1. اِخلَع عَلى العَينِ حُلَّةَ الطَرَبِ

    وَطَرِّزِ الإِقتِراحَ بِالنُخَبِ

    Bestow upon the eye a robe of rapture,

    and embroider your wish with the choicest things.

  2. وَاِجلُ الَّتي في الوَرى أَحَدٌ

    يَدفَعُها عَن أُبُوَّةِ العِنَبِ

    And unveil her, whom someone among mortals

    disowns as a daughter of the grape.

  3. فَالطَلُّ فَوقَ البِهارِ مُنتَثِرٌ

    كَأَنَّهُ فِضَّةٌ عَلى ذَهَبِ

    For dew is scattered over the oxeye blossoms,

    as though it were silver upon gold.
