1. جَدِّدْ سُروراً بِالشَّرابِ القَدِيمْ

    واشرَبْ هَنيئاً واسقِني يَا نَدِيمْ

    Renew your delight with wine long aged;

    drink with gladness, and pour for me, O boon companion.

  2. وَهَاتِها كالشَّمْسِ قد أَشرَقَتْ

    مِن دَنِّها في جُنْحِ ليلٍ بَهِيمْ

    Bring it forth—like the sun, it has risen

    from its cask in the depths of a pitch-dark night.

  3. في رِقَّةِ الماءِ وَلكِنْ لها

    تَوَقُّدُ النّارِ وَبَرْدُ النَّسِيمْ

    With the limpid delicacy of water—yet it has

    the blaze of fire and the coolness of the breeze.
