يا غائباً عن مجلسٍ قد شاتمت

ندماه واسْتعلتْ لديهِ الأكؤس

O absent from a gathering where you were blamed

Regretting it, while cups were raised against you,

نبِّئت أنَّ النار بعدك أوقِدت

واستبَّ بعدك يا كليب المجلس

I informed you that after you the fire was lit

And the gathering missed you, O adornment of the assembly.
