1. O my friend, give me a drink, may you never be far
May God reward you with kindness upon kindness
١. يا صاحبيّ اسقياني لا عدمتكما
جزاكما الله بالإحسانِ إِحسانا
2. Come now, the birds have already come and told us
From the branches that dawn has arrived
٢. هُبّا فقد هبّتِ الأطيارُ تخبرنا
من الغصونِ بأنَّ الصبح قد حانا
3. And give me a cup of pure, morning breeze
Of the selection of Kisra son of Sasan
٣. وعاطياني كُمَيْتَ الراحِ صافيةً
مما تخيَّره كسرى بن ساسانا
4. In a delicate hand that you'd think
Was languid from the softness of its touch
٤. بكفِّ ساقٍ رخيمِ الدلّ تحسبه
لِمّا حوى من فتورِ الطرف وسنانا
5. If my eyelids see a garden and its greenery
They think they're seeing what I've lived with as a garden
٥. إذا رأتْ مقلتي بستانَ وجنته
فحسبها أن ترى ما عشت بستانا
6. Don't intoxicate me with blond wine, here I am
From the agony of love, I've awakened drunk
٦. لا تسكراني من الصهباءِ ها أنا ذا
من لوعةِ الحبِّ قد أَصبحتُ سكرانا
