1. إِسقِنا يا يَزيدُ بِالقَرقارَه

    قَد طَرِبنا وَحَنَّتِ الزَمارَه

    Give me to drink, O Yazid, from the gurgling jug

    For we are enraptured and the lute is moaning

  2. مِن شَرابٍ كَأَنَّهُ دَمُ خَشفٍ

    عَتَّقَتهُ هَشيمَةُ الخَمّارَه

    With a drink that is like the blood of an unweaned lamb

    Aged by the dregs of the wine-merchant's flagon

  3. إِسقِني إِسقِني فَإِنَّ ذُنوبي

    قَد أَحاطَت فَما لَها كَفّارَه

    Give me to drink, give me to drink, for my sins

    Have encircled me, with no atonement
