1. Though mortals were created for the cup's delight
And lute and reed and oud to glad the night
١. لَئِن خُلِقَ الأَنامُ لَحَسوِ كَأسٍ
وَمِزمارٍ وَطُنبورٍ وَعودِ
2. Yet Hamdan's sons were made for only three:
For glory, war, or open-handedness and might
٢. فَلَم يُخلَق بَنو حَمدانَ إِلّا
لِمَجدٍ أَو لِبَأسٍ أَو لِجودِ
