1. إِذا ما شَرِبتُ الراحَ يا صاحِ فاتَني

    لأَرشِفَ مِن ذاكَ الرُضابِ بَقاياها

    Whenever I drink wine, my friend, it eludes me [wording unclear in the Arabic],

    so that I may sip its remnants from that saliva.

  2. فَإِن فاتَني رَشفُ المُدامِ فَإِنَّني

    سأقنَعُ مِنها بِانتِشاقِيَ رَيّاها

    So if sipping the wine eludes me, then I

    shall be content to inhale its fragrance.
