The youth who you are enamored with quenched thirst

سقى طلل الحي الذي أنتم به

1. The youth who you are enamored with quenched thirst
Come let us grant the cup its due

١. سَقَى طَلَلَ الحَيِّ الَّذي أَنْتُمُ بِهِ
تَعَالَوْا بِنَا نُعْطِي الصَّبَابَةَ حَقَّهَا

2. And may the eyelids be joyous in the path of tears
And may the sides of time be wiped

٢. وَيُسْعَدُ صَوْبَ الدَّمْعِ أَجْفَانُ صَبِّهِ
وَتُمْسَحُ أَعْطَافُ الزَّمَانِ لَعَلَّهُ

3. That it may return from its displeasure after displeasure
Do you have knowledge of what passion does

٣. يَعُودُ إلى عُتْبَاهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ عَتْبِهِ
أَعِنْدَكُمْ عِلْمٌ بِمَا يَفْعَلُ الهَوَى

4. When the tear of the eye flows above its outlet
And what the recollection kindles when

٤. إِذَا اسْتَنَّ دَمْعُ العَيْنِ فَوْقَ مَصَبِّهِ
وَمَا يَقْدَحُ التَّذْكَار أَنْ هَبَّ مِنْكُمُ

5. A breeze wafts from you, suffusing the musk short of its vent
It was nothing but the glance the eyelid stole

٥. نَسِيمٌ يَغَصُّ المِسْكُ دُونَ مَهَبِّهِ
وَمَا كَانَ إلاَّ أَنْ جَنَى الطَّرفُ نَظْرَةً

6. And the heart became hostage to the sin of its crime
How can justice be that a man commits a crime

٦. غَدَا القَلْبُ رَهْناً فِي عُقُوبَةِ ذَنْبِهِ
ومَا العَدْلُ أَنْ يَأْتي امْرُؤٌ بِجَرِيْرَةٍ

7. Then his neighbor takes the blame for his iniquities

٧. فَيُؤْخَذُ فِي أَوْزَارِهَا جَارُ جَنْبِهِ
