وخَليعٍ بِتُّ أَعْذُلُهُ

وخَليعٍ بِتُّ أَعْذُلُهُ

ويرى عَذْلِي من العَبَثِ

ويرى عَذْلِي من العَبَثِ

And I spent the night reproaching a libertine,

And a shameless one who sees my chastity as worthless

and he regards my reproach as mere folly.

And considers my virtue to be frivolous

قلتُ إنّ الخمرَ مَخْبَثةٌ

قلتُ إنّ الخمرَ مَخْبَثةٌ

قال حاشاها من الخبَثِ

قال حاشاها من الخبَثِ

I said, 'Wine is a source of wickedness.'

I said that wine is despicable

He said, 'Far be wickedness from her!'

He said far be it from despicableness

قلتُ فالأرفاثُ تَتْبَعها

قلتُ فالأرفاثُ تَتْبَعها

قال طِيبُ العَيش في الرَّفَثِ

قال طِيبُ العَيش في الرَّفَثِ

I said, 'But obscenities follow her.'

I said it leads to vomit

He said, 'Life's sweetness lies in lewdness.'

He said the good life is in excess

قلتُ منها القيء قال نعم

قلتُ منها القيء قال نعم

شَرُفَتْ عن مَخْرَج الحَدَثِ

شَرُفَتْ عن مَخْرَج الحَدَثِ

I said, 'She brings vomiting.' He said, 'Yes.'

I said it leads to vomit, he said yes

'She is too noble to pass through the outlet of excrement.'

It exited through the outlet of renewal

وسأسْلوها فقلت متى

وسأسْلوها فقلت متى

قال عند الكَونِ في الجَدَثِ

قال عند الكَونِ في الجَدَثِ

'And I shall forget her.' I said, 'When?'

And I will ask it, so I said when

He said, 'When I am in the grave.'

He said, at the existence in the shroud
