أَدِرها عَلَينا قَبلَ أَن نَتَفَرَّقا

وَهاتِ اسقِني مِنها سُلافاً مُرَوَّقا

Turn it towards us before we part

Pass the cup around us before we separate,

And bring me from it a delicious drink

And pour me a draught of the purest, clearest wine,

فَقَد هَمَّ وَجهُ الصُبحِ أَن يُضحِكَ الدُجى

وَهَمَّ قَميصُ اللَيلِ أَن يَتَمَزَّقا

For the face of dawn has intended to make darkness laugh

For the face of Dawn prepares to make the darkness laugh,

And the shirt of night has intended to tear apart

And the garment of the Night is ready to be torn asunder.
