رأت مِنه عَيني منظرينِ كما رأت

مِن الشَّمسِ وَالبدرِ المُنيرِ عَلى الأَرضِ

My eyes have seen two sights from him as they've seen

From the radiant sun and moon lighting up the earth

عشيةَ حياني بِوَردٍ كأنَّهُ

خدودٌ أضيفَت بعضهنَّ إلى بعضِ

In the evening he brought me roses that seemed

Like cheeks pressed together against each other

ونازَعني كأساً كأنَّ رُضابها

دُموعي لما صدَّ عَني مُقلتي غُمضي

And he competed with me over a cup that appeared

Like my tears when sleepiness closed my eyelids

وَولَّى وفعلُ السكرِ في حركاتهِ

من الراحِ فعلُ الريحِ بالغصُنِ الغَضِّ

Then he left while the effect of intoxication in his movements

Was like the wind's effect on a delicate branch
