اِشرَب عَلى وَجهِ الصَباحِ

اِشرَب عَلى وَجهِ الصَباحِ

وَاِنظُر إِلى نورِ الأَقاحِ

وَاِنظُر إِلى نورِ الأَقاحِ

Drink as morning shows its face,

Drink at dawn's face

And look at the blossoms of the daisies.

And gaze on meadow-flowers' grace

وَاِعلَم بِأَنَّكَ جاهِلٌ

وَاِعلَم بِأَنَّكَ جاهِلٌ

إِن لَم تَقُل بالاصطباحِ

إِن لَم تَقُل بالاصطباحِ

And know that you are ignorant

Know you are a fool

If you do not advocate drinking in the morning.

Unless with friends you lace

فالدهرُ شيء بارِدٌ

فالدهرُ شيء بارِدٌ

ما لَم تُسخنه بَراحِ

ما لَم تُسخنه بَراحِ

For time is a cold thing,

For time is cold

Unless you warm it with wine.

Unless you warm its pace
