قٌمْ يا غُلامُ إِلى المُدامِ

قُمْ دَاوِني مِنْها بِجَامِ

Rise, O youth, to the wine,

Rise and pour me a cup,

فَالصُّبْحُ يَنْتَهِبُ الدُّجى

وَالبَدْرُ يَضْحَكُ في الظَّلامِ

For the dawn steals away the gloom

And the moon smiles in the darkness.

قُمْ فَاسْقِني بَرْقَ الثُّغُو

رِ فَقَدْ مَضى بَرْقُ الغَمامِ

Rise and give me the sparkling red wine,

For the flash of clouds has passed.

بادِرْ إِلَى شُرْبِ الحُمَيَّا

قَبْلَ بادِرَةِ الحِمَامِ

Hurry to drink the fermented brew,

Before the arrival of the doves.

وَتَغَنَّمِ الغَفَلاتِ مِنْ

دَهْرٍ يَجُورُ عَلى الكِرَامِ

And seize the moments of unawareness

From a time that wrongs the generous.
