Sol 6.1

  1. هَجَمَ الشِتاءُ وَنَحنُ بِالبَيداءِ

    وَالقَطرُ بَلَّ الأَرضَ بِالأَنواءِ

    Winter descended while we were in the desert,

    And rain drenched the earth with seasonal showers.

  2. فَاِشرَب عَلى زَهرِ الرِياضِ يَشوبُهُ

    زَهرُ الخُدودِ وَزَهرَةُ الصَهباءِ

    So drink amid the garden blossoms, mingled with

    The bloom of cheeks and the glow of tawny wine—

  3. مِن قَهوَةٍ تُنسي الهُمومَ وَتَبعَثُ ال

    شَوقَ الَّذي قَد ضَلَّ في الأَحشاءِ

    A wine that makes one forget cares and awakens the

    Longing that had gone astray within the breast.

  4. تُخفي الزُجاجَةُ لَونَها وَكَأَنَّها

    في الكَفِّ قائِمَةٌ بِغَيرِ إِناءِ

    The glass conceals its own hue, and the wine seems

    To stand in the palm without a vessel.
