عجبت لخمرة البخراء أنى
أقامت مع مؤاجرها زمانا
I am amazed that the wine jug has endured
Staying with its drinkers for so long
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
لحاه الله كيف يدس فيها
لساناً ربما درس القرانا
God have mercy! How can they insert
Tongues that perhaps once recited the Quran?
