وَقَهوَةٍ عُنِّقَت فَنالَت

أَوفَرَ حَظٍّ مِنَ الصَفاءِ

Coffee embraced in a jug

Obtained the greatest share of clarity

كَأَنَّها صِبغُ لَونِ خَدٍّ

وَرَدَّهُ بَقَّمَ الحَياءِ

As if it were the dye of a cheek’s color

And its modesty added roses to it

إِذا تَبَدَّت شَمَمتُ مِنها

شَبيهَةَ المِسكِ في الزَكاءِ

When it appeared, I smelled from it

A scent like musk in refinement
