Bearing perfume on the palm of a hand

وحاملة راحا على راحة اليد

1. Bearing perfume on the palm of a hand,
Clad in purple hastening with the hue of purple,

١. وحامِلَةٍ راحَاً على راحَةِ اليَدِ
مُوَرَّدةٍ تَسْعَى بِلَوْنٍ مُوَرَّدِ

2. Whenever she sees the wine-ewer bow down to the goblet,
She prays to it without ablution or prostration.

٢. متَى ما تَرَى الإبْريقَ لِلْكأسِ راكِعاً
تُصلِّي لَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ طُهْرٍ وَتَسجُدِ

3. With jasmine like smooth cream and narcissi
Like pendants of pearls on a rod of chrysolite.

٣. على ياسَمينٍ كاللُّجينِ ونَرْجِسٍ
كأَقْراطِ دُرٍّ في قَضيبِ زَبَرْجَدِ

4. With this and that one bless your night completely,
And ask no more of people about the morrow.

٤. بِتلْكَ وهذي فَالهُ لَيْلكَ كُلَّهُ
وعَنْها فَسَلْ لا تَسْألِ النَّاسَ عَنْ غَدِ

5. The days will reveal to you what you were ignorant of,
And those you did not provision will bring you news.

٥. سَتُبدي لكَ الأيّامُ ما كُنتَ جاهِلاً
وَيأتِيك بِالأَخْبَارِ مَنْ لَمْ تُزَوّدِ
