1. سَقاني مِن يَدَيهِ وَمُقلَتَيهِ

    مِنَ الراحِ المُعَتَّقِ شَربَتَينِ

    He gave me drink from his hands and his eyes:

    Two draughts of aged wine.

  2. فَبِتُّ مُرَنَّحاً مِن شَربَتَيهِ

    ضَريعاً قَد مُنيتُ بِكَربَتَينِ

    So I spent the night reeling from his two draughts,

    Prostrate, afflicted with two torments.

  3. هِلالٌ مُشرِقٌ بَدرٌ لِتِسعٍ

    وَثالِثَةٍ مَضَت بَعدَ اِثنَتَينِ

    A radiant crescent, a full moon of nine years,

    And a third year gone by after two more.

  4. يُديرُ مِنَ المُدامَةِ بِنتَ سَبعٍ

    وَواحِدَةٍ مَضَت بَعدَ اِثنَتَينِ

    He passes round wine, a daughter of seven years,

    And one more year gone by after two.

  5. أَقولُ لَهُ وَقَد طَرَدَت كَرانا

    أَدِرها وَاِسقِنا بِالراحَتَينِ

    I say to him, now that it has banished our drowsiness:

    Pass it round, and give us drink with both palms.
