أرقت دما أرجو الشفاء وإنما
بكأس مدام من أراق دما يشفى
I shed blood, hoping for healing; yet only
I was sleepless, hoping for remedy, though
with a cup of wine is one who has shed blood healed.
A cup of wine from the one who shed blood brings healing.
فجد لي بها صرفا إذا ما مزجنها
أتاحت لصرف الدهر من راحتي صرفا
So give it generously to me unmixed; whenever they mix it,
So bring it to me pure when it is mixed -
it lets time’s reversals turn me away from my ease.
It will provide respite from the vicissitudes of fate for me.
فما الجود إلا أن تجود بقهوة
وما الظرف إلا أن تكبر لي الظرفا
For generosity is nothing but your being generous with wine,
Generosity is to give coffee freely,
and refinement is nothing but your enlarging the vessel for me.
And nobility is to pour me a large cup.
