وباتوا عاكفين على الملاح
I say to a company who masturbated and practiced sodomy,
I say to a group that endured and persevered
And spent the night devoted to the beautiful ones:
And spent the night persevering in sailing
لأنتمindeed you are خيرُthe best منof those who ركبَrode المطاياthe mounts
لأنتم خيرُ من ركبَ المطايا
وأندَىand the moistest (also: most generous) العالمينَof all mankind بطونَthe inner surfaces of راحpalms
وأندَى العالمينَ بطونَ راح
You are indeed the best of those who rode mounts,
You are better than those who rode the horses
And have the moistest palms of all mankind.
And more generous than the two worlds in relaxation
