أَدرَكت مِنَ الهُموم صُبحاً ثاري

أَدرَكت مِنَ الهُموم صُبحاً ثاري

بِالزقِّ صرعتُهُ لَدى الأَوتارِ

بِالزقِّ صرعتُهُ لَدى الأَوتارِ

At dawn I exacted my revenge on sorrows;

I awoke to anxieties raging

With the wineskin I laid it low beside the strings.

With wine I laid them low beside the strings

من دَنِّ مُدامَتي أَرى يَوميَ ذا

من دَنِّ مُدامَتي أَرى يَوميَ ذا

يَوم اِنهَزمَ الجُموعُ مِن ذي قارِ

يَوم اِنهَزمَ الجُموعُ مِن ذي قارِ

From my wine jar, I see this day of mine

From my cup I see my days as one when

As the day the hosts fled in defeat from Dhi Qar.

The armies were routed at Dhi Qar
