1. لكَ عاذِلٌ بثَقيلِهِ وخَفيفِه

    بيْنَ النِّدامِ غَبوقُهُ وصَبوحُهُ

    You have a reproacher, with his heavy and his light sides;

    Among drinking companions are his evening and morning draughts.

  2. أمّا الخَفيفُ فكَفُّهُ ودِماغُهُ

    أمّا الثّقيلُ فقَوْلُهُ أو رُوحُهُ

    As for what is light: his hand and his brain;

    As for what is heavy: his speech or his soul.
