Glory belongs to him who owns it

الزق ملك لمن كان له

1. Glory belongs to him who owns it
And kingship from him is long and short

١. الزِّقُ مُلْكٌ لمن كان له
والمُلْكُ منه طويل وقَصيرْ

2. Of it is the dawn which leaves me
A roaring lion and much wealth

٢. منها الصَّبوحُ الذي يترُكني
ليثَ عِفرِّين والمالُ كثِيرْ

3. So the first of the night is a sleepy lion
And the last of the night is a clumsy hyena

٣. فأوَّلُ الليلِ لَيْثٌ خادِرٌ
وآخِرُ الليلِ ضِبْعانٌ عَثُورْ

4. May God destroy you, o drinking cup
If only you could once refrain from me

٤. قاتَلَكِ اللّه من مشروبةٍ
لو أنّ ذا مرَّةٍ عنكِ صَبُورْ
