عَجِبتُ لِخَمرٍ فَوقَ خَدِّكَ نورُهُ

وَنيرانُهُ تُذكي التَباريحَ مِن قَلبي

I'm amazed by wine above your cheek, its light

And its fires kindle sighs from my heart

كَذَلِكَ دَمعي فَوقَ خَدّي مُذ جَرى

وَآثارُهُ مِن فَوقِ خَدِّكَ بِالعُشبِ

Just like my tears above my cheek since they flowed

And their traces above your cheek in the grass

حُميتَ وَقَد حامَت عَلَيكَ مَطامِعي

فَكَم باتِرٍ عَضبٍ عَلى بارِدٍ عَذبِ

You were ardent when my ambitions revolved around you

So how much cooled anger over gentle cooled
