أطيب العيش منزل

فيه روض وجدول

The sweetest life is in a home,

With a garden and a stream within,

With a garden and a stream

وسقاة أولو نهى

وسقاة أولو نهى

وكؤوس تَنَقَّل

وكؤوس تَنَقَّل

And cupbearers endowed with wisdom,

And servers of fine manners

And cups that pass around,

Passing cups that gleam

ومغنّ وعازف

ومغنّ وعازف

وهَزار وبلبل

وهَزار وبلبل

And a singer and a musician,

A singer and a musician

And a nightingale and a bulbul,

Jests and chatter's din

وحبيب يحبني

وحبيب يحبني

ورقيب مغفل

ورقيب مغفل

And a beloved who loves me,

A lover who loves me

And a gullible watcher.

And a keeper unaware
