سقاني خمرةً من ريقِ فيهِ

وحَيَّا بالعذار وما يليهِ

He gave me a cup of wine from his saliva

And greeted me with aloofness and what follows

وبات معانقي خدًّا بخد

مليحٌ في الأنامِ بلا شبيهِ

And spent the night embracing me, cheek to cheek

A beauty among men, without equal

وبات البدر مطّلعاً علينا

سلوه لاينمّ على أخيهِ

And the full moon spent the night shining upon us

Ask him, he does not sleep while his brother slumbers
