1. علَيَّ بِها لاكَنارِ الخَليلِ

    فبَردُ المُدامِ يَزيدُ الفُتورا

    Bring it to me—not like Abraham’s fire,

    for the coldness of wine increases languor,

  2. ولكِن كَنارِ الشَّبابِ الّتي

    تُحَيِّ النُّفوسَ وتُحْيي السُّرورا

    but like the fire of youth, which

    greets souls and revives joy.

  3. إذا شرِبَ المَرءُ مِنها ثلاثاً

    رأى النّارَ مِن فَوقِ خَدَّيْهِ نُورا

    When a man drinks three cups of it,

    he sees the fire above his cheeks as light.
