دَعَوتُ بِماءٍ في إِناءٍ فَجاءَني

غُلامٌ بِهِ خَمراً فَأَوسَعتُهُ زَجرا

I asked for water in a jug, but a boy

Brought me wine, so I scolded him harshly.

فَقالَ هُوَ الماءُ القَراحُ وَإِنَّما

تَجَلّى لَهُ خَدّي فَأَوهَمَكَ الخَمرا

He said "This is pure water, crystal clear,

That took its hue from my rosy cheeks, and so misled you."
