Claude 2

  1. ايّها الساقي ومن خمر اللمى

    نشوتي فآذهبْ ببنت العنَبِ

    O cupbearer and the wine of union

    My ecstasy, so take the grapes' daughter

  2. أين هذا الخمر من ذاك الرضاب

    وهو عذب للمعنىّ وعَذاب

    Where is this wine from that striking?

    Sweet to the meaning and torment

  3. فآسقنيها من ثناياها العَذاب

    وآطفِ فيها من فؤادي الضرما

    So serve it to me from its tormenting folds

    And tenderness in it from my inflamed heart

  4. واقض هذا اليوم فيها أرَبي

    قد فديتُ الغيد لماَّ ان بدتْ

    And fulfill this day with it four times

    I have ransomed the forearm for when it appeared

  5. ولها الاغصان طوعا سجدت

    وبها الاقمار في الليل آهتدت

    And for it the branches voluntarily bowed

    And by it the moons in the night were guided

  6. مثل ما عادَ نهاري مُظلِما

    من أثيث الجعد يالِلعَجَبِ

    As my day returned dark

    From the furniture of curled hair, oh wonder

  7. تعقد الزنار في حلّ العهود

    مذ ارتهم حسن هاتيك النهود

    Tying the girdle in the solution of covenants

    When the beauty of those breasts stole

  8. ولها الاصنام قد خرْت سجود

    مثل ما فيها عبدتُ الصنَما

    And for it the idols have knelt in prostration

    As I worshipped the idol in it

  9. وهواها اليوم امسى مذهبي

    نسج الحسن لها برد الدلال

    And her love today has become my doctrine

    Beauty has woven for her the mantle of coquetry

  10. فبدتْ تختال في عزّ الجمال

    غار منها الغصن اذ مالتْ فمال

    So she appeared swaggering in the glory of beauty

    The branch was jealous of it when it leaned and leaned

  11. وقلوب الناس أمست حُوَّما

    فوق خدّيها وفيها الأشنَبِ

    And people's hearts have become inflamed

    Above her cheeks, in which is coquetry

  12. مالتِ النفس اليها فلستْ

    مَنْ به للنوم عيناي قَلتْ

    The soul leaned towards it so I have not

    One with which my eyes decreased sleep

  13. وكؤوس الموت فيها قد حلتْ

    وعليه لم ازلْ ابكي دَما

    And the cups of death in it have settled

    And over it I have not ceased crying blood

  14. وهو لاهٍ لم يزل باللعَبِ

    فآسعديني ياابنة الدوح فقدْ

    And it is fascinated, having not ceased playfulness

    So delight me, O daughter of the sand dune, for

  15. قطع الصد لأحشائي وقَدْ

    ولهيبُ الشوق في قلبي إتٌقَدْ

    Separation has cut up my intestines and

    The blaze of passion in my heart kindled

  16. وجفون العين تحكي الدِيَما

    وهي لم تطمع بطفو اللهَبِ

    And the eyelids tell the tears

    While she did not aspire to the flames’ caress

  17. ياحمام الدوح بالله أعدْ

    سجعك اليوم لصبّ وأجد

    O dove of the sand dune, for God repeat

    Your singing today to love and ecstasy

  18. ان تكن مثلي مهجوراً فزدْ

    رّبما يطفي غليلي رّبما

    If you are like me, abandoned, then increase

    Maybe it will extinguish my anguish, maybe

  19. سجعك اليوم بلحن مُطرِبِ

    ياحمام أنَّ في وادي العقيقْ

    Your singing today with a melody that captivates

    O dove, that in the valley of al-‘Uqayq

  20. لا ارى لي غيرك اليوم صديقْ

    فمتى من سكرة الحب تَفيقْ

    I do not see anyone but you today as a friend

    So when will you wake from the drunkenness of love

  21. والى ما فيه تخشى اللُّوَّما

    وتراعي نظرة المرتَقِبِ

    And to what in it you fear blame

    And watch the gaze of the observer

  22. ياحمامٌ لم ترعْه بالفراق

    جيرةٌ تعقد بالهجر النطاق

    O dove, separation did not deter you

    A neighbor who ties estrangement

  23. انت والغصن بضمّ وعناق

    وبأسر الريم اصبحت وَما

    You and the branch in embrace and hug

    And in the fetters of carefulness you became blind

  24. دفعت عني سرايا العَربِ

    You have warded off from me the bedouins' cavalry
