ونَدَامَىand drinking companions فُصَحَاءَeloquent شَربُواthey drank
ونَدَامَى فُصَحَاءَ شَربُوا
إِذwhen غَدَتْbecame أَلْسُنهمْtheir tongues مُنْخَرسهْmute
إِذ غَدَتْ أَلْسُنهمْ مُنْخَرسهْ
And eloquent drinking companions drank,
The eloquent drank wine
as their tongues grew mute.
When their tongues grew heavy
لَبِسُواthey donned أَثْوَابَrobes سُكْرٍdrunkenness وكرىًand slumber
لَبِسُوا أَثْوَابَ سُكْرٍ وكرىً
وانطَوَوْاand they folded themselves up طيَّlike the folding of ثيابclothes دَنِسهsoiled
وانطَوَوْا طيَّ ثياب دَنِسه
They donned robes of drunkenness and slumber,
They donned robes of drunkenness and disgrace
and folded themselves up like soiled clothes.
And wrapped themselves in soiled garments
