May rain bless life in the sanctuary, when we spent
We lived off bread of passion when
A time there in accord with our desire.
We spent an era as we wished,

ألذ من التشفي بالأعادي
We, dear friends, shared wine there,
With it we entertained dear friends,
More delightful than the satisfaction of revenge upon enemies.
Sweeter than gloating over foes.
