قَصَدَ الدَّهْرُ فيك من بعدِ جَوْرٍ
وأرى الدَّهرَ فيكَ جَوْراً وقَصْدا
Fate has dealt justly with you after its tyranny,
yet in you I see Fate’s tyranny and its justice.
فاسقِني كالعروسِ ألبسَها الما
ءُ وُشاحاً من الحَبابِ وعِقْدا
So give me wine like a bride, whom the wa—
—ter has clothed in a sash of bubbles and a necklace.
قد ظَمِئْنا فكان ريقُكَ وِرْداً
وثَمِلْنا فكان خدُّكَ وَرْدَا
We had grown thirsty, and your saliva was our draught;
and we grew drunk, and your cheek became a rose.
جمعَ اللهُ شملَنا فودَدْنا
أنَّ بين الصَّباحِ واللَّيلِ سَدَّا
God brought our company together, and we wished
there were a wall between the dawn and night.
Sol 5.6
