واصِل نَهارَكَ يا خَليلي

واصِل نَهارَكَ يا خَليلي

وَاِطرِد هُمومَكَ بِالشَمولِ

وَاِطرِد هُمومَكَ بِالشَمولِ

Prolong your day, my dear friend,

Continue your day, my friend

and drive your worries away with wine.

And banish your worries with joyfulness

وَدَعِ العَذولَ فَإِنَّهُ

وَدَعِ العَذولَ فَإِنَّهُ

سَيَمَلُّ مِن قالٍ وَقيلِ

سَيَمَلُّ مِن قالٍ وَقيلِ

And leave the reproacher be, for he

And leave the despondent one be

will grow weary of talk and hearsay.

For he will soon tire of words and tales
