مدحتكم فلم أدرك لديكم
جنىfruit حلواsweet ولاnor عيشاa life لذيذاdelightful
جنى حلوا ولا عيشا لذيذا
I praised you, yet did not obtain from you
I praised you, but found with you
Sweet fruit or a delightful life.
No sweet fruit, nor pleasant life,
وسارتand circulated فيكمabout you غررthe choicest القوافيrhymes
وسارت فيكم غرر القوافي
صحائحflawless قدindeed أرقتI lay sleepless لهاover them وقيذاexhausted
صحائح قد أرقت لها وقيذا
And the choicest rhymes in your praise circulated,
And twinkling rhymes went through you,
Flawless; I lay sleepless over them, exhausted.
True poems that kept me awake at night,
وعندكمand at your place النبيذthe wine يباعis sold جهراopenly
وعندكم النبيذ يباع جهرا
فبيعونيso sell me بأحسنهاin exchange for the finest of them نبيذاwine
فبيعوني بأحسنها نبيذا
And at your place wine is sold openly;
And in your midst wine was sold openly,
So sell me wine for the finest of them.
So sell me the best of your wine.
Sol 6.1
