عاطِني كأساً زُلالا

ودع العذبَ الحلالا

Give me a cup, cool and clear,

Offer me a cup, limpid and clear,

Leave out the sweet lawful stuff,

And leave the fresh and lawful draught,

أسقِنيها بنتَ كرمٍ

لتلقّينا الهلالا

Serve it to me, daughter of nobility,

Pour me the daughter of the vine,

That we may meet the new moon.

That we may meet the crescent moon.
