جمعت حباب الكأس حتى لحقته

جمعت حباب الكأس حتى لحقته

فكونت منه في الإناء بدورا

فكونت منه في الإناء بدورا

I gathered the cup’s bubbles until I caught up with them,

I gathered the bubbles of the cup until I reached it

And formed full moons from them within the vessel.

And formed a pearl within the vessel

فان لمسته الكأس لمساً لكفه

فان لمسته الكأس لمساً لكفه

رأيت الذي نظمت منه نثيرا

رأيت الذي نظمت منه نثيرا

Then, if the cup touched him, brushing his palm,

So if the cup touched it with a touch of its palm

You saw what I had strung from them scattered.

I saw that which I had strung of it scattered
