حُيِّيتَ مِن قَسَمٍ وَأَفدي المُقسِما

حُيِّيتَ مِن قَسَمٍ وَأَفدي المُقسِما

أَمسى الأَنامُ لَهُ مُجِلّاً مُعظِما

أَمسى الأَنامُ لَهُ مُجِلّاً مُعظِما

Hail to you, oath! And I would ransom the one who swore it.

You were greeted with an oath, and I ransom the swearer

Blessed be the oath, and I ransom the one who swore it,

Mankind has come to revere and exalt him.

The people have become reverent and honoring of him

To whom all mankind has turned in reverence and awe.

وَإِذا طَلَبتُ رِضا الأَميرِ بِشُربِها

وَإِذا طَلَبتُ رِضا الأَميرِ بِشُربِها

وَأَخَذتُها فَلَقَد تَرَكتُ الأَحرَما

وَأَخَذتُها فَلَقَد تَرَكتُ الأَحرَما

And when I seek the emir’s favor by drinking it,

And if I sought the ruler’s favor by drinking it

For if I seek the Prince's favor by quaffing the wine,

and take it, then I have indeed forsaken what is more forbidden.

And took it, I would have surely abandoned the sacred

And seize the cup, I have truly forsaken the forbidden.
