1. عجبت لخمرة البخراء أنى

    أقامت مع مؤاجرها زمانا

    I am amazed that the wine jug has endured

    Staying with its drinkers for so long

  2. وليس لأيره طولٌ ولكن

    ينيكُ به فيردفه لسانا

    Not that it has any great length

    But that it's caressed by their tongues again and again

  3. لحاه الله كيف يدس فيها

    لساناً ربما درس القرانا

    God have mercy! How can they insert

    Tongues that perhaps once recited the Quran?
