1. With drinking companions I have not enjoyed,
So I regret when I become other than his drinking companion,
١. ومنادمٍ لم أرضَ من أشري
فندمتُ اذ اصبحتُ غيرَ شريبه
2. Oh, would that I had not met whom I met,
My pillow and I were left to the watch of his keeper.
٢. يا ليت ما ألقاهُ مِن أرقي به
وسهاديَ انفردا بَعينِ رقيبهِ
