1. Arise, my boon companion, for the birds do warble
For wine cups that do spark and kindle
١. قُمْ بنا يا نديمُ فالطيرُ غرّدْ
لمِدُامٍ كؤوسُه تتوقَدْ
2. For we have a clove blossom that did mature
On the hill of victory its scent did waft and mingle
٢. فلدينا قرنفلٌ قد نماهُ
جَبَلُ الفتح نَشْرهُ قد تصَعّدْ
3. Amongst a market of slender necks most gentle
Weighed down by jeweled necklaces of bright burgundy
٣. بين سوقٍ عُوجِ الرقاب لِطافٍ
أَثْقَلَتْها أهلّةٌ من زبرجدْ
4. And rosy cheeks blushed over
With soft hairs that do curl tenderly
٤. وخدود مضرّجاتٍ عليها
شعراتٌ من لينها تتجعدْ
