1. أَلا يا دَومُ دامَ لَكِ النَعيمُ

    وَأَسمَرُ مِلءُ كَفِّكِ مُستَقيمُ

    Ah, O Dawm, may bliss endure for you,

    and a brown one, filling your palm, erect,

  2. شَديدُ الأَسرِ يَنبِضُ حالِباهُ

    يُحَمُّ كَأَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ سَقيمُ

    firmly built, its two veins throbbing.

    It grows feverish, as though it were a sick man;

  3. يُرَوّيهِ الشَرابُ فَيَزدَهيهِ

    وَيَنفُخُ فيهِ شَيطانٌ رَجيمُ

    wine slakes its thirst and elates it,

    and an accursed devil blows into it.
