1. قُم فَاِجلُها في خَلعَةِ الكاسِ

    بِكراً لَها تاجٌ مِنَ الراسِ

    Rise, then unveil her in the cup’s robe,

    a virgin with a crown upon her head,

  2. عَلى غِناءٍ كَدَوامِ الغِنى

    من مُحسِنٍ مِن أَحسَنِ الناسِ

    to singing as enduring as wealth,

    from a skilled performer, among the finest of people.

  3. فَالغَيمُ قَد دَحرَجَ مِن قَطرِهِ

    دُرّاً عَلى المينا مِنَ الآسِ

    For the cloud has rolled from its raindrops

    pearls upon the enamel of myrtle.
