty,

A youth is not judged by his beauty

but in his courage and resolve.

But in his valor and sound judgment.

But rather by his generosity and wisdom

كَسُلَ الفَتى في شَأنِهِ

كَسُلَ الفَتى في شَأنِهِ

سَبَبٌ لِفاقَتِهِ وَعُدمِه

سَبَبٌ لِفاقَتِهِ وَعُدمِه

When a young man is lazy in his affairs,

A young man's becoming idle in his affairs

The laziness of a youth in his affairs

it causes his poverty and destitution.

Is a cause of his poverty and destitution.

Is the cause of his poverty and ruin
