الخَمرُ تُفّاحٌ جَرى ذائِباً

كَذالِكَ التُفّاحُ خَمرٌ جَمَد

Wine is melting apple

Wine is an apple that has flowed and melted,

Thus apple is frozen wine

Just as the apple is wine that has solidified.

فَاشرَب عَلى جامِدِ ذا ذَوبَ ذا

وَلا تَدَع لَذَّةَ يَومٍ لِغَد

Drink from melting frozen one

So drink the melt of this upon the solid of that,

Do not leave one day’s joy for tomorrow

And leave not the delight of a day for the morrow.
