وعنب لفضّة

وعنب لفضّة

يعصر منها ذهب

يعصر منها ذهب

And grapes are silver indeed,

Grapes of silver

And grapes of silver,

from which gold is pressed.

Pressed into gold

From which gold is pressed,

كأنما حبوبه

كأنما حبوبه

لالىء أو حبب

لالىء أو حبب

As though their berries

As if its seeds

As though their berries

were pearls or bubbles:

Were rubies or pearls

Were pearls or bubbles;

السمر منها لعّس

السمر منها لعّس

والبيض منها شنب

والبيض منها شنب

the dusky ones among them are dark-lipped,

The dark ones muscat

The dark ones among them have the hue of dusky lips,

and the white ones among them are pearly-toothed.

The white ones sheneb

And the white ones the luster of gleaming teeth.
