هَتَفَ الدِّيكُ سُحْرَةً

هَتَفَ الدِّيكُ سُحْرَةً

فَاصْطَبَحْنَا لِهَتْفِهِ

فَاصْطَبَحْنَا لِهَتْفِهِ

The rooster crowed before dawn,

The rooster crowed at dawn

so we took our morning drink in response to his crowing,

So we greeted his cry

بِشَرَابٍ كَعَيْنِهِ

بِشَرَابٍ كَعَيْنِهِ

وَكَبَابٍ كَعُرْفِهِ

وَكَبَابٍ كَعُرْفِهِ

with a drink like his eye,

With drink like his eye

and kebab like his comb.

And kebab like his comb
