قُلْ وحُثَّ المُدامَ في إِبّانِه

واجْرِ مَعْ من تُحبُّ في ميدانِه

Say this and urge the wine during its prime

And walk with whom you love in its domain

وابتكرْ للصّبوحِ وامدد إلى ال

لَهو يداً والشبابُ في رْيعانِه

And innovate for the dawn and stretch your hand

To pleasure while youth is in its bloom

وارشفِ الراحَ صِرْفَةً واستلمها

من رشاً يستبيك صبغ بنانِه

And sip the wine in sips and take it

From a radiant cheek whose dye stains its splendor

ذي قوامٍ رخْص المعاطِف سه

ل الملتوى عند هصرهِ فينانِه

Of supple waist, light garments, easy flowing

Over limbs so smooth to twist and bend

وشيات تلقَيَتْ بعِذارٍ

فوقَ خدٍّ يفترُّ عن خيلانِه

And lips that mock with coquetry

Above a cheek that reveals its dimples

طبعَتْ في مراة ديباجَتيْه

فِتَناً للخيالِ من أجفانِه

Stamped on the mirror of his brocade

Temptations for the imagination from his eyelids
