لَم يكن لي مِن المُدامِ نَصيبُ

بَيدَ أنِّي وَحَقِكُم سَكرَانُ

I had no share of wine

Yet, by your life, I'm drunk

لَذَّتِي غَايتِي مُناىَ اجتمَاعٌ

بِمكَانٍ يؤُمُّه الإِخوَانُ

My pleasure, my goal is a gathering

In a place filled with brethren

وعَزيزِي مُحَمَّدٌ عَن يَمِينِي

لَهُ مِنِّي حُبٌّ ومنهُ حنَانُ

My dear Mohammad is on my right

I have love for him and he has affection

وَأَمَامِي الشيخُ الإِمامُ تصدَّى

لِنكَاتٍ يَفيضُ منها بيَانُ

Before me is the Sheikh, the Imam, who takes

Subtleties that overflow with eloquence
