1. I called him while the night was pitch dark
Buried underneath the portico amid the gardens
١. ناديته وظلام الليل معتكر
تحت الرواق دفينا في الرياحينِ
2. So I said rise, he said my legs won't obey me
So I said take my hand, he said my hands won't assist me
٢. فقلت قم قال رجلي لا تطاوعني
فقلت خذ قال كفي لا تواتيني
3. I was negligent of the cupbearer, so he made me
As you see me, bereft of reason and faith
٣. إني غفلت عن الساقي فصيَّرني
كما تراني سليب العقل والدينِ
