على الدهْرِ مِنْ أيامِ قيْصَر لَمْ تفضِ
And nothing remains of it but the hue of its clarity.
And naught remains save the hue of its purity
Through the ages, since Caesar’s days, it has never been broached.
Through ages of Caesar, no virtue it missed.

So if the pearls of its bubbles swirl in the cups,
If pearl in the goblets its splendor I see
I marvel at it—a substance lodged in an accident.
I marvel that jewel in ore such exists.
