She is the breeze, a welcome for prolonged satire,

هي الراح أهلا لطول الهجاء

1. She is the breeze, a welcome for prolonged satire,
Though some may reserve her for praise,

١. هِيَ الراحُ أَهلاً لِطولِ الهِجاءِ
وَإِن خَصَّها مَعشَرٌ بِالمِدَح

2. Do not be amazed by the bride of wine,
Nor let a singing minstrel enchant you,

٢. فَلا تُعجِبَنكَ عَروسُ المُدامِ
وَلا يُطرِبَنكَ مُغَنٍّ صَدَح

3. And he who for an hour misses his heart,
Then in it he dies, lost in ample discourse,

٣. وَمَن يَفتَقِد لُبَّهُ ساعَةً
فَقَد ماتَ فيها بِخَطبٍ فَدَح

4. Ugly is he who counts some of the seas
As his drowning himself in a cup.

٤. قَبيحٌ بِمَن عَدَّ بَعضَ البِحارِ
تَغريقُهُ نَفسَهُ في قَدَح
