هُم قَعَدوا فَاِنتَقوا لَهُم حَسَباً

يَدخُلُ بَعدَ العِشاءِ في العَرَبِ

They sat and selected the finest wines,

Entering after supper into conversation -

حَتّى إِذا ما الصَباحُ لاحَ لَهُم

بَيَّنَ سَتّوقَهُم مِنَ الذَهَبِ

Until when morning shone upon them

Their drinking-cups of gold made clear the tale
