The son of Harb generously offered me a cup

إن ابن حرب جاد لي كاسيا

1. The son of Harb generously offered me a cup
Of aged, smooth wine

١. إِنَّ اِبنَ حَربٍ جادَ لي كاسِياً
بِطَيلَسانٍ هَرِمَ قَشمِ

2. Look how torn it is
As if it was ripped at a funeral

٢. اُنظُر إِلى كَثرَةِ تَمزيقِهِ
كَأَنَّما مُزِّقَ في مَأتَمِ

3. I spurn it, though it is precious, like one
Who builds a roof then knocks it down

٣. رَفوي لَهُ وَهوَ رَميمٌ كَمَن
يَبني بِناءً قَوفَ مُستَهدَمِ

4. Its flashing dazzles the eye
Like the heart of a lovesick, passionate man

٤. يَصدَعُهُ اللَحظُ بِإيماضِهِ
صَدعَ فُؤادِ العاشِقِ المُغرَمِ

5. Its many tears remind me
Of people scattering from the holy place

٥. يُذَكِّرُني كَثرَةُ تَمزيقِهِ
تَفَرُّقَ الناسِ عَنِ المَوسِمِ
