أَبيَضٌ جامِدٌ وَأَحمَرٌ جارِ

وَاِخضِرارٌ مُرَندَجٌ بِاِصفِرارِ

White solid and red flowing

And green interwoven with yellow

مِن كُؤوسٍ لَها كَسىً مِن عُقارِ

وَغُصونٍ لَه حُلىً مِن بِهارِ

From cups whose covers are from perfume

And branches whose jewelry is from blossoms

فَدَعاني إِذا كَشَفتُ قِناعي

وَاِترُكاني إِذا خَلَعتُ عِذاري

So it called me when I removed my mask

And left me when I took off my excuse

لَيسَ لِلمَرءِ إِن أَرادَ سُروراً

مِثلُ سِحرِ الصَبوحِ في الأَسحارِ

There is not for a person, if he wants pleasure

Like the magic of dawn during the dark
