1. O Abu Hafs, who settled in prosperity,
For you in glory there is a gem,
١. يا أبا حفصٍ الذي
حلَّ في خيرٍ عُنْصُرِ
2. More eminent than any gem,
What do you see in al-Sanobar
٢. لك في المجدِ جَوْهرٌ
جلَّ عن كلِّ جوهر
3. O torment of al-Sanobar
In a youth between tipsy ones
٣. ما ترى في الصَّنوْبَرِي
يا عَذابَ الصنوبري
4. Of passion and drunkenness
Between a jaundiced cheek
٤. في فتىً بَينَ مُسْكري
نِ غرامٍ وَمُسْكِر
5. And a saffron drink
And a clinging conversation
٥. بين خدٍّ مُعَصْفَرٍ
وشرابٍ معصفر
6. And a mellifluous singing
Give him that which you see
٦. وحديثٍ مُمَسَّكِ
وغناءٍ مُعَنْبَر
7. In it you are praised and rewarded
٧. أفْتِهِ بالذي تَرَى
فيه تُحْمَدْ وَتُؤْجَر
