1. قد أَحْدَقَ الوردُ بالشقيق

    خلالَ بستانِكَ الأنيقِ

    Indeed, the roses have encircled the anemone

    within your lovely garden,

  2. كأنه حَوْلَهُ وجوهٌ

    مستشرفاتٌ إلى حريق

    as though they were faces around it,

    gazing intently toward a fire.

  3. فاشربْ على الشقيقِ كأساً

    تشربْ عقيقاً على عقيق

    So drink a cup beside the anemone:

    you will drink agate beside agate.
