قَدْ قُلْتُ لِلْكَأسِ وَأَبْصَرْتُهَا

تَلْثُمُهُ طُوبَاكَ يَا كَاسَهُ

I said to the cup as I looked upon it,

"Blessed are you, O cup, when his lips touch you!"

طُوَباكَ إِذْ أَدْنَاكَ مِنْ ثَغْرِهِ

فَاخْتَلَسَتْ رَيَّاكَ أَنْفَاسَهُ

Blessed are you when I bring you close to his mouth

And you steal the moisture of his breath.
