1. وَسَاقٍ حَكَى البَدْر وَالغُصْن لِي

    فَذَا بِالتَّمامِ وَذَا بِالقَوامْ

    And a cupbearer who seemed to me like the full moon and the bough—

    the former in fullness, and the latter in graceful stature.

  2. سَقَاني بِكأْسَيْنِ في مَجْلِسٍ

    بِكأسِ المُدامِ وَكأسِ الغَرامْ

    He gave me drink from two cups at a gathering:

    a cup of wine and a cup of passionate love.

  3. بَطِيءِ الإِفَاقَةِ مِثْلِي وَقَدْ

    شَرِبْتُ المُدَامَيْنِ شُرْبَ اغْتِنامْ

    Slow to sober, like me, while I had

    drunk both wines, seizing the chance.
