1. لسْتُ بِنافٍ خُمارَ مخمورِ

    إلا بصافي الشَّرابِ مَقرورِ

    I do not dispel a drunkard's hangover

    Except with a clear, chilled drink.

  2. يطيرُ عن رأسِه القِناعُ إذا

    نَفَّسْتَ عنه خِناقَ مَزرورِ

    The veil flies from its head when

    You loosen its buttoned collar.

  3. رامٍ بسهمٍ كأنَّه خَصِرٌ

    وطيبِ نشرٍ نسيمِ كافورِ

    Shooting an arrow that seems chilled,

    And sweet of scent—a breeze of camphor.

  4. يَميلُ أعلاه وهو مُهتَضِبٌ

    كأنَّه صَولجانُ بَلُّورِ

    Its top leans as it pours profusely,

    As though it were a polo mallet of crystal.
