نيه جُفونك مِن نُعاسك

نيه جُفونك مِن نُعاسك

وَأَسمح بريقك أَو بِكاسك

وَأَسمح بريقك أَو بِكاسك

Rouse your eyelids from your drowsiness,

Shake off the drowsiness from your eyelids

And be generous with your saliva, or your cup.

And let your grin or your cup shine through

طابَ الصُبوح فَهاتَها

طابَ الصُبوح فَهاتَها

وَإِشرَب مَعي بِحيات راسك

وَإِشرَب مَعي بِحيات راسك

The morning draught is sweet, so bring it;

The morning has turned beautiful so bring it

And drink with me, by the life of your head.

And let's drink together to your life

ما الوَرد إِلّا مِن خُدو

ما الوَرد إِلّا مِن خُدو

دك وَالبَنَفسج مِن نَواسك

دك وَالبَنَفسج مِن نَواسك

The rose comes only from your cheeks,

Roses are only from your cheeks

And the violet from your dangling locks.

And violets from your softness

أَفديك ظَبياً أَرتَجي

أَفديك ظَبياً أَرتَجي

ك وَأَتقي سَطوات باسك

ك وَأَتقي سَطوات باسك

I would ransom you, a gazelle in whom I place my hope,

I'd sacrifice myself for you like a gazelle

And fear the onslaughts of your might.

And avoid your overwhelming might

تَخشى الأُسود مَهابة

تَخشى الأُسود مَهابة

مِن أَن تَمرّ عَلى كناسك

مِن أَن تَمرّ عَلى كناسك

In awe, the lions are afraid

Lions fear

To pass by your lair.

To pass by your territory
