1. هَتَفَ الصُّبْحُ بِالدُّجى فاسْقِنيها

    قَهْوَةً تَتْرُكُ الحَليمَ سَفيها

    Dawn has called to the darkness—so give it to me to drink:

    Wine that leaves the prudent man foolish.

  2. لَسْتَ تَدْري لِرِقَّةٍ وصَفاءٍ

    هي في كَأْسِها أَمْ الكَأْسُ فيها

    You cannot tell, because of its delicacy and clarity,

    Whether it is in its cup or the cup is in it.
