I said to the drinking companions when
I said to the remorseful ones when
they tore the mantle of the dark nights:
They shredded the silk brocade
قتلتناit killed us الراحthe wine صرفاunmixed
قتلتنا الراح صرفا
فاقتلوهاso kill it بالمزاجby dilution
فاقتلوها بالمزاج
“Unmixed wine has slain us;
The breeze killed us out of whim
so slay it by dilution.”
So kill it with daggers
