1. The suitor of trysts with revelry and jest
Full of whimsy and bravado does attest
١. وَمُعتَلِّ المَواعِدِ ذي مِكاسِ
مَليٍّ بِالتَأَبّي وَالشِماسِ
2. To a cowardly heart lost in love's sweet throes
Torn between hope and despair which way it goes
٢. يُنادي في الهَوى قَلباً جَباناً
تَرَجَّحَ بَينَ أَطماعٍ وَياسِ
3. His face, a garden of beauty we're allowed
To let our eyes wander without being cowed
٣. لَنا في وَجهِهِ بُستانُ حُسنٍ
مُباحٍ لِلعُيونِ بَلا مِساسِ
4. He poured me from his hand a draught so pure
As his lids weighed down with sleep insecure
٤. سَقاني الراحَ مِن يَدِهِ هَجيراً
وَفي أَجفانِهِ مَرُّ النِعاسِ
5. To his right, a maiden with a pitcher leans
To his left, another offers wine it seems
٥. وَيُسراهُ مُقَرطَقَةٌ بِكوزٍ
وَيُمناهُ مُتَوَّجَةٌ بِكاسِ
