Claude 2

  1. ثوبٌ من الحب أودى بي مشهره

    فالجسم أصفره والدَّمع أحمره

    A garment of love has destroyed me, its sword

    Has turned my body yellow, and my tears red

  2. يا من يغيِّر جسم الصبّ من سقم

    كن كيف شئت فهذا لا يغيّره

    O He who can change the body of the loved one from illness

    Be as you wish, for this does not change it

  3. طوى هواكَ بقلبٍ تلك عادته

    وإنما علميّ المدح ينشره

    Fold your love in a heart, such is its habit

    And my expertise is only to spread praise of it

  4. من لا خلا من نداه البيت نسكنه

    ولا خلا من ثناه البيت نشعره

    Whoever's house is not devoid of his boons,

    And whose house is not devoid of his praises, we reside in it

  5. يا صاحباً لم يُضع قصد الوفود له

    وضاعَ نشر الغوالي حين نذكره

    O companion whom the purpose of delegations was not lost to

    And the spreading of favors was not lost when we mention him

  6. تهنَّ بالعيد إما المرتجى نبدي

    أو الحسود بأنكاد تفطره

    Rejoice in the feast, either we initiate what is hoped for

    Or the envious with animosity try to break it

  7. وأمر بنشرِ سماطٍ منك يجبرنا

    ونحنُ في رسمنا بالأكل نجبره

    And he ordered the spreading of carpets from you that console us

    While we in our principles are compelled to eat it
