1. يَقُولُونَ تُبْ وَالكَأسُ فِي كَفِّ أَغْيَدٍ

    وَصَوْتُ المَثَانِي والمَثَالِثِ عَالِي

    They say, “Repent,” while the cup is in a graceful youth’s hand,

    and the second and third strings ring out loud.

  2. فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ لَوْ كُنْتُ أَضْمَرْتُ تَوْبَةً

    وَعَايَنْتُ هَذَا كُلَّهُ لَبَدَا لِي

    So I told them, “Had I inwardly resolved to repent,

    and seen all this, I would have changed my mind.”
