1. I called for water in a vessel, and my beloved came to me
With wine in it. I chided him out of zeal,
١. دعوتُ بماءٍ في إناءٍ فجاءَني ال
حبيبُ بهِ خَمْراً فأوْسَعْتُهُ زَجْرا
2. But he said, “It is but water, limpid and pure:
My face was mirrored in it, and to you seemed wine.”
٢. فقالَ هو الماءُ القراحُ وإنَّما
تجلَّى لهُ وجهي فأوهمَكَ الخَمْرا
