1. By God, O you who resemble wine
In color, and O brighter than the full moon
١. بالله يا مشبِهةَ الخمرِ
لوناً ويا أضوأَ من بدرِ
2. Return my heart some of what
Your eyes have made it drink of magic
٢. رُدِّي فؤادي حَسْبُه بعضُ ما
سقَتْه عيناكِ من السحر
3. I have protected you from my gaze, O you who has become
So delicate you seem to flow
٣. صُنْتُكِ عن لحظِيَ يا من غدت
تكاد من رقَّتها تجري
4. Is this pure gem your necklace, or
Your mouth arranged on a string of pearls?
٤. عِقدك هذا الجوهر المحض أم
ثغرك نَظَّمِت على النحر
