دارت عليّ من الصفاح كؤوس

دارت عليّ من الصفاح كؤوس

وبدت لديّ من الرماح شموس

وبدت لديّ من الرماح شموس

Cups from sword blades circled around me,

Cups of wine circled around me,

And suns from spears appeared before me.

And from spears, suns appeared to me.

بأبي كؤوس هوى تطوف بها على

بأبي كؤوس هوى تطوف بها على

قلبي شموس دمي لهنّ نفوس

قلبي شموس دمي لهنّ نفوس

May my father be a ransom for cups of love carried around

By my father, cups whose love circles

My heart by suns whose souls are my blood.

My heart, suns whose souls are my blood.

قسّي فؤادك ما استطعت فإن لي

قسّي فؤادك ما استطعت فإن لي

سحرا يقود زمامه ويسوس

سحرا يقود زمامه ويسوس

Harden your heart as much as you can, for I have

Harden your heart as much as you can, for I have

A spell that leads it by the reins and governs it.

A magic that leads its reins and controls.

هذا فؤاد من حديد بارد

هذا فؤاد من حديد بارد

أبداً وذاك السحر مغناطيس

أبداً وذاك السحر مغناطيس

This is a heart of cold iron

This is a heart of cold iron,

Forever—and that spell is a magnet.

Forever, while that magic is a magnet.
