1. Raise your glass to joy, drink and be gay,
Season it as you will with wit and wordplay,
١. اِقدَح زِنادَ السُرورَ بِالقَدَحِ
وَالمَح بِهِ ما تَشاءُ مِن مُلَحِ
2. But say to the man who denies himself mirth -
"By sorrow alone will you find the way?"
٢. صَهباءُ قُل لِلَّذي تَجَنَّبَها
صَه باءَ بِالهَمِّ تارِكُ الفَرَحِ
