نحن في الفُرقة طرّاً

في نعيم وملاهي

We in the group are flying high

We are all gathered in this company,

In joy and pleasure untold

In bliss and delightful diversions,

عندنا راحٌ قديمٌ

وحديثٌ ثير ماهي

Amongst us is a wise old man

With us is a wine of ancient vintage,

And talk of things new, manifold

And conversation, stirring and effacing,

وغلامٌ أريحيّ

من تلاميذ سياهِ

A gifted lad of noble stock

And a serving-lad of jovial spirit,

A pupil of masters tried

From the disciples of Siyah,

هو زينٌ غير شينٍ

هو شاهُ وابنُ شاهِ

He's fair of face, pure of heart

He is pure beauty, without a blemish,

A Shah's son, of lineage prized

He is a Shah, and the son of a Shah.
