1. اِشْرَبْ عَلى وَرْدَيْنِ قَدْ

    وُصِلا بِعَيْشٍ مُسْتَجَدِّ

    Drink beside two roses that have

    been joined in a life renewed:

  2. وَرْدِ الرِّياضِ ونزهَةُ ال

    أَلْحاظِ فيهِ وَوَرْدِ خَدِّ

    The rose of gardens (the delight of the

    eyes lies in it), and the rose of a cheek.

  3. واصِلْهُما مِن قَبلِ أَنْ

    يَرْميكَ وَصْلُهُما بِصَدِّ

    Keep close to them both before

    union with them strikes you with rejection.

  4. إِنّي أَرى الأَيامَ تُنْ

    ذِرُنا بِعَيْشٍ مُسْتَرَدِّ

    Indeed, I see the days warning

    us of a life to be taken back.

  5. فاسْتَغْنِمِ العَيْشَ الْمُعا

    رَ لَها فما تُوفي بِعَهْدِ

    So make the most of the life lent

    to them, for they keep no pledge.
