وَأَغيَدَ مَعسولِ اللَمى وَالمَراشِفِ

صَقيلِ المُحَلّى وَالحِلى وَالسَوالِفِ

He brought honey-sweet wine and pillows

Polished swords and jewelry and tales.

أَنَختُ بِهِ وَالبَرقُ يَهفو جَناحَهُ

وَلِلدَيمَةِ الهَطلاءِ حَنَّةُ عاطِفِ

I drank it as lightning furled its wings,

And a tender rain fell for the thirsty ground.

فَنادَمتُ حُلوَ البِرِ وَاللَفظِ وَاللِمى

جَميلَ المُحَيّا وَالحِلى وَالعَوارِفِ

So I conversed with one gentle of speech, face, and manners,

Beautiful, adorned with jewels and courtesies.
