فتى يغير المدح في داره

فتى يغير المدح في داره

على صناديق وأكياس

على صناديق وأكياس

A young man in whose house praise makes raids

A young man rearranges praise in his house

Upon chests and sacks.

On boxes and bags

ذقت ندى راحته مرةً

ذقت ندى راحته مرةً

فطعمه في جوف أضراسي

فطعمه في جوف أضراسي

I tasted the bounty of his palm once;

I tasted the dew of his comfort once

And its taste is deep within my molars.

So its flavor remains between my molars
