1. أَلا فَاِسقِياني قَهوَةً ذَهَبِيِّةً

    فَقَد أَلبَسَ الآفاقَ جُنحُ الدُجى دَعَج

    Come, then, you two, pour me golden wine;

    For the onset of night has clothed the horizons in deep blackness.

  2. كَأَنَّ الثُرَيّا وَالظَلامُ يَحُفُّها

    فُصوصُ لُجَينٍ قَد أَحاطَ بِهِ سَبَج

    As though the Pleiades, with darkness surrounding them,

    Were gems of silver encircled by jet.
