كَأَنَّ فاها لِمَن تُؤَنِّسُهُ

بَعدَ غُبوبِ الرُقادِ وَالعِلَلِ

Her mouth is like a cup, aged Palestinian wine

Bringing comfort after troubled sleep and sickness' toil

كأسٌ فِلسطيَّةٌ مُعَتَّقَةٌ

شيبَتَ بِماءٍ مِن مُزنَةِ السبلِ

Matured with water drawn from winding roads afar

For one she tries to cheer when day is done, and night is near
