وَعاقِدِ زُنّارٍ عَلى غُصُنِ الآسِ

رَقيقِ المَعاني مُخطَفِ الكَشحِ مَيّاسِ

Tying a belt around the slender bough

Of subtle meaning and snatched coyness

سَقاني عُقاراً صَبَّ فيهِ مِزاجَها

فَأَضحَكَ عَن ثَغرِ الحَبابِ فَمَ الكاسِ

She gave me a potion into which she poured

Her spirit, making the rim of the cup smile
