1. And a cup of conviviality that wishes have fulfilled,
So the soul has spent the night being its bride.
١. وَكَأسِ أُنسٍ قَد جَلَتها المُنى
فَباتَتِ النَفسُ بِها مُعرِسَه
2. A tame black lion has circled it,
Disturbing whoever toys with it in his sitting place.
٢. طافَ بِها أَسوَدُ مُحدَودِبٌ
يُطرِبُ مَن يَلهو بِهِ مَجلِسَه
3. So I left it because of a splendid magnificence,
That has grown narcissus flowers from gold.
٣. فَخِلتُهُ مِن سَبَجٍ رَبوَةً
قَد أَنبَتَت مِن ذَهَبٍ نَرجِسَه
