1. جَالِسُونِي يَا رُفْقَتِي لِلشَّرَابِ

    وَأَعِيدُوا إِلَّي وَهْمَ الشَّبَابِ

    Sit with me, O my companions, to drink,

    And bring back to me the illusion of youth,

  2. فِي المَكَانِ الَّذِي أَلِفْنَاهُ قَبلاً

    وَعَلَى مِثْلِ مَا مَضَى مِنْ تَصَابِ

    In the place we knew so well before,

    And with the same youthful playfulness as of old.

  3. وَلْنُوَدِّعْ تِلْكَ المَعَاهِدَ تُوْدِيعَ

    الضُّيُوفِ الكِرَامِ حِينَ الذَّهَابِ

    And let us bid those familiar haunts farewell

    As honored guests do when they depart.
