1. O spirit of every gathering
And intimacy of every companion
١. يا روحَ كُلِّ اِجتِماعٍ
وَأُنسَ كُلِّ نَديمِ
2. Listen, for you are still hoped for
For every great matter
٢. إِسمَع فَما زِلتَ تُرجى
لِكُلِّ أَمرٍ عَظيمِ
3. That we have attained
In the abode of a noble freeman
٣. بِأَنَّنا قَد حَصَلنا
في دارِ حُرٍّ كَريمِ
4. And we have everything with us
Except for maidens of vineyards
٤. وَعِندَنا كُلُّ شَيءٍ
إِلّا بَناتِ الكُرومِ
5. So send them from a place
Where gloom is dispelled
٥. فَاِبعَث بِها مِن عُقارٍ
فيها جَلاءُ الهُمومِ
6. Radiant like torches
As in the prime days
٦. مُضيئَةٍ كَسَجايا
كَ في الزَمانِ البَهيمِ
7. We rest in the shade of a life
In its shadow and bounty
٧. نَظَلُّ في خَفضِ عَيشٍ
في ظِلِّها وَنَعيمِ
8. With Al-Rashid, but
At the invitation of the Wise Son
٨. عِندَ الرَشيدِ وَلَكِن
في دَعوَةِ اِبنِ الحَكيمِ
