إذ دعا الندمان طيباً سقِّني

فضلَة الكأس فقد طال العطش

When the penitent called the drink wholesome, pour out for me

The overflowing cup, for thirst has been prolonged

من سُلاف سَلَفت في دنِّها

قبل عاد وهي صِرفٌ لم تغش

From the wine I had yesterday in its sweetness

Before the monk returns and it becomes forbidden

من يدي ساقٍ يُحاكي خدُّهُ

قهوةً فيها حَبابٌ كالنَّمش

From the hand of one whose cheek vies

With the coffee in it bubbles like flecks

خلعَ الياقوتُ ثوباً فوقها

وكساها وشيُه جِلدَ الحَنَش

The ruby took off a garment above it

And clothed it and adorned it with the skin of serpents
