ومهفهفٍ قلق الوشاحِ يروعُهُ

جَرسُ السّوار ويشتكي من ضيقهِ

The tinkling of her bracelet troubles the sleepless lover,

Complaining of its narrowness.

وسنان خطَّ المسكُ فوق عِذراهِ

لاماً فهمتُ الموتَ في تعريقهِ

The smiling dimple shows white above the soft cheek,

Blaming him, I learned of death in its moisture.

مزجَ المدامَ بريقهِ لما سقى

فسكرتُ من فَمِهِ ومن إبريقه

He mixed the wine in his cup when he gave drink,

I was intoxicated by his mouth and by his jug.
