1. وحاملٍ جسماً من النورِ قد

    صَيَّرَتِ الراحُ له روحاً

    And one bearing a body of light—

    Wine has fashioned a soul for him.

  2. إذا سقانا مَنَحَ الكاسَ من

    صفاتِه ما كان ممنوحاً

    When he gives us drink, he grants the cup, from

    His qualities, what he himself was granted:

  3. من خدّه لوناً ومن ريقه

    طعماً ومن نكهته ريحا

    From his cheek, color, and from his saliva

    Taste, and from his breath, fragrance.
