1. بَعَثْتُها قَهْوةً صَفْرا مُعَتَّقَةً

    حمراء تُنْبِت وَرْدَ الحُسْنِ للقُبَلِ

    I sent it—golden, aged wine,

    Red, making beauty’s roses bloom for kisses.

  2. فاشربْ مُهَنًّا على رَغْم الحَسودِ لنا

    واطْرَبْ مُغَنّىً فهذا أَحْسَنُ العَملِ

    So drink with pleasure, despite the one who envies us,

    And rejoice as you are sung to, for this is the finest deed.
