1. أَعنِّي عَلى صَرفِ النَّوى لَيسَ لي بها

    غَداً يا وَليَّ المُؤمِنينَ يَدَانٍ

    Help me spend the night, for I have no means

    Tomorrow, O leader of the faithful, with both hands

  2. إذا قَرَّبُوا للبين كُلًّ مُدَيَّثٍ

    مُعَاوِدَ حَرِّ الرَّقمِ والخَضَعَان

    When they offer aged, pure wine

    Repeatedly scorching hot and most submissive

  3. مُعَنَّى كَرُكنِ الطَّودِ قَد زاحَ نَيَّهُ

    زَمَانانِ مَرّا أَعشبا خَصِبانِ

    The meaning of which is the bending of the lofty mountain, its prowess gone

    Times, bitter and fertile, have passed
