Time is between folded and unfolded,

الدهر ما بين مطوي ومبسوط

1. Time is between folded and unfolded,
And water between drawn and overflowed.

١. الدَهرُ ما بَينَ مَطوِيٍّ وَمَبسوطِ
وَالماءُ ما بَينَ مَجرودٍ وَمَخروطِ

2. In a gathering made pleasant by ladies of the past,
It remains, adorned with arrangement and pouring.

٢. في مَجلِسٍ عَمَرَتهُ الغادِياتُ لَنا
فَظَلَّ يُحلى بِتَزويقٍ وَتَسليطِ

3. So drink to its beauty, if you believe
No face of excess will be seen in it.

٣. فَاِشرَب عَلى حُسنِهِ إِن كُنتَ مُعتَقِداً
أَلّا يُرى مِنهُ فيهِ وَجهُ تَفريطِ
