وَقَدْ أُعاصِي في الشَبابِ المَيّال

وَقَدْ أُعاصِي في الشَبابِ المَيّال

مَوْعِظَة الأَدْنَى وَتَفْطِينَ الوالْ

مَوْعِظَة الأَدْنَى وَتَفْطِينَ الوالْ

And in wayward youth I would sometimes defy

In youth I disobeyed the wisdom of the meek

The admonition of one close to me and the guardian’s guidance.

And ignored the counsel of those close to me
