1. O my soul's desire, come quickly
And rise up swiftly and grace this gathering
١. يا مُنْتَهى النَّفسِ سِرْ لنا عَجِلاً
وانهضْ سريعاً وشَرِّفِ المجلسْ
2. For in our midst are the essence of beauty
In our pockets, conversation and narcissus
٢. فعندنا أوْجُهُ المحاسِنِ في
جَيْبِنَا والسُّلاَفُ والنرجسْ
