من ذا يكونُ مبشّري
بالصبح قد طاب الصبوحْ
Who will bring me glad tidings
of dawn? The morning wine has grown sweet.
وعلى النصيح ملامتي
وعليَّ أن أعصي النصيح
The counselor’s part is to reproach me;
and mine, to disobey the counselor.
فلأطلبنَّ مسرتي
ما دام لي جسدٌ وروح
So I shall surely seek my joy
as long as I have body and soul.
Sol 5.6
