1. صَفَرَاءُ مِنْ فَالُوذَجِ البُرْتُقَالْ

    مَقْدُودَةً فِي الكُوبِ قدِّ الهِلاَلْ

    A yellow serving of orange faludhaj,

    Shaped in the cup like a crescent,

  2. تَرْتَجُّ فِي مَوْضِعِهَا عَنْ دَلاَلْ

    ذَلِكَ قَطْرٌ مِنْ نَدًى حُلِّيَا

    Quivering in its place out of coyness.

    That is a drop of dew made sweet;

  3. حَبَسْتِ فِيهِ مِنْ عصِيِّ الضِّيَا

    مَسْحَةَ شَمْسٍ آذَنَتْ بِالزَّوَالْ

    You imprisoned within it, from untamable light,

    A touch of sun that heralded its setting.

  4. أَلطِّيبُ مِنْ أَلْطَفِ مَا يُسْتَطَابْ

    والشَّكْلُ زَاه كَالعَقِيقِ المُذَابْ

    Its fragrance is among the most exquisite delights,

    And its form is radiant as molten agate,

  5. وَالطَّعْمُ حُلْوٌ فِيهِ سِحْرٌ حَلاَلْ

    فَيَا يَداً تَصْنَعُ هَذَا العجَبْ

    And its taste is sweet, with lawful magic in it.

    So, O hand that makes this marvel—

  6. سُلاَفَةٌ فِي عَنْبِرٍ فِي ضَرَبْ

    سَلِمْتِ لِلذَّوْقِ مَعاً وَالكَمَالْ

    Pure wine in ambergris, in thick white honey—

    May you remain safe for taste and perfection alike!

  7. قَالُوا لَنَا فِي جَنَّةٍ كَوْثَرُ

    لَكِنَّهُمْ فِي وَعْدِهِمْ أَخَّرُوا

    They told us there is Kawthar in Paradise,

    But they have delayed fulfilling their promise;

  8. فَقَدّمِي فَالُوذَجَ البُرْتُقَالُ

    So serve the orange faludhaj!
