اِشرَب وَسَقِّ الحَبيبَ يا ساقي

اِشرَب وَسَقِّ الحَبيبَ يا ساقي

وَسَقِّني فَضلَ كَأسِهِ الباقي

وَسَقِّني فَضلَ كَأسِهِ الباقي

Drink and give the beloved a drink, O cupbearer.

Drink and serve the beloved, O cupbearer

Drink, and pour for the beloved, O cupbearer,

And give me what remains in his cup.

And serve me what remains of his cup

And serve me the rest of his remaining cup.

وَسَقِّهِ فَضلَ ما أُخَلِّفُهُ

وَسَقِّهِ فَضلَ ما أُخَلِّفُهُ

في الكَأسِ عَمداً بِغَيرِ إِشفاقِ

في الكَأسِ عَمداً بِغَيرِ إِشفاقِ

And give him what I leave behind

And serve him what I deliberately leave

Then serve him the remnant that I leave behind,

In the cup deliberately, without concern.

In the cup, without regret

Left within the goblet by design, unsparingly.

أَشرَبُ مِن فَضلِهِ وَيَشرَبُ مِن

أَشرَبُ مِن فَضلِهِ وَيَشرَبُ مِن

فَضلي كَذا فِعلَ كُلِّ مُشتاقِ

فَضلي كَذا فِعلَ كُلِّ مُشتاقِ

I drink from what he leaves, and he drinks from

I drink from his remainder and he drinks from

I drink from his surplus, and he drinks from mine—

What I leave—such is the way of every yearning lover.

My remainder, so has done every lover

Such is the deed of every yearning lover.

جِئتَ رَسولاً فَصِرتَ ساقينا

جِئتَ رَسولاً فَصِرتَ ساقينا

حُيِّيتَ مِن مُرسَلٍ وَمِن ساقِ

حُيِّيتَ مِن مُرسَلٍ وَمِن ساقِ

You came as a messenger, then became our cupbearer.

You came as a messenger but became our cupbearer

You came as a messenger, yet became our cupbearer;

Hail to you as an envoy and as a cupbearer!

Greetings from the sender and from the bearer

Hail to you as envoy and as pouring hand.
