أرَى الفَتَى اليَومَ ذَا صَرفٍ وأسفَارِ
ومُدمِناًand addicted to شِربَdrinking أسفَارٍgreat gobletfuls بِإِسفَارِat daybreak
ومُدمِناً شِربَ أسفَارٍ بِإِسفَارِ
I see the young man today, given to unmixed wine and travel,
And addicted to drinking great gobletfuls at daybreak.
تَرَاهُyou see him يَحمِلُhe carries أسفَاراًbooks ويَجهلُهَاand he does not understand them
تَرَاهُ يَحمِلُ أسفَاراً ويَجهلُهَا
كَالعيرِlike an ass يِحمِلُhe carries أسفَاراًbooks بِأسفَارِon journeys
كَالعيرِ يِحمِلُ أسفَاراً بِأسفَارِ
You see him carrying books he does not understand,
Like an ass carrying books on its journeys.
