تَرَى النَّدامَى حَوْلَ حِيطَانِها

تَرَى النَّدامَى حَوْلَ حِيطَانِها

صَرْعَى وَمَا ذَاقُوا وَلا قَطْرَه

صَرْعَى وَمَا ذَاقُوا وَلا قَطْرَه

You see the drinking companions around its walls,

The repentant are strewn around its walls,

struck down, though they have not tasted even a drop.

Slain without having tasted a single drop.

وَمُرَّةً مِن طُولِ مَا عُمِرِّتْ

وَمُرَّةً مِن طُولِ مَا عُمِرِّتْ

كُنِّيَ إبْلِيسُ أَبَا مُرَّه

كُنِّيَ إبْلِيسُ أَبَا مُرَّه

And so long has this bitter wine aged

Once, after its long existence,

that Iblis was given the byname Abu Murrah.

Iblis was called Father of Bitterness.
