The cluster of curls at my beloved's temple enthralled me.
The cheek's cluster that I adored has left me bereaved
So his saliva said to me, when it saw my lovesickness:
When its saliva saw me, a youth, it said to me
إنif كانthere is فيin الصدغthe temple-lock عُنْقودa grape-cluster فتنتyou were bewitched بهby it
إن كان في الصدغ عُنْقود فتنت به
فإنthen indeed فيin الخمرwine معنًىa quality ليسis not فيin العِنَبِgrapes
فإن في الخمر معنًى ليس في العِنَبِ
If the temple-lock holds a cluster that has bewitched you,
If the cheek has a cluster that enticed you
then wine holds a quality not found in grapes.
Then wine has a meaning not found in grapes
