1. ودوحة أُنسٍ أصبحت ثمراتُها

    أغاريدَ تجنيها ندامى وجلاسُ

    And a spreading tree of fellowship, whose fruits became

    songs gathered by drinking companions and fellow sitters.

  2. تغنَّى عليها الطيرُ وهي رطيبةٌ

    فلما عَسَت غنَّى على عودِها الناسُ

    The birds sang upon it while it was fresh and green;

    then, when it dried and hardened, people sang to its lute.
