اِشرَب عَلى حُسنِ الثُرَيّا قَهوَةً

أَحلى وَأَطيَبَ مِن تَلَطُّفِ مُعرِضِ

Drink coffee to the beauty of the Pleiades

Sweeter and more pleasant than the coquetry of one who turns away

فَكَأَنَّها لَمّا تَبَدَّت في الدُجى

شَمّامَةٌ مِن ياسَمينٍ أَبيَضِ

As if when she appeared in the darkness

A white jasmine bouquet
