رب يوم قطعت فيه خماري

رب يوم قطعت فيه خماري

بغزال كأنه مخمور

بغزال كأنه مخمور

Many a day I dispelled my hangover

My Lord, the day you cut my veil

With a gazelle who seemed intoxicated;

With a gazelle as if intoxicated

ومصاد سرحت فيه ونصر

ومصاد سرحت فيه ونصر

بازيازي مظفر منصور

بازيازي مظفر منصور

And many a hunting ground I roamed, while Nasr—

And spears I unleashed and victory

My falconer, apparently—was victorious and triumphant,

With my victorious, triumphant knights

بصقور مثل النجوم إذا انقضت

بصقور مثل النجوم إذا انقضت

وعصف كأنهن صقور

وعصف كأنهن صقور

With falcons like stars when they plunge downward,

With falcons like stars when they swoop down

And swift she-camels, perhaps, as though they were falcons.

And a gale as if they were falcons
