1. شنَّفْت بِالخمراء سمعي فَاغتدى

    يهوى سماع مقالَة الحمراءِ

    I have intoxicated my hearing with wine

    And taken to loving the prattle of the ruby liquid

  2. فَانْعِمْ بِهَا كَيْمَا أمَتِّعَ نَاظِرِي

    بِطُلُوعِ شَمْسٍ فِي سَمَاءِ إنَاءِ

    So keep pouring, that I may delight my onlookers

    With the rising of a sun in the firmament of a vessel

  3. رَاحٌ أرَادَ الْمَاءُ يُطْفِي شَمْسَهَا

    فَتَضَرَّمَتْ نيرَانُهَا بِالْمَاءِ

    The wind wished the water to extinguish its sun

    So its fires hissed at the water

  4. عِنَبِيَّةٌ ذَهَبِيَّةٌ لَهَبِيَّةٌ

    فِي الكَرْمِ في الكَاسَاتِ فِي الأحْشَاءِ

    A golden cluster, flaming, in the vines, in the goblets, in my belly
