1. يُشَجُّ بَنو آدَمٍ بِالصُخورِ

    وَإِنَّ المُدامَ بِماءٍ تُشَجّ

    The sons of Adam have their heads gashed by rocks,

    And wine, indeed, is cut with water.

  2. فَما نَزَلَ اليُمنُ في شَربِها

    وَلا في وِعاءِ سُلافٍ نَشَج

    So no good fortune has come with drinking it,

    Nor to a gurgling vessel of choice wine.
