أدرِ الكأسَ علينا

أدرِ الكأسَ علينا

أيها الساقي لنطرب

أيها الساقي لنطرب

Pass the cup around to us,

Turn the cup upon us,

O cupbearer, let us revel.

O cupbearer, that we may sing;

ما ترى الليل تولى

ما ترى الليل تولى

وضياءَ الشمس يقرب

وضياءَ الشمس يقرب

Do you not see that night has departed

See how the night has come to pass,

and the sunlight draws near?

And the sun's light begins to spring,

والثريا شبه كأسٍ

والثريا شبه كأسٍ

حين تبدو ثم تغرب

حين تبدو ثم تغرب

And the Pleiades are like a cup

The Pleiades appearing like

when they appear and then set.

A goblet, when they rise and sink,

وكأن الشرق يسقي

وكأن الشرق يسقي

وكأنَّ الغربَ يشرَب

وكأنَّ الغربَ يشرَب

And it is as though the East serves drink,

As though the East were drinking them,

and as though the West drinks.

And as though the West did drink.
