اِشرَب عَلى زَهرِ البَنَفسَجِ قَهوَةً

تُهدي السُرورَ إِلى الحَزينِ المُكمَدِ

Drink coffee on violet's blossom

It gives joy to the depressed lad

فَكَأَنَّهُ قَرصٌ بِخَدِّ مُهَفهَفٍ

أَو أَعيُنٌ زُرقٌ كُحِلنَ بِإِثمِدِ

As if it were a cheek of fluttering eyelid

Or blue eyes lined with kohl of Ethmud
