الكَأسُ تُهْدِي إلى شُرَّابِها فَرَحَاً

فَمَا لِهَذَا الفَتَى صِفْرَاً مِنَ الفَرَحِ

The cup gives joy to the one who drinks from it

Yet this young man is devoid of any joy

يَصْفَرُّ إنْ صَبَّ سَاقِيهِ لَنَا قَدَحاً

كَأنَّما دَمُهُ يَنْصَبُّ فِي القَدَحِ

He turns pale when the cupbearer pours us a drink

As though it were his blood pouring into the cup
