1. Leave the words of gossip and whisper
And make them like the barking of puppies
١. دَعْ قَولَ وَاشِيَةٍ وواشِ
وَاجْعلهُما كلْبَيْ هِراشِ
2. And drink matured wine that flows
Flowing in the bones and in the gums
٢. واشْرَبْ مُعَتَّقَةً تَسَلْ
سَلُ في العِظامِ وفي المُشاشِ
3. Until you see the old lute
More tender than the peach
٣. حَتَّى تَرى العُودَ المُسن
نَ بِها أَرقَّ مِنَ الخَشاشِ
