Sol 6.1

  1. يا نديمي بمهجتي أفديك

    قم وهات الكؤس من هاتيك

    O my drinking companion, I would ransom you with my lifeblood.

    Rise, and bring the cups of that

  2. خمرة أن ضللت ساحتها

    فسنانور كأسها يهديك

    wine—if you lose your way in its expanse,

    then the radiance of its cup's light will guide you.

  3. يا كليم الفؤاد دوابها

    قلبك المبتلي لكي تشفيك

    O wounded at heart, treat with it

    your afflicted heart, so that it may heal you.

  4. هي نار الكليم فأجتلها

    وأخلع النعل وأترك التشكيك

    It is Moses' fire; behold it,

    and take off your sandal, and abandon doubt.

  5. صاح ناهيك بالمدام فدم

    في إحتساها مخالفاً ناهيك

    Friend, wine is enough for you; persist

    in sipping it, defying whoever forbids you.

  6. لست أنساه إذ أتى سحرا

    وحده وحده بغير شريك

    I cannot forget his coming before dawn,

    alone, alone, without a partner.

  7. طرق الباب خائفاً وجلا

    قلت من قال كل ما يرضيك

    He knocked at the door, fearful and apprehensive.

    I said, “Who?” He said, “All that pleases you.”

  8. قلت صرح فقال تجهل من

    سيف ألحاظه تحكم فيك

    I said, “Speak plainly.” He said, “Do you not know him

    whose glances' sword has held sway over you?”

  9. قال خذها قد ظفرت بها

    قلت زدني فقال لا وأبيك

    He said, “Take it; you have won it.”

    I said, “Give me more.” He said, “No, by your father.”

  10. ثم وسدته اليمين إلى

    أن دنا الصبح قال لي يكفيك

    Then I made my right hand his pillow, until

    dawn drew near. He said to me, “That is enough for you.”

  11. قلت مهلا فقال قم فلقد

    فاح نشر الصبا وصاح الديك

    I said, “Wait.” He said, “Rise, for already

    the east wind's fragrance has spread, and the rooster has crowed.”
