1. بِنتُ الكُرومِ النادِيَه

    مِنها تَغارُ الجارِيَه

    Daughter of the dewy vineyards,

    the maiden is jealous of her.

  2. مِنعَهدِ أَدَمَ في الأَبا

    ريقِ المِلاحِ الناقِيَه

    Since Adam's time, in the ewers,

    beautiful and pure.

  3. لَم تُفنِها الأَيّامُ بَل

    وَكَذا اللَيالي الماضِيَه

    The days have not destroyed her; nay,

    nor, likewise, have the nights gone by.

  4. نُقِلَت بِأَكوابٍ مَحا

    سِنَ في الدَساكِرِ زاهِيَه

    She was carried in beautiful goblets,

    radiant in the country estates.

  5. مَسفوكَةٌ مَسفوحَةٌ

    مِنها الدِماءُ القانِيَه

    Spilled and poured out

    is the deep-crimson blood from her.

  6. مِن غَيرِ حَملِ جَريرَةٍ

    مَذبوحَةٌ في الآنِيَه

    Without bearing any guilt,

    she is slaughtered in the vessels.

  7. هاتِ الصَبوحَ لَعَلَّهُ

    لَم يُبقِ مِنّي باقِيَه

    Bring the morning wine; perhaps it

    has left no remnant of me.

  8. هِيّا اِسقِني في كَعبَةٍ

    بَيتِ الإِلَهِ ثَمانِيَه

    Come, give me drink in a Kaaba—

    the House of God—eight [goblets].

  9. إِنَّ الرِضا كُلَّ الرِضا

    في عَبِّ كَأسٍ هادِيَه

    Indeed, contentment—all contentment—

    lies in quaffing a guiding cup.
