1. بَلَغَتْهُ الكَأسُ فَارْتَعَدَتْ

    طَرَبَاً مِنْهَا إِلَى فَمِهِ

    The cup reached him and trembled,

    In its own rapture as it neared his mouth.

  2. مَنَعَتْهُ أَنْ يُؤَخِّرَهَا

    فِي يَدَيْهِ مِنْ تَحَشُّمِهِ

    It kept him from delaying it

    In his hands out of bashfulness.

  3. فَتَحَاشَاهَا وَأَعْقَبَهَا

    أَرَجَاً مِنْ طِيْبٍ مَبْسِمِهِ

    So he avoided it and left it with

    A fragrance from the sweetness of his smiling lips.
