1. يومٌ دعانا إلى حيث الكؤوسِ به

    ثلجٌ سقيطٌ وغيمٌ غيرُ مُنْجاب

    A day on which we were summoned to where the cups were,

    by falling snow and clouds that had not cleared.

  2. وأفرطَ البردُ حتى الشّمسُ ما طلعتْ

    إلاّ مُزمّلةً في فَرْو سِنجابِ

    And the cold grew so fierce that even the sun did not rise

    except wrapped in squirrel fur.
