أدِرِ الكؤوسا على الطَّرَبِ

واجْلُها شُموسا لِمُرْتَقِبِ

Turn the cups to joy

And fill them with suns for the awaited one

يالها عَروسا لم تَحْتَجبِ

تُبْهِجُ النُّفوسا

Oh beautiful bride who is unveiled

Bringing delight to souls

فَيَطوي الخَجَلْ

بِشْرَها طَيّا

So shyness folds its garment

Give her good tidings

حَسْبُكَ الطِّلاءُ على ذا الرَّبيعْ

قَد مَضى الشِّتاءُ وهذا الرَّبيعْ

It is enough that you are adorned this spring

Winter has passed and this is spring

وصَحا الهواءُ ومال الخَليعْ

وثَوَت ذُكاءُ

The air is clear and the dissolute has leaned

And intelligence has lodged

بِبُرْجِ الحَمَلْ

هيَّ بي هَيّا

In the mansion of Aries

Come on, come on

جُمْلةُ النَّعيمِ لِمنْ عَدَلا

في وِداد رِيْمِ ورَشْفِ طِلا

The pleasures of paradise are for the just

In the love of a gentle gazelle and sipping nectar

فاسْقِني نَديمي وساقِ على

مَنْظَرٍ وَسيمِ

So serve me my boon companion and move on

To a beautiful spectacle

سَما واعْتَدَلْ

مِلءَ عَيْنَيَّا

Over which the sky is balanced

Filling my eyes

بأبي حَلي بهِ شُغُلي

مالَهُ حُلي سِوى العَطلِ

By my father Hayyan, in whom is my occupation

He has no adornment but leisure

أسْمَرُ حُلَيّ كما العَسَلِّْ

وجْهُهُ البَهِيّ

Dark complexioned like honey

His radiant face

كَسَتْهُ المقَلْ

صِبْغَها زِيّا

Like his well-fitted garment

Its dye

جازَ مَنْ لَحاني طَوْرَ العَذَلِ

في هَوى مَعاني ساجي المُقَلِ

He who rallied me in the period of separation

In the love of subtle meanings

هل حُلى الحِسانِ سِوَى الكَحَلِ

الأُسَيْمِراني

Is the adornment of beauty anything but kohl?

Dark brown

حُلو كالعَسَلِ

أيَّ جِيْ لَيّا

Sweet like honey

What a torrent was launched
