يعيدُ عطايا سكرِهِ عندَ صَحوِهِ

ليُعْلم أنّ الجودَ منه على عِلْمِ

He returns his gifts of generosity upon sobering

So it becomes known that his generosity was done knowingly

ويسلمَ في الإنعام من قول قائلٍ

تكرّم لما خامرتْهُ ابنةُ الكرْمِ

And he is saved from the saying of one who would say

You were generous due to the daughter of generosity overpowering you

فقد حضّهُ سكرُ المدام على النّدى

ولكنّه حضٌّ بريّ من الذمِّ

For the intoxication of wine impelled him to generosity

But it was an innocent impelling, free from blame
