يا نَديمي أَطْلِقِ الفَجْ
رَ فَما لِلْكَأْسِ حَبْسُ
O my drinking companion, set free the daw-
n, for the cup must not be held back.
قهوة تُعْطيكَها قَبْ
لَ طُلوعِ الشَّمْسِ شَمْسُ
Wine, offered to you be-
fore sunrise by a sun.
وهي كالمِرِّيخ لَكِنْ
هي سَعْدٌ وهو نَحْسُ
And it is like Mars, but
it is good fortune, and he is ill fortune.
Sol 6.1
