1. سقى فسقى الله الزمان من أجله

    بكأسين من لميائه وعقاره

    He gave me drink—may God water the age for his sake—

    With two cups, from his dusky lips and his wine.

  2. وحياً فحيا الله دهراً أتى به

    بأطيب من ريحانه وعراره

    And he greeted me—may God bless an age that brought him—

    With something more fragrant than his basil and his ʿarār blossoms.
