1. The cup reached him, causing tremors
From it to his mouth,
١. بَلَغَتْهُ الكَأسُ فَارْتَعَدَتْ
طَرَبَاً مِنْهَا إِلَى فَمِهِ
2. It prevented him from delaying it
In his hands from his bashfulness,
٢. مَنَعَتْهُ أَنْ يُؤَخِّرَهَا
فِي يَدَيْهِ مِنْ تَحَشُّمِهِ
3. So he turned it away and followed it
With fragrant breath from his smile.
٣. فَتَحَاشَاهَا وَأَعْقَبَهَا
أَرَجَاً مِنْ طِيْبٍ مَبْسِمِهِ
