1. O how delightful is the cup in the hand of the beloved
It melted the lights amidst the flames
١. يَا حَبَذَا الكاَسُ بِكَفِّ الحَبِيبْ
أَذَابَت الأَنَوْارَ وَسْطَ اللَّهِيبْ
2. And how delightful is the wind that never stopped
Intoxicating me with rapture until I disappear
٢. وحَبَذَا الرَّاحُ الَّتِي لَمْ تَزَلْ
تَصْرِفُنِي بِالسُّكْرِ حَتَّى أَغِيبْ
3. O branch of acacia, turn its roses
And the roses on the acacia are for me wondrous
٣. يَا غُصْنَ البَانِ أَدِرْ وَرْدَهُ
والوَرْدُ في البَانِ لَعَمرِي عَجِيبْ
4. And pass the moons the sparks of dusk
O sun and the matter is also strange
٤. وَنَاوِلِ الأَقْمَارَ شُهْبَ الدُّجَى
يَا شمْسُ والأَمْرُ أَيْضاً غَرِيبْ
5. I sacrifice for you, there is no doubt in my youth
Nor any fault in my infatuation
٥. أَفْدِيكَ مَا فِي صَبْوَتِي رَيْبَةٌ
وَلاَ لِسُلْوَانِي بِقَلْبِ تَصِيبْ
6. So judge as you wish besides my aloofness
For the act of my beloved is all dear to me
٦. فَاحْكُمْ بِمَا شئْتَ سِوَى جَفْوَتِي
فِعْلُ حَبِيبي كُلُّهُ لي حَبِيبْ
