1. لا وانصباب مدامةٍ مشمولةٍ

    كدمِ الذبيحِ يصبُّ في خرداذي

    No—by the pouring of wine chilled by the north wind,

    like the blood of the slain, poured into a Khurdādhi goblet,

  2. في بطنِ جوهرةٍ كأن فِرِنْدها

    ماءٌ يذوَّب فيه فصُّ بجاذي

    in the belly of a jewel, as though its lustre were

    water in which a garnet gem is dissolved.
