1. The crescent of fasting appeared in the evening
With misfortune over the cup and dice
١. تَبَدّى عِشاءً هِلالُ الصِيامِ
بِنَحسٍ عَلى الكَأسِ وَالبَربَطِ
2. How many a young man went among the gatherings
Happy and exceedingly joyful
٢. فَكَم مِن فَتىً راحَ بَينَ القِيا
نِ نَشوانَ ذا فَرَحٍ مُفرِطِ
3. And he was lively, but when he saw
A companion of sorrow, he was not lively
٣. وَكانَ نَشيطاً فَلَمّا رَآ
هُ صاحِبَ هَمٍّ فَلَم يَنشَطِ
4. And he turned away from him as a maiden turned away
With kohl on her eyelids
٤. وَأَعرَضَ عَنهُ كَما أَعرَضَت
فَتاةٌ عَلى الحاجِبِ الأَشمَطِ
