1. لَقَد سَقَتني اللَيالي الكَأسَ مِن ذَهَبِ

    وَحاسَبَتني بِها الأَيّامُ في الذَهَبِ

    The nights have given me the golden cup to drink

    And the days have charged me in gold for it

  2. نَعَم قَبِلتُ مِنَ الأَيّامِ ما حَسَبَت

    عَلَيَّ مِن ذَهَبِ الكاساتِ فَاِحتَسِبِ

    Yes, I have accepted what the days have counted

    Against me of the gold of the cups, so I seek reward
