فَتىً لَم تَجِد فيهِ العِدى ما يَعيبُهُ
وَلَكِنَّهُمand yet they عابواthey faulted الَّذيthat which عَنهُof it قَصَّرواthey fell short
وَلَكِنَّهُم عابوا الَّذي عَنهُ قَصَّروا
A young man in whom his foes found nothing to fault,
A youth whom they could find no fault to blame
yet they faulted what they themselves fell short of.
Yet they blamed that he fell short in his aim
إِذاwhen ذَمَّهُdisparage him الأَعداءُthe enemies قالواthey say مُفَرِّطٌwasteful
إِذا ذَمَّهُ الأَعداءُ قالوا مُفَرِّطٌ
وَإِنand if بالَغواthey go further بِالذَمِّin blame قالواthey say مُبَذِّرُa squanderer
وَإِن بالَغوا بِالذَمِّ قالوا مُبَذِّرُ
When his enemies disparage him, they call him wasteful;
When censured by foes, they said he failed his part
and if they go further in their blame, they call him a squanderer.
And when greatly blamed, said he was wild at heart
وَإِنand if شاءَwish قَومٌsome people أَنto يَعيبواthey find fault with مَكانَهُhis station
وَإِن شاءَ قَومٌ أَن يَعيبوا مَكانَهُ
مِنَin المَجدِglory قالواthey say شامِخٌlofty مُتَعَذِّرُunattainable
مِنَ المَجدِ قالوا شامِخٌ مُتَعَذِّرُ
And if some people wish to fault his station
If some should desire his high rank to acclaim
in glory, they say, "Lofty and unattainable."
They'd say he was proud and sought lofty fame
