1. The bird, O friend
In your bosom has cried out
١. الطَّيرُ يا صاح
في أَيكِ الرّبى قَد صاح
2. And passion has lamented
From where the dove has cried out
٢. وَالصَّبُّ قَد نَاح
مِن حَيث الحَمام قَد نَاح
3. And tears have flowed
When meaning has wandered
٣. وَالدَّمعُ قَد سَاح
إِذ هام المُعنّى ساح
4. And reason has departed
From drinking liquor with the zephyr
٤. وَالعَقلُ قَد راح
مِن شُربِ اللّمى مَع رَاح
