1. مصارع أقوامٍ توالت عليهم

    كؤوس هوى ممزوجة بفراق

    The deaths of people upon whom came in succession

    cups of passion mingled with parting.

  2. فمالوا سكارى ما لهم من إفاقةٍ

    إلى حين شملٍ جامع وتلاقي

    So they swayed, drunken, with no return to their senses

    until the hour of a uniting gathering and reunion.

  3. رثى لهم مما لقوا عاشق أبت

    تجف له بعد الفراق مآقي

    A lover pitied them for what they suffered; his eyes refused

    to dry after parting.
