1. اليَومُ يَومُ الجامِ وَالرَطلِ

    يَومٌ مَليحُ الفَرعِ وَالأَصلِ

    Today is the day of the goblet and the wine measure,

    A day lovely in branch and root.

  2. فَاِشرَب عَلىرَونَقِهِ قَهوَةً

    كَأَنَّها وَعدٌ بِلا مَطلِ

    So, amid its splendor, drink wine,

    As though it were a promise without delay.

  3. فَالأَرضُ تَجلو نِفسَها بِالَّذي

    في جيدِها مِن لُؤلُؤِ الطَلِّ

    For the earth makes herself radiant with what

    Is upon her neck—pearls of dew.
