1. عَرائِسُ القُضبِ تُجلى

    عَلى كَراسي الرَوابي

    The brides of the boughs are unveiled

    Upon the seats of the knolls.

  2. وَمَجلِسُ الرَوضِ فيهِ

    فَرشٌ مِنَ العَتّابي

    And the garden's gathering place holds

    Carpeting of striped ʿAttābī cloth.

  3. فَاِنعَم وَلَذَّ بِبَكرٍ

    قَد تُوِّجَت بِالحَبابِ

    So revel, and delight in virgin wine

    Already crowned with bubbles.

  4. كَأَنَّما الكَأسُ مِنها

    مُحيطَةٌ بِسَرابِ

    As though the cup of that wine

    Were enclosing a mirage.
