1. القَطرُ قَزٌّ وَالغَيمُ يُبرِمُهُ

    وَالزَهرُ بَزٌّ وَالرَوضُ يَرقُمُهُ

    The rain is silk, and the cloud twists it;

    And blossoms are cloth, and the garden embroiders it.

  2. فَاِشرَب عَلَيهِ الَّتي لَها حَبَبٌ

    تَنثُرُهُ تارَةً وَتَنظِمُهُ

    So drink there the wine that has bubbles:

    Now it scatters them, now strings them together.

  3. فَإِن يَكُن غابَ مِن مُصنَّفِهِ

    شَيءٌ فَقَد نابَ عَنهُ مُعلَمُهُ

    For if its striped cloth should lack

    Anything, its embroidered cloth has taken its place.

  4. وَلا يَسُمتكَ العَذولُ هِجرَتَهُ

    فَلَيسَ يَبقى عَلَيهِ ميسَمُهُ

    And let not the reproacher make you forsake it:

    For his brand will not remain upon it.
