ألذُّ من رَشْفِ رُضابِ الحُور

ومن رضاعِ دَرَّةِ السَّرورِ

Sweeter than sipping from fountains of the fair,

And suckling at the pearl of joy, I swear,

والبارِدِ الزُّلالِِ للمَخمورِ

رَشْفُ الثَّناءِ من فَمِ الشَّكورِ

Or drinking cool clear wine in great affair,

Are words of praise from lips of those who care.
