1. حُمتَ بِخَفّاقَة الجَناح وَقَد

    أَمكَنَ وِردٌ فَلا يَطُل حَومُ

    You circled with fluttering wing, though

    a draught is now at hand; let the circling not linger.

  2. وَسُمتَ في الطيب وَالسُرور فَتى

    لَم يُزْرَ يَوما بِطيبه سَومُ

    And for pleasure and joy you sought a young man

    whose goodness no valuation has ever diminished.

  3. وَها هوَ المَجلِس المُعدُّ لَكُم

    فاِدخُل إِلَيهِ وَليَدخُل القَومُ

    And here is the gathering-place prepared for you;

    so enter it, and let the company enter,

  4. إِلى كُؤوسٍ لَو شاءَ شارِبُها

    يَعومُ فيها لأمكَنَ العَومُ

    to cups—if their drinker wished

    to swim in them, swimming would be possible.
