طَرَفٌ قَدَّمَهُ

طَرَفٌ قَدَّمَهُ

دَهرُه إذ سَكِرا

دَهرُه إذ سَكِرا

A fellow raised up

A glimpse offered

by his fortune when it was drunk;

by time intoxicated

إن صحا الدهرُ لهُ

إن صحا الدهرُ لهُ

سترى ما سترا

سترى ما سترا

if fortune sobers up for him,

If time sobers for him

you will see what it concealed.

You'll see what's seen
