امدح الجلاس
سادتي الأكياس
I praise the sitting ones
My lords, the bags
هم خيار الناس
كم أزالوا باس
They are the best of people
How much sorrow they removed
في الجزل اذكر
والمواليه
In generosity, I mention
And the loyal ones
إنهم عندي
خير مواليه
They are to me
The best loyal ones
كنّهم غزلان
أو غُصينات بان
As if they are gazelles
Or fresh, radiant branches
كم عن الإخوان
أذهبوا أحزان
How much from the brothers
They took away sorrows
لا أزال أدعو
وارفع إيديه
I do not cease to pray
And lift my hands
أي لهم يا قوم
مخلص النيّه
Yes, for them O people
The sincere intentioned one
بينهم معكوس
طالعه منحوس
Among them a jinx
With an ominous ascendant
كالقصب فيه سوس
في حشاه مدسوس
Like a cane in it is a worm
In its pith inserted
إن رأى زُبّي
شبه سحليّه
If he saw my penis
Like a lizard
نام وقال قوم
سحلبه فيّه
He sleeps and says people
Insert a probe in it
مشيته بزّه
له بها هزّه
His walking is strutting
For it he has a shake
إن قفز قفزه
أشبه الوزّه
If he jumps he jumps
Most like a goose
أي وله قامه
مثل ما هيّه
Yes, and for him a stature
Like what it is
كالخصى تبقى
رايحه جيّه
Like the castrated remains
A returning smell
يوم ما شاني
قام شاشاني
The day he quarreled with me
He stood up peeing
أي وما شاني
في كلام شاني
Yes, and why he quarreled
In improper speech
قال خذ شيك
يا كُبيش هيّه
He said take a check
You penis-less
قلت مَن ذا وإيش
قام بديهيّه
I said who is this and what
He started with nonsense
قال مَن ذا قوق
قلت ماذا قوق
He said who is this duck
I said what duck
قال تصير معلوق
بالخصى ملقوق
He said you'll be hung
By the castrated, cooked
ألف لقّه أو
ألف مع ميّه
A thousand folds or
A thousand with water
قلت له والك
تفحش أقوالك
I said to him, damn you
Your words are vulgar
خذ طالع فالك
خابت آمالك
Leave, your luck has failed
Your hopes are ruined
واسمع مني
ذي المشايشيه
And listen to me
You of vile traits
يا قواقي جاء
من قواقيه
O you quacks, there came
From the quacks
قلت مَن ذاوإيش
قلت من كركيش
I said who is this and what
I said who is this rag
قال ما كركيش
قلت له والعيش
He said no rag
I said to him, by my livelihood
خذ جوابات لك
م مناديّه
Take answers for you
M from the caller
واضحة لا ألغاز
لا ولا أحجيّه
Clear, no riddles
No, and no puzzles
تبقى يا عرّه
من مرض بعره
You remain, O penis
Of one afflicted by penis illness
لك عروق خضره
مع عيون صفره
For you green veins
With yellow eyes
في بياض ما فيه
قط نوريّه
In the whiteness that has no
Pure light
كُن عينيك بيض
وسط فوليه
Be your eyes white
In the middle fava beans
العروق تقلع
كلما تطلع
The veins are uprooted
Whenever they come out
والعيون فقع
لا تزال تفقع
And the eyes gouge
They do not cease to gouge
يا غلس ما فيه
قط زهريه
O you deceitful one, in you is no
Flowering
هكذا الكركيش
مت بقهريّه
Thus is the rag
Who died frustrated
أنت زاد نحسك
مرض في نفسك
You increased your bad luck
A sickness in yourself
لا وما بسّك
قم هات فلسك
No, and did not stop you
Get up, bring your penny
حتى أعطيك شي
غلظ رجليّه
So I can give you something
Hard, of a man
أو تقول توبه
من مشايشيه
Or you say repentance
From vile traits
صار هو حوبه
ما يصيب صوبه
He became loveable
