إِمزجاها واِسقياني واِشرَبا

وَدَعا العاذِلَ يَهذي كَيفَ شا

Mix it, pour it for me, and drink,

And let the blamer rave however he wills.

وَافشيا السِرَّ فَما يَهنأُ لي

شُربُها إِلّا اذا السِرُّ فَشا

Reveal the secret, for I find no delight

In drinking it unless the secret is unveiled.

وَإِذا مُتُّ اِضجِعاني وافرشا

مِن عَصيرِ الكرم تَحتي فُرُشا

And when I die, lay me down and spread

A bed of the vine's pressed juice beneath me.

واِقطعا لي كَفناً مِن زقِّها

واطرحا مِنها عَلَيهِ واِرشُشا

Cut my burial shroud from its wineskin,

Pour some of the wine upon it, and sprinkle it well.

وادفناني يا نَديميَّ إِلى

جنبِ كرمٍ فرعُهُ قَد عَرَّشا

And bury me, O my two drinking companions, beside

A grapevine whose branches have formed a trellis,

لِيَظَلَّ الفرعُ مِنّي ظاهِراً

وَيَروِّي الأَصلَ مِنّي العَطَشا

So that its branches remain visible above me,

And its roots quench the thirst within me.

وكِلاني بَعدَ هاتيك إِلى

راحِمٍ يَفعَل فينا ما يَشا

Then entrust me, after all of this, unto

A Merciful One who does with us whatever He wills.
