وَمُترَعَةٍ كَأَنَّ الوَردَ فيها

كَواكِبُ لَيلَةٍ فَقَدَت غَماما

And a brimming cup, as though the roses within it

And a meadow, as though roses therein

Were stars of a night that had lost its clouds.

Are stars on a night that has lost its clouds.

سَقَيتُ بِها عُمارَةَ أَو سَقاني

سَقَيتُ بِها عُمارَةَ أَو سَقاني

إِذا ما الجِبسُ عَن ضَيفَيهِ ناما

إِذا ما الجِبسُ عَن ضَيفَيهِ ناما

I gave ʿUmārah drink from it—or he gave me drink—

With it I watered a settlement, or it watered me,

When the churl slept, heedless of his two guests.

When the plaster from my two arms fell asleep.
