1. اِشرَب عَلى نارِ الشَقائِقِ فَالنَدى

    في الرَوضِ يوقِدُها بِغَيرِ زِنادِ

    Drink by the anemones’ fire—for the dew

    kindles it in the garden without firesticks—

  2. مِن قَهوَةٍ تَعتَلُّ ما وَهَنَ الهَوى

    عِندَ الصَبابَةِ مِن حَشىً وَفُؤادِ

    a wine that soothes what love has weakened:

    the vitals and heart amid ardent longing.

  3. وَاِركُض وَلا تَنزِل بِرِجلِكَ ساعَةً

    عَن ظَهرِ شَبابِكَ المَدّادِ

    And gallop; do not step down for a moment

    from the back of your long-striding youth.
