1. أَقولُ لِراوُوقٍ تَضَمَّنَ راحَنا

    بِقَلبِكَ إِكسيرُ السُرورِ فَلِم تَبكي

    I say to a wine-strainer holding our wine:

    “In your heart is the elixir of joy—why, then, do you weep?”

  2. فَقالَ هَمَت عَيني وَسِنّي ضاحِكٌ

    وَقَد تَدمَعُ العَينانِ مِن شِدَّةِ الضَحِكِ

    It said, “My eye streamed with tears while my tooth was laughing;

    And both eyes may shed tears from the intensity of laughter.”
