سعير خمار الكأس عند التهابه
And a cup of jullab—its coolness quenched
A goblet of snow to extinguish
the blaze of the wine-cup's hangover as it flared;
the wine’s intoxication when inflamed

وعود وصال الحب بعد ذهابه
and it was like the coolness of justice when sought,
Was like justice to those seeking it
and the return of love's union after its departure.
And the promise of love reunited after absence
