1. وبِكْرٍ شَرِبناها على الوَرْدِ بُكرةً

    فكانتْ لنا وِرْداً إلى ضحوةِ الغَدِ

    And we drank virgin wine among the roses early in the morning;

    So it was our drink until midmorning the next day.

  2. إذا قامَ مُبَيضُّ اللِّباسِ يُديُرها

    توهَّمْتَه يَسعى بكُمٍّ مُوَرَّدِ

    When the white-clad man rose to pass it round,

    You imagined him hurrying with a rose-colored sleeve.
