وَمُدَامَةٍ صَفْراءَ في قارورَةٍ

وَمُدَامَةٍ صَفْراءَ في قارورَةٍ

زَرْقاءَ تَحْمِلُها يَدٌ بَيْضاءُ

زَرْقاءَ تَحْمِلُها يَدٌ بَيْضاءُ

And golden wine within a flask

And yellow wine in a flask,

A golden liquor in a blue bottle,

of blue, borne by a hand of white:

Blue, borne by a white hand;

Held by a white hand.

فَالرّاحُ شَمْسٌ والحَبَابُ كَوَاكِبٌ

فَالرّاحُ شَمْسٌ والحَبَابُ كَوَاكِبٌ

والكَفُّ قُطْبٌ والإِناءُ سَماءُ

والكَفُّ قُطْبٌ والإِناءُ سَماءُ

the wine is a sun, its bubbles stars;

So the wine is a sun, and the bubbles are stars,

The wind is the sun, bubbles are stars,

the palm a celestial pole, the vessel sky.

And the palm is a pole, and the vessel is a sky.

The palm is the pole, the vessel the sky.
