1. إِذا ما شَرِبتُ الخَمرَ صِرفاً مُهَنَّأً

    شَرِبنا الَّذي مِن مِثلِهِ شَرِبَ الكَرمُ

    If I drink wine, unmixed and pleasantly enjoyed,

    we drink that whose like the grapevine has drunk.

  2. أَلا حَبَّذا قَومٌ نَداماهُمُ القَنا

    يُسَقّونَها رَيّاً وَساقيهِمُ العَزمُ

    Ah, how fine are people whose drinking companions are spears!

    They give them drink to satiety, and resolve is their cupbearer.
