1. وساقٍ سَقاني في أرقِّ زُجاجةٍ

    مورّدةً من نُورها النارُ تُقْتَبسْ

    And a cupbearer gave me, in the thinnest glass,

    rose-hued wine, from whose radiance fire is kindled—

  2. كما اسْتعبرَ المعشوقُ وهو مصعّدٌ

    لأنفاسِهِ والدَّمعُ في خدِّهِ احتْبس

    as when the beloved wept, heaving up

    his sighs, while tears stood still upon his cheek.

  3. فذوَّب لونَ الخدِّ تَسعيرةُ الحَشا

    وأجمدَ ذَوبَ الدمعِ تصعيدةُ النّفَسْ

    The heart’s blaze melted the color of his cheek,

    and a rising sigh congealed the molten tears.
