1. وَبيضٌ تَهاوى في مُزَعفَرَةٍ صُفرُ

    وَهَبتُ لَها قَلبي وَأَخدَمتُها فِكري

    And white cups, tinged yellow, tumble in saffron-tinted wine.

    I gave her my heart and put my thought at her service.

  2. فَدارَت بِأَقداحٍ كَأَنَّ فُضولَها

    سَوالِفُ تَبدو مِن مُعَصفَرَةٍ حُمرِ

    Then she went round with goblets whose projecting portions seemed

    Like sides of necks emerging from safflower-dyed red robes.