Does not hit the mark
جا وقال توبه
قلت ذي النوبه
He came and said repentance
I said this is the time
أمدحك قام لي
قبل إيديّه
I praise you, he kissed
My hands
أي وجت صلحه
بالملوكيّه
Yes, and came the conciliation
In the royal manner
قلت له ما أحلاك
صوّرك مولاك
I said to him, how beautiful you are
Your Lord pictured you
الجمال ولاّك
في قليب لولاك
The beauty is yours
In my heart, if not for you
لم تكن أسمار
قط محكيّه
You would not be the dark ones
Ever mentioned
في أهواك وأخبار
عنه مرويّه
In love and tales
About it narrated
لك طريف مذبول
لك جفَين مسبول
You have a languid eyelash
You have swollen eyelids
لك شُكَيل مقبول
بالدلال مشمول
You have an acceptable form
Embraced by coquetry
لك خدود تسبي
حمر ورديّه
You have cheeks that captivate
Red and rosy
لك سوالف سود
سود مسكيّه
You have black tresses
Black musky
الطُّرَيف وسنان
والجُفَين كسلان
The eyelash and the teeth
And the eyelids like laziness
والشُّكَيل ريّان
والدلال فتّان
And the form pleasant
And the coquetry tempting
والخدود نيران
فوق مائيه
And the cheeks fires
Above water
والسوالف من
فوقها حيّه
And the tresses from
Above it alive
أنا يا سيدي
يوم لقاك عيدي
I, my master
The day I met you, my feast
إن حصل في إيدي
نلت مقصودي
If it comes into my hand
I attain my purpose
غير هواك يا سيد
ليس لي غيّه
Other than your love, my master
I have no other
يا سرور قلبي
أي وعينيه
O joy of my heart
Yes, and my eyes
يا منى روحي
زاد تبريحي
O wish of my soul
Increased my comfort
جد بترويحي
طال مشروحي
Come, with my relaxation
Prolonged my expansion
مهجتي أمست
فيك مسبيّه
My mind has become
In you captive
في لظى الأحزان
منك مكويّه
In the flames of sorrows
By you ironed
قال لي إرزَن
قم بنا المخزن
He said to me, let's build
The treasury
والذُّهَيب أوزن
يذهب المحزن
And weigh the gold
To take away the sorrowful one
هات وخذ مني
كل مرضيّه
Bring and take from me
Every agreeable thing
دون شي الحاجات
غير مقضيه
Other than the needs
Unfulfilled
صرت له أترقرق
وادعو واتملّق
I became for him fawning
And praying and flattering
ما رأيته رقّ
عدت اتمقرق
I did not see him gentle
I went back to wheedling
ألتقيه معجون
في العلوقيّه
I meet him mixed up
In the sticky
ما تجي في إيده
بالقروميّه
There does not come into his hand
With the charitable
قلت له أسلفني
وأنت تعرفني
I said to him, lend me
And you know me
قال يصرفني
بس تقرفني
He said, it preoccupies me
Except you disgust me
جيتني نيّاك
في بلوهيّه
You came to me, humped me
In my confusion
ما معك شي روح
يا طنين هيه
You have nothing, go
You echo eh
حين كسر قلبي
تبت يا صحبي
When he broke my heart
I repented, O my friend
وارتجيت ربي
يمحو لي ذنبي
And I hoped in my Lord
To erase my sin for me
هو كريم موصوف
بالربوبيّه
He is generous, described
With divinity
جابر المكسور
مصلح النيّه
Mender of the broken
Reformer of intention
لم يزل توّاب
يرتضي مَن تاب
He did not cease to be accepting
Pleased with whoever repents
مَن أتى له باب
وارتجاه ما خاب
Whoever came to His door
And hoped in Him did not fail
له نعَم تُنشَر
غير مطويّه
For Him blessings spread
Not folded
وابن سودون قال
ذي الجزيليّه
And Ibn Soud said
Of great generosity
