وقد جعلت إذا ما قمت يشقلني

وقد جعلت إذا ما قمت يشقلني

ثوبي فأنهض نهض الشارب الثمل

ثوبي فأنهض نهض الشارب الثمل

I have come, whenever I stand, to find it weighing me down—

And now, whenever I stand, I am weighed down

When I stand, my clothes weigh heavy on me,

my robe—so I stagger upright as a wine-drinker, drunk.

By my robe, and rise as a drunken drinker rises.

And I rise like a drunken man rises.
