وَقَد شَغَلَت كِلتا يَدَيهِ بِقَهوَةٍ
فَقُلتُ أَرى نَجمَينِ أَم قَدَحَينِ
And both his hands were occupied with wine;
So I said, “Do I see two stars—or two goblets?”
كَأَنَّ خَيالَ الكَأسِ فَوقَ ذِراعِهِ
غِشاءٌ مِنَ العِقيانِ فَوقَ لُجَينِ
As though the goblet’s reflection upon his arm
Were a veil of pure gold laid over silver.
