1. وَندامى كاملي الوَص

    فِ شَباباً وَكُهولا

    And drinking companions, perfect in their qualities,

    young men and middle-aged men,

  2. باكروا في شَمألِ الري

    حِ مِن الراحِ شَمولا

    drank early in the north wind

    an intoxicating wine;

  3. فاجتَنوا مِنها سرورا

    واجتَنت مِنهم عُقولا

    so they reaped joy from it,

    and it reaped minds from them.
