هَلُمّوا يا أَخِلّائي

هَلُمّوا يا أَخِلّائي

لِراووقٍ يُسَلّينا

لِراووقٍ يُسَلّينا

Come, my dear friends,

Come, my friends

To clear wine that cheers us,

To a garden that soothes us

وَوِلدانَ وَغاداتٍ

وَوِلدانَ وَغاداتٍ

تُغَنّينا وَتَسقينا

تُغَنّينا وَتَسقينا

And youths and graceful maidens

With maidens and lads

Who sing to us and give us drink,

Who sing to us and serve us

لِيَعدو هَمَّنا هَرَباً

لِيَعدو هَمَّنا هَرَباً

وَروحُ الأُنسِ تُحيينا

وَروحُ الأُنسِ تُحيينا

So that our sorrow may flee,

To banish our cares and flee

While the spirit of fellowship revives us,

As joy's spirit revives us

وَنَقضي وَقتَنا طَرَباً

وَنَقضي وَقتَنا طَرَباً

وَلا نَلقى بِأَيدينا

وَلا نَلقى بِأَيدينا

And we spend our time in merriment,

To spend our time merrily

And not cast ourselves [into ruin] with our own hands.

Without toil in our hands
