يا حُسْنَ إِبريقٍ أتاكَ مُعَصْفراً

How lovely the ewer that came to you, safflower-tinted!
O beauty of a golden jug, ornamented,
Its exterior has betrayed what lies within.
Its surface has grown over the insides,
فكأنهso it is as though ظبيٌa gazelle علىon شَرَفٍa height غداbecame
فكأنه ظبيٌ على شَرَفٍ غدا

يعطو سالفتيْه للإِصغاء
So it is like a gazelle that, upon a height, has begun
As if it were a gazelle on an elevation tomorrow,
to crane its neck to listen closely.
Giving its two forelegs to listening,
أضحىhas become وماءand water الوردof roses فيin جنباتهits sides
أضحى وماء الورد في جنباته
متنفساًbreathing فيinto أوجهthe faces الجلساءof the seated companions
متنفساً في أوجه الجلساء
With rosewater in its sides, it has begun
The rosewater in its sides has become
to breathe upon the faces of the company.
A breath on the faces of the sitters,
فكأنهso it is as though متسبلٌrobed منof دُرَّةٍa pearl
فكأنه متسبلٌ من دُرَّةٍ

So it seems robed in a pearl,
As if it were clad in a white pearl
white, within a red ruby.
In a red ruby.
