Fire and light blended in the chalice,

نار ونور في الكأس مؤتلف

1. Fire and light blended in the chalice,
The gentleness of water and the tenderness of grapes.

١. نارٌ ونُورٌ في الكأْسِ مُؤْتَلِفٌ
رِقّةُ ماءٍ ورِقّةُ العِنَبِ

2. The blending has molded its image,
Like wavering pearls over gold.

٢. شَجَّ قِراعُ المِزَاجِ صُورَتَها
كَلُؤْلُؤٍ جائلٍ على ذَهَبِ

3. At times spreading like an outstretched carpet,
Flowing from its rim following its outpour.

٣. طوراً وطوراً كَنَسْجِ سابِغَةٍ
مُنْسَكِبِ الشّخْصِ إِثْرَ مُنْسَكِبِ

4. At times connected like lines,
Along the margins of books.

٤. وتارةً كالسُّطُورِ مُتّصِلاً
في جَوانبِ الكُتُبِ

5. It shows all this and that and that,
As if its chalice is the father of wonders.

٥. هذا وهذا وذاكَ تُظْهِرُهُ
كأنّما كَأْسُها أبو العَجَبِ
