يَا أَدِيباً إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ أَدِيبٍ

رَاجِعٌ يَوْمَ حُجَّةٍ وَبَيَانِ

رَاجِعٌ يَوْمَ حُجَّةٍ وَبَيَانِ

O man of letters, to whom every man of letters

O man of letters, to whom every man of letters

I was told that in your jars there is wine,

I am told your wine cellar holds a wine

aged for a long time in the wine jars.

That was set free in jars long ago,

خَلُصَتْ مِنْ دَمٍ وَرُدَّتْ لِمَاءٍ

خَلُصَتْ مِنْ دَمٍ وَرُدَّتْ لِمَاءٍ

ثُمَّ أَضْحَتْ رُوحاً بِفِعْلِ الزَّمَانِ

ثُمَّ أَضْحَتْ رُوحاً بِفِعْلِ الزَّمَانِ

It was purified of blood and returned to water,

Freed from blood, returned to pure water,

then became spirit through the action of time.

Then by time's alchemy turned to spirit.

عَرَقُ الذُّوقِ آيَةُ الذَّوقِ فِيمَا

وَصَفوُهُ وَغَايَةُ الإِتْقَانِ

The arak of taste is a marvel of taste, as

The sweat of taste is the sign of taste in what

they described it, and the pinnacle of craftsmanship.

They have described, the pinnacle of craft.

فَإِذَا كَانَ مِنْهُ عِنْدَكَ فَضْلٌ

فَإِذَا كَانَ مِنْهُ عِنْدَكَ فَضْلٌ

فَابْذُلِ الفَضْلَ وَاغْتَنِمْ شُكْرَانِي

فَابْذُلِ الفَضْلَ وَاغْتَنِمْ شُكْرَانِي

So if you have any of it to spare,

So if you have a surplus of such a wine,

then give the surplus and win my gratitude.

Give generously and accept my gratitude.
