1. بَدر الدُجا راح يَجلو كاس شَمس الراح

    أَهيف مَهفهف نَفى الأَتراح بِالأَفراح

    The full moon of the dark night began to make the cup of wine’s sun gleam.

    Slender-waisted and delicately built, he banished sorrows with joys.

  2. فَاِشرَب كؤوس الهَنا واِمحُ العَنا بِالراح

    وَاِطرب إِذا الشادن الشادي بِها غَنّى

    So drink the cups of bliss, and erase suffering with wine.

    And rejoice when the singing young gazelle sings of it.

  3. وَاِعلم بِأَن العَذول في الريح عَذلو راح

    And know that the faultfinder’s reproach has gone with the wind.
