1. وكأسٍ مِنَ الغدرِ مخلوقةٍ

    ولكنها للأمير الوَفي

    And a cup fashioned from treachery,

    Yet it is for the faithful prince.

  2. إذا ما تضمَّنها كاشِحٌ

    تبيّنَ من سِرّه ما خَفِي

    When a secret foe takes it into himself,

    What was hidden of his secret becomes clear.

  3. قِفَا في المُدامِ على وُدِّهِ

    ولا تُنشِداني قِفا أَو قِفي

    Through wine, you two, come to know his affection,

    And do not recite to me: 'Halt, you two' or 'Halt, you woman.'
