أمسى أبو حَسَنٍ كسلانَ وهوَ فتىً

أحَبُّ شيءٍ إلَيهِ الزّبدُ بالعَسلِ

Last night, Abu Hasan turned lazy, though he is a young man.

The honey mixed with fresh cream is what he loves most.

وهل سمِعْتَ بإنسانٍ جنى عَسَلاً

يا سُخْنَةَ العَينِ من كوّارَةِ الكَسَلِ

Have you ever heard of someone reaping honey

O, soothers of the eye, from a meadow of laziness?

ولاُ بُدَّ دونَ الشَّهدِ من إبَرِ النَّحلِ

Without honey, bee stings are a must.
