1. The cup of life circulates
Whoever tastes it sheds inhibition

2. The night endures through it
And when it fades, daybreak rises

3. Through it, lives grew fond
Neither short nor long persisted

4. The boy drank it, not refraining
Nor the aged from intoxication

5. The noble tasted its draft
And the ignoble took the dregs

6. The love-struck obtained from it
What even the dignified obtained

7. It tilts over the universe
And topples the revolving orbit

8. The cup of death in a rough hand
From which there is no escape

9. It flows right, so whoever inclines
Left, it flowed to the left

10. The audacious perished when he raced
The desperate when he attacked

11. Predator of hopes, chances, sieges
Remnant of the groups that

12. Used to defend from enemies
Soldiers of the Caliphate, the Sultan’s troops

13. Guardians of the homelands
Their mountain passes narrowed

14. With you, O Solitude and wastelands
Your days in them, though

15. Long the distance of renown
The enemy knew you are

16. Bracelets for its strongholds
You stared at its den

17. Leaving it no rest
Until the lost found guidance

18. And the rebellious repented
A pillar of authority that had crumbled

19. Was honored again
Live for glory and pride, O best

20. Of sons, and for esteem
I cry for your tears flowing

21. And for your younger brothers' tears
And I wish you were men like

22. Your father, grown
And I want your house an edifice

23. Unparalleled in its foundation
From which no grace departs

24. Nor does left fortune abandon
