LessonsṬarafah: Tribal Gatherings, Song, Extravagance, and Isolation (Verses 47–54)Quiz

وَمَا زَالَ تِشْرَابِي الْخُمُورَ وَلَذَّتِي
وَبَيْعِي وَإِنْفَاقِي طَرِيفِي وَمُتْلَدِي
Meaning: My drinking, pleasures, selling, and spending both recently acquired and inherited wealth continued without pause.

Wa-mā zāla signals persistence. Tishrābī al-khumūr expresses habitual or repeated wine drinking, while bayʿī wa-infāqī concerns disposing of money and spending it. Ṭarīfī is new wealth and mutladī older or inherited property. The inclusion of both new and inherited wealth makes the scale of his spending explicit and prepares for the ensuing tribal estrangement.
