1. هاتِ المَدامَةَ يا غُلامُ مُعَجِّلاً

    فَالنَفَسُ في قَيد الهَوى مَأسورَه

    Bring the wine, boy, without delay.

    For the soul is captive in the bonds of love.

  2. أَوَ ما تَرى كانونَ يَنثُرُ وَردَهُ

    وَكَأَنَّما الدُنيا بِهِ كافورَه

    Do you not see Kanun scattering its roses?

    And it is as though the world, through it, were camphor.
