1. ومشمولةٍ قد هام كسرى بكأسها

    فاضحى ينادي وهو فيها مصور

    And a wine cooled by the north wind—Kisra was smitten with its cup.

    So he began calling out, depicted within it:

  2. وقفت لشوقي من وراء زجاجةٍ

    إلى الدار من فرطِ الصبابةِ أنظرُ

    “Out of longing I stood behind a glass vessel,

    Gazing toward the house out of intense yearning.”
