1. قُمْ فاسْقِني بالكأس إن أمكنَتْ

    كأسٌ وإلا فاسْقنِي بالفَمِ

    Rise and give me drink from a cup, if there is

    a cup to be had; otherwise, give me drink from your mouth.

  2. أما تَرَى النجم الذي كان كالدِّ

    ينارِ قد أصبحَ كالدرهمِ

    Do you not see how the star that was like a di-

    nar has now become like a dirham?

  3. والفجرُ في رَوْض الدُّجَى جدولٌ

    سارَ ليَسْقي زَهَرَ الأَنْجُمِ

    And dawn, in the garden of night, is a stream

    that has flowed forth to water the blossoms of the stars.
