Sol 6.1

  1. لا وغصن راق للطرف ورق

    وعليه حلل الظرف ورق

    No, by a bough that charmed the eye and grew tender,

    And upon it, robes of grace are leaves,

  2. وشموس لم تغب عن ناظري

    والشعور الليل والخد الشفق

    And by suns that never vanished from my sight,

    And the hair is night, and the cheek the twilight glow,

  3. وعيون حرمت نومي وما

    حللت لي غير دمعي والأرق

    And by eyes that forbade me sleep and did not

    Permit me anything but my tears and sleeplessness:

  4. ما احمرار الراح إلا خجل

    من رضاب سكرت منه الحدق

    Wine’s redness is nothing but embarrassment

    At sweet saliva from which the pupils grew drunk;

  5. والذي قد حسبوه صبياً

    فوق خد الكاس قطرات العرق

    And what they had taken for a boy

    Upon the goblet’s cheek is drops of sweat.
