1. وَعاطَيتُهُ جُنحَ الظَّلامِ سُلافَةً

    مُوَرَّسَةَ الجِلبابِ عاطِرَةَ النَّشرِ

    And I shared choice wine with him as darkness fell,

    Yellow-robed and sweetly fragrant,

  2. وَفي لَيلَةٍ يَرنو بِها الأُنسُ أَخيَفاً

    فَمِن كَحَلِ الظَّلما وَمِن زَرَقِ النَّهرِ

    And on a night when conviviality gazed with different-colored eyes:

    One dark from the night, the other blue from the river.
