Drink from the face of the beloved who comes near,

اشرب على وجه الحبيب المقبل

1. Drink from the face of the beloved who comes near,
And from the smiling, accepting lips,

١. اِشْرَبْ على وَجْهِ الحَبيبِ المُقْبِلِ
وعلى الفَمِ المُتَبَسِّمِ المُتقبّلِ

2. A drink that reminds of every other love,
Fresh, and makes one forget every early love.

٢. شُرباً يُذَكِّرُ كلَّ حُبٍّ آخِرٍ
غَضٍّ ويُنْسي كُلَّ حُبٍّ أَوّلِ

3. Move your heart wherever you wish, you will not see,
A new love or an impending union.

٣. نَقِّلْ فُؤادَكَ حيثُ شِئْتَ فلنْ تَرى
كَهَوىً جَديدٍ أَوْ كَوَصْلٍ مُقْبِلِ

4. When I yearn for a desolate, empty ruin,
Its features seem as though they were never inhabited.

٤. ما إنْ أَحِنُّ إلى خَرابٍ مُقْفِرٍ
دَرَسَتْ مَعالِمُهُ كأَنْ لَمْ يُؤْهَلِ

5. I despise my house that I originated,
As for the one who turned away, it is not my house.

٥. مَقَتِي لِمَنْزلِيَ الذي اسْتَحدثْتُهُ
أَمّا الذي وَلّى فليسَ بِمَنْزِلي
