جَلَوتَ لنا قشرا من الصبح مترعاً

من الشمس يَعشَى دونها المتوسّمُ

You revealed to us a shell of the dawn drinking

From the sun which sets behind it the expectant one

فأعُينُنا سكرى لفرط شعاعه

وشارِبُها من شدة السُّكر مُفحَمُ

So our eyes were drunk from the excess of its rays

And its drinker from the intensity of drunkenness is darkened
