1. شَرِبتُ وَصُحبَتي يَوماً بِغَمرٍ

    شَراباً كانَ مِن لُطفٍ هَواءَ

    My companions and I drank one day at Ghamr

    A drink so fine it was air.

  2. وَزَنّا الكَأسَ فارِغَةً وَمُلأى

    فَكانَ الوَزنُ بَينَهُما سَواءَ

    We weighed the cup empty and full,

    And the weight was the same in both.
