1. O Lord, who made his dreams wretched
That it was once said that Amr is drunk

2. If I were a drunkard, I wouldn’t drink
Wine or camel urine, nor would the camel be safe from me

3. Sovereignty belongs to those who possess it
In it are the long and the short

4. In it is the morning draught that makes me
A snarling lion with plenty of wealth

5. At the beginning of the night a glorious youth
At the end of the night a fallen drunk

6. May God destroy you, you intoxicating drink
If only you would be patient with me once
