1. ألست ترى الظلام وقد تولى

    وعنقود الثريا قد تذلى

    Do you not see that the darkness has departed,

    and the cluster of the Pleiades has hung low?

  2. فدونك قهوة لم يبق منها

    تقادم عهدها إلا الأقلا

    So take this wine, of which nothing has been left

    by its long aging save the scantest portion.

  3. بزلنا دنها والليل داج

    فصيرت الدجا شمسا وظلا

    We tapped its jar while the night was dark,

    and it turned the darkness into sun and shade.
