1. أَجرِ المُدامَ على نُجْحِ المَواعيدِ

    وَجُدْ عليَّ برَيَّا النَّحْرِ والجِيدِ

    Let the wine flow for promises fulfilled,

    And lavish on me the fragrance of breast and neck.

  2. فقد تَنَبَّهَ من إغفائِه زَهَرٌ

    كأنَ رَيَّاهُ رَيَّا المِسكِ والعُودِ

    For blossoms have awakened from their slumber,

    As though their fragrance were that of musk and agarwood.

  3. وشَرَّدَ الصُّبحُ عنَّا الَّليلَ فاتَّضَحَتْ

    سُطورُهُ البيضُ في راياتِهِ السُّودِ

    And dawn drove night away from us, revealing

    Its white lines amid its black banners.

  4. ولاحَ للعينِ نارَنْجٌ كما اختَضبَتْ

    بالزَّعفرانِ ثُدِيُّ النُّهَّدِ الغِيدِ

    And bitter oranges gleamed before the eye, like

    The saffron-dyed breasts of graceful, full-bosomed women.
