1. السُحبُ قَد نَصَبَت في الجَوِّ أَروِقَةً

    أَطنابُها فَوقَ وَجهِ الأَرضِ تَنسَحِبُ

    The clouds have pitched pavilions in the sky;

    Their guy ropes trail across the face of the earth.

  2. فَقُم بِنا نَصطَبِح راحاً لَها حَبَبٌ

    كَأَنَّهُ فَضَّةٌ مِن تَحتِها ذَهَبُ

    So rise with us: let us drink wine at dawn, whose bubbles

    Are like silver, with gold beneath it,

  3. عَلى عَمائشمِ ريحانٍ مُلَوَّنَةٍ

    لَها مِنَ الخَضرِ مِن أَوراقِهِ عَذَبُ

    Above multicolored [turbans] of basil,

    With green tassels of its leaves.
