A drink for times past, how good they were,

سقيا لدهر مضى ما كان أحسنه

1. A drink for times past, how good they were,
When you were compliant and virtue was but a dinar.

١. سقياً لدهرٍ مضى ما كان أحسنه
إذ أنت متَّبعٌ والشرط دينارُ

2. The days your face whose cheeks shone bright,
And on your cheeks spring had cast its light.

٢. أيام وجهك مصقول عوارضه
وللربيع على خديك أنوارُ

3. His death has come and darkened his cheek
As the home is darkened when death does reek.

٣. حانت منيته فاسودَّ عارضه
كما يُسوَّدُ بعد الميت الدارُ
