1. صَاحِ هَاتِ العُقارَ حَمْراءَ كالنَّا

    رِ وَدَعْني مِمَّا يَقُولُ العَذُولُ

    O friend, bring the wine, red as fi-

    re, and spare me what the reproacher says.

  2. مَا تَرى اللَّيْلَ كَيْفَ قَدْ غَلَبَ الصُّبْ

    حَ وَقَدْ أَقْبَلَ النَّسِيمُ العَلِيلُ

    Do you not see the night—how it has overcome the morn-

    ing, while the gentle breeze has arrived?

  3. وَكأَنَّ النُّجُومَ وَالبَدْرَ أَزْها

    رُ رِياضٍ في وَسْطِها قِنْدِيلُ

    And the stars and the full moon seem like blos-

    soms in gardens, with a lamp in their midst.
