قم بليل يا نديم

واشكر البرّ الرحيم

Rise at night, O boon companion,

And give thanks to the Merciful Lord.

واشكُرِ الباشا عليا

صاحب الخلق الوسيم

And give thanks to the noble Pasha,

Of beautiful character.

عالج الخمر فزالت

وهي من داء قديم

He cured the wine, so it disappeared,

That ancient affliction.

علّةٌ أحجمَ عنها

كلّ عرّافٍ حكيم

An ailment that every wise soothsayer

Has shunned.

صانه اللّه وأبقى

للصراط المستقيم

May God protect him and keep him

On the Straight Path.

وأرانا في بنيه

كلّ أنواع النعيم

And show us in his sons

Every kind of bliss.

وجزاهم بعظيم

وفق ذا الأمر العظيم

And reward them greatly

For this mighty deed.

فعلةٌ يعنو إليها

من له قلب سليم

It's an achievement that appeals

To whoever has a sound heart.

صدقوا إذ أرّخوها

أبطل الخمرَ كريم

They spoke truly when they dated it:

The noble one abolished wine.
