اِشرَب فُديتَ عَلانِيَه

اِشرَب فُديتَ عَلانِيَه

أُمُّ التَسَتُّرِ زانِيَه

أُمُّ التَسَتُّرِ زانِيَه

Drink openly—may you be ransomed!

Drink open and shameless

Drink openly—may you be ransomed!

Concealment's mother is an adulteress.

The pretense of modesty is adulterous

For the mother of secrecy is a harlot.

اِشرَب فَدَيتُكَ وَاِسقِني

اِشرَب فَدَيتُكَ وَاِسقِني

حَتّى أَنامَ مَكانِيَه

حَتّى أَنامَ مَكانِيَه

Drink—I would ransom you—and give me drink,

Drink, my darling, and pour me some

Drink—may I be your ransom—and pour for me,

Until I fall asleep where I am.

Until I fall asleep right where I am

Until I fall asleep right where I sit.

لا تَقنَعَنَّ بِسَكرَةٍ

لا تَقنَعَنَّ بِسَكرَةٍ

حَتّى تَعودَ بِثانِيَه

حَتّى تَعودَ بِثانِيَه

Do not be content with one bout of drunkenness

Don’t settle for just one round

Do not content yourself with a single drunkenness,

Until you return with a second.

Have another, and another one

Until you return to take a second.

وَدَعِ التَسَتُّرَ وَالرِيا

وَدَعِ التَسَتُّرَ وَالرِيا

ءَ فَما هُما مِن شانِيَه

ءَ فَما هُما مِن شانِيَه

And abandon concealment and hypocrisy,

Leave this pretense and pious act

And cast off concealment and hypocrisy,

For neither is my way.

They’re not fit for one like me

For neither is part of my nature.
