1. وَتَرى الكأسَ دَائِراً كَهِلالٍ

    سَارَ فيهِ المِحَاقُ عِنْدَ الكَمَالِ

    And you see the cup passing round like a crescent moon,

    Through which the dark of the moon has passed at fullness.

  2. فَإِذا افْتَضَّها المِزاجُ كَسَاها

    حُلَّةَ الشَّمْسِ عِنْدَ وَقْتِ الزَّوالِ

    Then, when the mixing water deflowers it, it clothes it

    In the sun’s robe at the hour of noon.
