1. يا مُنضِيَ الطَرفِ في مَيدان لذته

    وَناضي الطَرفِ بَينَ الراحِ وَالرُود

    O you who weary your gaze in the arena of its pleasure,

    And unsheathe your gaze amid wine and graceful women,

  2. سَتَشربُ الراحَ راحَ الوَقتِ كارِهَةً

    وَيَذهبُ الجسمُ بَينَ التُربِ وَالدُودِ

    You will drink wine—the wine of time—unwillingly,

    And the body will perish amid dust and worms.
