1. قُم فَاِسقِنيها مِن سُلافٍ صانَها

    عَصّارُها في الدَنِّ حَولاً كامِلا

    Rise, and pour me choice wine, kept safe

    by its presser in the wine jar for a full year.

  2. خَمراً تَخالُ شُعاعَها في كَأسِها

    بَرقاً تَأَلَّقَ أَو نُضاراً سائِلا

    Wine whose radiance in its cup you would take for

    flashing lightning, or flowing gold.

  3. أَوَ ما تَرى الجَوزاءَ كَيفَ تَعَرَّضَت

    وَالنَجمَ في أُفقِ المَغارِبِ آفِلا

    And do you not see how Orion stretches across the sky,

    and the star setting on the western horizon,

  4. وَالصُبحَ قَد فَضَحَ الدُجى فَكَأَنَّهُ

    شَيبُ اِبنِ عُروَةَ حينَ يُضحي ناصِلا

    and dawn, which has exposed the darkness, as though it were

    the gray hair of Ibn ʿUrwa when its dye wears off?
