1. The apple, when it appeared,
Seemed to revel in its red clothes,
١. كَأَنَّما التُفاحُ لَمّا بَدا
يَرفُلُ في أَثوابِهِ الحُمرِ
2. Containing rosewater in its substance,
In a crystal of solidified wine.
٢. شَهدٌ بِماءِ الوَردِ مُستَودَعٌ
في أُكَرٍ مِن جامِدِ الخَمرِ
3. When we are refreshed by it,
We inhale dew from the wine.
٣. كَأَنَّنا حينَ نُحَيّا بِهِ
نَستَنشِقُ النَدَّ مِنَ الخَمرِ
