1. O he whom God has quenched with cupbearer's toil, he toils on, cupbearing,
What his signs have related to us is an ancient page
١. يَا سَقَى اللَّهُ شَادِناً باتَ يَسْقِي
ما حَكاه لَمَاهُ صِرفاً عَتِيقا
2. He has dreaded and hesitated before the kindling of his years,
Will he pour soothing wine or searing fire?
٢. هَابَ وَارْتابَ لاتِّقادِ سَنَاه
أَرَحيقاً يَصُبُّهُ أَمْ حَرِيقا
