1. أَطَلتِ عاذِلَتي لَومي وَتَفنيدي

    وَأَنتِ جاهِلَةٌ شَوقي وَتَسهيدي

    My reproacher, you have long blamed and censured me,

    while you know nothing of my longing and sleeplessness.

  2. لا تَشرَبَ الراحَ بَينَ المُسمِعاتِ وَزُر

    ظَبياً غَريراً نَقِيَّ الخَدِّ وَالجيدِ

    Do not drink wine among the singing women; rather, visit

    a guileless gazelle, pure of cheek and neck.

  3. قَد رَنَّحَتهُ شُمولٌ فَهوَ مُنجَدِلٌ

    يَحكي بِوَجنَتِهِ ماءَ العَناقيدِ

    Wine has made him reel, so he lies sprawled,

    his cheek resembling the juice of grape clusters.

  4. قامَ الأَمينُ فَأَغنى الناسَ كُلَّهُمُ

    فَما فَقيرٌ عَلى حالٍ بِمَوجودِ

    Al-Amin arose and enriched all the people,

    so no poor person is to be found at all.
