1. Where is the wine bearer with his pouring cup?
Come serve me wine until I rise with no sense of my turban from intoxication

2. I excelled in ignorance just as Ibniyas excelled in wisdom and craftsmanship
My daily food is boiled not meat but chickpeas

3. Do not remind him of kindness for the kind were never people
He surpassed in generosity, power, and intelligence Ma'n, Antara, and Iyas

4. His generosity always matched that of the noble not peasants and I do not say the despicable
With swords on days of fighting like lightning

5. And sides on days of drinking like cups
Of people who gained praise by generosity, glorified more generously than all people

6. They are like rain on days of fertility
And like lions on days of affliction

7. They are in the darkness like shining stars
And in barren lands like lofty mountains
