1. أأخ الكريم على المدام نريدها

    طيباً على الطيب الذي هو فيها

    O noble brother, to the wine—we desire it,

    as delight upon the delight already within it.

  2. راحٌ كأنَّ مزاجها مما بها

    بتلهب في كأسها يغريها

    Wine, as though its admixture, from what is within it,

    were urging it to blaze inside its cup.

  3. هَزَّت لسورتها الرؤوس وأنها

    لتغادر الرجل الحليم سفيها

    It shook heads with its potency, and indeed it

    surely leaves the prudent man a fool.
