1. أَلهَتنيَ لِلوردِ ظِلالٌ سَبَغَت

    وَالنَفسُ صَبابَةً إِلى اللَهوِ صَغَت

    The roses’ spreading shadows beguiled me,

    And the soul, in longing, inclined toward pleasure.

  2. إِن أَنتَشِ كالصَبا فَمما اِحتَمَلَت

    مِن نشرك شَمَّةً كؤوسٌ فَرَغَت

    If, like the east wind, I grow drunk, it is from what was borne—

    A whiff of your fragrance—by cups now empty.
