مَرَتكَ اِبنَ إِبراهيمَ صافِيَةُ الخَمرِ

مَرَتكَ اِبنَ إِبراهيمَ صافِيَةُ الخَمرِ

وَهُنِّئتَها مِن شارِبٍ مُسكِرِ السُكرِ

May pure wine agree with you, son of Ibrahim,

Ibn Ibrahim's daughter, clear wine, passed by you

And you congratulated her, drunk from sweet nectar

I saw the crimson glow in the glass within his palm, and likened it to the sun, within the moon, within the sea.

رَأَيتُ الحُمَيّا في الزُجاجِ بِكَفِّهِ

فَشَبَّهتُها بِالشَمسِ في البَدرِ في البَحرِ

I saw the potent wine in the glass in his palm,

I saw the truffle in his palm

Whenever we mention his bounty, it is instantly present; whether far or near, it hastens on the foot of al-Khidr.

So I likened it to the sun within the full moon within the sea.

So I likened it to the sun in the full moon over the sea

إِذا ما ذَكَرنا جودَهُ كانَ حاضِراً

إِذا ما ذَكَرنا جودَهُ كانَ حاضِراً

نَأى أَو دَنا يَسعى عَلى قَدَمِ الخِضرِ

نَأى أَو دَنا يَسعى عَلى قَدَمِ الخِضرِ

Whenever we mention his generosity, he is present,

When we remember his generosity, he is present

Whether far away or near, hastening with al-Khidr’s stride.

Whether far or near, treading in al-Khidr's footsteps
