1. قد أكثر الناس في الشاهي مدائحهم

    ولست أذكر فيه فوق ما أجد

    People have lavished their praises on tea,

    And I say of it no more than what I find:

  2. طعم ولون وتفريج وطيب شفا

    ونشوة حي عنها الروح والجسد

    Flavor, color, relief, and the sweetness of healing,

    And an exhilaration through which soul and body come alive.

  3. فاشربه صرفاً ولا تخلط به لبنا

    فالصرف أولى وذا المخلوط منتقد

    So drink it pure, and do not mix milk with it,

    For pure tea is preferable, and this mixture is criticized.
