A judge of ours—whenever he sways or appears,
However he sways or appears a judge for us
The bough and the full moon envy him.
The branch and the moon are jealous of him

قالَ لسانُ الحالِ مِنْ ريقِهِ

The voice of his condition spoke through his saliva:
The tongue of the state said from his saliva
“Today, wine; and tomorrow, business.”
Today it is wine, and tomorrow a matter
