1. He turned away and claimed anger
If only he would explain

2. His reproach is pleasure
If only he would reproach

3. To sow between us
Lies and doubts

4. Or unfounded accusations
That breed suspicion

5. For one who slanders
His tears are rainclouds

6. He went to bed weary
His concern is play

7. Vinegar and honey
Are the same to him

8. I tasted his aloofness
Without taking offense

9. I was straitened by him
By messengers and books

10. Whenever he walked
The twigs were abashed

11. Between his eyes
And the moles were ancestry

12. The water of his cheek
Quenched flames

13. Bearer of wine
Drinking it is a duty

14. Bring it full
The goblets overflowing

15. Babylonian
Exhaling the seeds of love

16. Indeed its generosity
Adam plucked grapes

17. It was refined so its
Manners are courtesy

18. Offer it to a youth
The best drinker

19. Whenever arrogance grew
Moderation restrained it

20. Worshipers or
Amazing spectacle

21. Its family is guidance
And sublime glory

22. Overlooking humanity
Filling the horizons

23. His Lord stood
Lifting the veils

24. At His throne
A throne of clouds

25. Below His glory
Follows triumph

26. The nobles among
His distinguished delegates

27. Around a platform
Rightfully sought

28. There the non-Arab and Arab
Are harmonized

29. And the signs of lineage
Among the loins are content

30. Among their kindness
A flock scattered

31. Between a planet
Dragging its tail

32. Near Aldebaran
Of charming moles

33. Near Shedar
Baring its fangs

34. Forbidden roams
Wherever it wanders

35. Attracting the signs
Whenever it jumps

36. In tresses of silk
Like combed wool

37. Below them no
Willpower remains

38. His breast settled
His shoulder quivered

39. His waist swayed
His chest flowed

40. Prohibition ran
His gait ambled

41. Handsome as
Described in books

42. Drawn to
Its likeness

43. It hides him
Wherever he turns

44. A troubadour of
Carefully chosen melodies

45. He gathers the signs
Summons the absent

46. None seduced the moles
Before it enchanted

47. O son of the best father
O father of the outstanding

48. You are the seal
For the villages were created

49. Among his brothers
All that is required

50. No domes stood over
The likes of him

51. He brought down rain
And it never depleted

52. He fed humanity
Never saying barren

53. They have no echo
No lack among them

54. Rise, Abu Nuwas
Behold the sprouts

55. What is fertile, what is
The sea with bubbles

56. Did you know it
Raining gold

57. This is the garden
That flourished

58. Its meadow shaded
The lands

59. Best caller
Best mentor

60. Lord of Egypt, live
And reach old age

61. Your nights
Are still anticipated

62. The likes of its purity
Time never granted

63. Show it to us
Repeatedly

64. Most eloquent poet
He rushed it to

65. The best suitor
In the Persian style

66. Outshining the Arabs
No poet brought

67. The like of it in gold
If you consider it

68. You will hear wonder
But it is only

69. Some of what is owed
