1. Rise, O youth, to the wine,
Rise and pour me a cup,
١. قٌمْ يا غُلامُ إِلى المُدامِ
قُمْ دَاوِني مِنْها بِجَامِ
2. For the dawn steals away the gloom
And the moon smiles in the darkness.
٢. فَالصُّبْحُ يَنْتَهِبُ الدُّجى
وَالبَدْرُ يَضْحَكُ في الظَّلامِ
3. Rise and give me the sparkling red wine,
For the flash of clouds has passed.
٣. قُمْ فَاسْقِني بَرْقَ الثُّغُو
رِ فَقَدْ مَضى بَرْقُ الغَمامِ
4. Hurry to drink the fermented brew,
Before the arrival of the doves.
٤. بادِرْ إِلَى شُرْبِ الحُمَيَّا
قَبْلَ بادِرَةِ الحِمَامِ
5. And seize the moments of unawareness
From a time that wrongs the generous.
٥. وَتَغَنَّمِ الغَفَلاتِ مِنْ
دَهْرٍ يَجُورُ عَلى الكِرَامِ
