1. قُم نَصطَبِح بَينَ نَسرينٍ وَمَنثورِ

    راحاً مُعَتَّقَةً مِن عَهدِ سابورِ

    Rise, let us drink in the morning among eglantines and stock blossoms,

    wine aged since the time of Shapur.

  2. كَأَنَّها حينَ تُجلى في زُجاجَتِها

    جِسمٌ مِنَ النارِ في ثَوبٍ مِنَ النورِ

    When unveiled in its glass flask, it is like

    a body of fire in a robe of light.

  3. إِذا الحَبابُ عَلاها حينَ تَمزُجُها

    حَسِبَتها صَندلاً مِن تَحتِ كافورِ

    When froth rises over it as you mix it,

    you would think it sandalwood beneath camphor.
