1. غادِ الصَبوحَ مَعَ الصَباحِ المُسفِرِ

    وَاِنعَم بِراحٍ ريحُها كَالعَنبَرِ

    Take the morning draught with the brightening dawn,

    And delight in wine whose fragrance is like ambergris.

  2. فَالطَلُّ مِن فَوقِ الشَفيقِ كَلُؤلُؤٍ

    رَطبٍ عَلى رَطبِ العَقيقِ الأَحمَرِ

    For dew upon the anemone is like pearls,

    Moist upon moist red agate.

  3. وَالآسُ إِن هُوَ جاءَنا بِزَبَرجَدٍ

    وافى إِلَينا الياسَمينُ بِمَرمَرِ

    And if the myrtle has come to us with chrysolite,

    The jasmine has come to us with marble.

  4. وَالأَرضُ يُجلى جيدُها بِقلائِدٍ

    هاتيكَ مِن ذَهَبٍ وَذي مِن جَوهَرِ

    And the earth's neck is made radiant with necklaces:

    Those of gold, and these of gems.
