1. وَفي دَيرِ مُرّانَ خَمّارَةٌ

    مِنَ الرومِ في يَومِ شَعنينِها

    And in the monastery of Murran, a woman wine-seller

    From among the Byzantines, on her Palm Sunday,

  2. سَقَتني عَلى وَجهِها المُشتَهى

    أَرَقَّ وَأَعتَقَ مِن دينِها

    Served me, with her alluring face before me,

    Wine more delicate and older than her religion.
