1. And a goblet whose radiance clothes the glass
Like threads of gold when spin it has been cast
١. وَمُدامَةٍ يَكسو الزُجاجَ شُعاعُها
كَالخَيطِ مِن ذَهَبٍ إِذا ما سُلَّتِ
2. Sequestered, seeing naught but its own class,
So from its decoration it falls fast.
٢. حُبِسَت وَلَم تَرَ غَيرَها في دَنِّها
فَتَقَصَّرَت مِن نَقشِها وَتَخَلَّتِ
3. One deep in revelry has urged me on
To silent fasts of blaming and contest.
٣. قَد حَثَّني بِكُؤوسِها ذو غُنَّةٍ
صامَت لَهُ صَومَ المَلامِ وَصَلَّتِ
