ونطاق الهوى عليها يناط
Flowing robes of affection drape over it,
The love expressed upon it multiplies,
And passion’s girdle is fastened upon them.
And the necklace of passion upon it is clasped.

Without the veil of tedium being lifted from them.
But the veil of boredom from it is undone.

It is to listeners the intoxication of wine
And my words understate, rather than exaggerate.
And my words of moderation not excess.

The written letters are goblets, and the meanings
The letters are cups and the meanings
The purest wine; the dots are its bubbles.
The purest spirit, bubbles of joy.
