1. يا قَهوةً قِشريَّةً

    حَكَت النُضارَ بلَونِها

    O coffee brewed from husks,

    whose color mirrored pure gold!

  2. وَلَكم حباكَ حَبابُها

    بخَلاصِها ولُجَينِها

    And how often her bubbles bestowed on you

    her refined gold and her silver!

  3. جُليَت عليَّ مصونةً

    بِزفافِها وبصَونِها

    She was unveiled before me, inviolate,

    in her bridal procession, her honor preserved.

  4. وَكأَنَّ كُلَّ حَبابَةٍ

    تَرنو إليَّ بِعَينِها

    And it is as though each bubble

    gazes at me with its eye.
