شربنا وجفن الليل يغسل كحله
بماءwith the water of صباحmorning والنسيمand the breeze رفيقgentle
بماء صباح والنسيم رفيق
We drank as night's eyelid washed away its kohl
We drank as the night's kohl was washed away
with morning's water, and the breeze was gentle,
By the water of dawn, and the breeze kept us company
معتقةًaged wine كالتبرlike unworked gold إماas for بخارهاits vapor
معتقةً كالتبر إما بخارها
فضخمthen it is thick وأماand as for جسمهاits body فدقيقthen it is delicate
فضخم وأما جسمها فدقيق
an aged wine like unworked gold; as for its vapor,
Her waist was slender like camphor vapor
it is thick, while its body is delicate.
Yet her body soft and delicate
