1. Hasten your cups for they are but stars
That have risen in the horizon of your day, their happiness.
١. بادِرْ كُؤوسَك إنمَا هِي أنجمٌ
قدْ أطلعَتْ في أفُق يوْمِكَ سعْدَها
2. Whenever the lip of the pitcher kisses
The mouth of the chalice, it kisses its cheek.
٢. منْ كَف هَيفاء المَعاطِف كلما
أدْمَت فمَ الإبْريقِ أدْمى خدهَا
