قَالُوا غَداً يَنْدَمُ مِنْ لَثْمِه

في ثَغْرِهِ إِذْ يَغْلِبُ السُّكْرُ

They said tomorrow he'll regret his kiss

When drunkenness rules his senses

فَقالَ لِي مَبْسَمُهُ دَعْهُمُ

اليَوْمَ خَمْرٌ وغَداً أَمْرُ

But his smiling lips said to me, let them be

Today there's wine, tomorrow consequences
