Until I drink what is between the two banks.
اشرب — I drink. A present-tense verb, 'I drink', with the 'I' subject in its prefix, shifted into its subjunctive shape by the preceding 'until'. The altered ending is how a listener knows the drinking is the aim being pursued rather than something already happening. Arabic marks this with the vowel change, where English just keeps 'drink'.
