1. ومُدامةٍ لا يبتغي من رَبِّهِ

    أَحَدٌ حَباهُ بها لديه مزيدا

    And a wine—no one seeks from his Lord

    any further bounty once He has blessed him with it.

  2. في كأسها صُوَرٌ تُظَنُّ لحسنها

    عُرُباً برزنَ من الجنانِ وغيدا

    In its cup are figures thought, for their beauty,

    to be loving, graceful women come forth from Paradise.

  3. وإذا المزاج أثارها فتقسَّمَت

    ذَهَباً ودُرّاً تَوأماً وفريدا

    And when the mixing water stirs it, it divides

    into gold and pearls, paired and single.

  4. فكأنَّهُنَّ لَبِسنَ ذاكَ مجاسداً

    وجَعَلنَ ذا لنحورهِنَّ عقودا

    As though they had donned that as tunics

    and made this into necklaces for their throats.
