1. أَرَى عِنَبَ البُسْتانِ قَدْ آنَ أَكلُهُ

    وَأَصْبَحَ أَحْلَى مَا يُذاقُ وَأَطْيبَا

    I see the garden’s grapes—the time to eat them has come,

    and they have become the sweetest, most delicious thing one can taste.

  2. وَقَدْ لَبِسَتْ أَوْراقُهُ الخُضْرُ صُفْرَةً

    يَصُوغُ لَكَ العُنْقُودُ دُرّاً مُذَهَّبَا

    Their green leaves have now donned yellow,

    while the cluster fashions for you pearls gilded with gold.

  3. وَلي مِنكَ رَسْمٌ عِنْدَ إدْراكِ قَطْفهِ

    لَنا مَأْكلاً مَالَمْ تُبِحْ مِنهُ مَشْرَباً

    And I have a customary due from you when they ripen for picking:

    something for us to eat—unless you permit a drink from them.

  4. وَقَدْ رَضَعَ العُصْفُورُ مِنهُ ثَدِيَّهُ

    وَمَا الكَرْمُ لِلعُصْفُورِ أُمّاً ولا أَبَا

    The sparrow has already suckled from it at both its breasts,

    though the vine is neither the sparrow’s mother nor its father.

  5. وإنْ زَادَ عَن هذا تَربّبْتُ حَبَّهُ

    وَعَبْدُكَ لا يَخْتارُ شَيْئاً مُزَبَّبَا

    And if it goes beyond this, I shall play the master over its berries;

    and your servant chooses nothing once it has been made into raisins.
