أَهْيَفُ كَالبَدْرِ يَصْلي

أَهْيَفُ كَالبَدْرِ يَصْلي

في قُلوبِ النَّاسِ نَارا

A slender youth, like the full moon, kindles

As radiant as the full moon,

a fire in people's hearts.

Kindling a fire in people's hearts,

يَمْزِجُ الخَمْرَ بِفيهِ

يَمْزِجُ الخَمْرَ بِفيهِ

فَترَى النّاسَ سُكَارى

فَترَى النّاسَ سُكَارى

He mixes wine with his mouth,

Mixing wine in his mouth -

and so you see the people drunk.

You'd think the people drunk.
