1. اِشرَب عَلى شُربِ الغُيومِ

    صَهباءَ مِن كَرمِ الكُرومِ

    Drink as the clouds drink,

    tawny wine from the vineyard of vineyards,

  2. مادُمتَ تَرفُلُ في الصِبا

    بَينَ الرَفاهَةِ وَالنَعيمِ

    so long as you revel in youth,

    amid ease and bliss,

  3. مِن قَبلَ أَن يَمشي عَلى

    فَودَيكَ مُشتَبِكُ النُجومِ

    before there creeps across

    your temples a tangle of stars.
