لَكَ عِندي دَستيجَةٌ مَختومَه

وَبَلَسقِيَّةٌ لَها أَلفُ قيمَه

I have for you a sealed chest,

And a precious goblet beyond all worth.

مِن كُرومٍ كَريمَةٍ وَمُحالٌ

أَن تَكونَ الكُرومِ إِلّا كَرمَه

Of generous vineyards and estates to be

Yours if you desire such wealth.

وَكُؤوسٌ مِنها النَحيفَةُ تُجلى

بِأَكاليلِها وَمِنها الجَسيمَه

Graceful slender cups and others bold

Adorned in garlands before your eyes.

وَالحَديثُ الَّذي أَخُصُّكَ مِنهُ

بِدواءِ يَشفى النُفوسَ السَقيمه

And there is conversation set aside

To cure souls made ill and cold.

وَإِذا شِئتَ مَن يُغَنّي فَعِندي

قينَةٌ عِندَها أَغانٍ رَخيمَه

And if you wish for one to sing, I have

A songbird whose tunes allure.

وَلَعَمري ما إِن يَفوتُكَ عِندي

زَهرَةٌ في جِنانِ رَوضي مُقيمَه

And by my life, you'll find in my garden

No blossom but stays and endures.

فَاِهزِمِ الإِنتِظارَ عَنّي بِسَعيٍ

أَنا مُستَنجِدٌ فَجُد بِالهَزيمَه

So put to rest this waiting upon me,

I'm calling for aid, make haste don't delay!

قَدِّمِ الوَقتَ بِالَّذي لَكَ عِندي

مِن أَيادٍ وَمَكرُماتٍ قَديمَه

Offer your time for what I've set aside

Of hands and ancient favors.

قَبلَ أَن يَهرُبَ الشَبابُ فَمَهما

رَمتَهُ رُمتَ مِنهُ صَعبَ الشَكيمَه

Before the running of youth, so take care-

However you aim, its zeal is hard to tame.

وَاِغتَنِم يَوماً فَإِنِّيَ مِمَّن

لَيسَ مِنهُ تَقاعُدٌ بِغَنيمَه

Seize the day! For I'm not one to

Lounge lazy while time does claim.
