1. وَرَقيقَةُ الحُجُراتِ با

    دِيَةِ القَذى ذوبَ العَقيقِ

    And a wine, delicate at the edges, with visible

    Motes, like molten carnelian,

  2. في بَردِ كافورَ الرِيا

    حِ وَحَرِّ نائِرَةَ الحَريقِ

    In the coolness of the winds’ camphor

    And the heat of a fire’s blaze;

  3. سلسالَة شرباتُها

    يَفتَحنَ أَفواهَ العُروقِ

    Smooth-flowing, its draughts

    Open the mouths of the veins,

  4. زَقّ الطُيور فِراخها

    لِصَبوحِها أَو لِلغَبوقِ

    As birds feed their chicks,

    For its morning draught or for the evening drink.
