1. باكِر صَبوحَكَ يا قَضيبَ البانِ

    بِالراحِ بَينَ الآسِ وَالرَيحانِ

    Take your morning draught early, O bough of the bān tree,

    With wine among the myrtle and basil;

  2. فَالغَيمُ يَخلِطُ بَرقَهُ بِضَبابِهِ

    مِثلَ اِختِلاطِ النارِ بِالدُخانِ

    For the cloud mingles its lightning with its mist,

    As fire mingles with smoke.
