1. My side shunned the pillow
Fearing death and the return
١. جَنبي تَجافى عَنِ الوِسادِ
خَوفاً مِنَ المَوتِ وَالمَعادِ
2. He who fears the intoxication of demise
Knows not the delight of slumber
٢. مَن خافَ مِن سَكرَةِ المَنايا
لَم يَدرِ ما لَذَّةُ الرُقادِ
3. The crops have reached their end
The crops must be harvested
٣. قَد بَلَغَ الزَرعُ مُنتَهاهُ
لا بُدَّ لِلزَّرعِ مِن حَصادِ
