1. أَهدَت إِلى سَمعي الشَحاريرُ

    زَمراً صَرانيهِ المَناقيرُ

    The blackbirds have brought to my ear

    Piping whose reed pipes are their beaks.

  2. فَسَقِّني صَفراء مَمزوجَةً

    كَزَنبَقٍ يَعلوهُ كافورُ

    So give me yellow wine, diluted,

    Like jasmine oil topped with camphor.

  3. فَدارُ ضَربِ الرَوضِ مَفتوحَةٌ

    قَد طُبِعَت فيها الدَنانيرُ

    For the garden’s mint is open:

    There the dinars have already been struck.
