يا صاحبيّ اسقياني لا عدمتكما

جزاكما الله بالإحسانِ إِحسانا

O my friend, give me a drink, may you never be far

May God reward you with kindness upon kindness

هُبّا فقد هبّتِ الأطيارُ تخبرنا

من الغصونِ بأنَّ الصبح قد حانا

Come now, the birds have already come and told us

From the branches that dawn has arrived

وعاطياني كُمَيْتَ الراحِ صافيةً

مما تخيَّره كسرى بن ساسانا

And give me a cup of pure, morning breeze

Of the selection of Kisra son of Sasan

بكفِّ ساقٍ رخيمِ الدلّ تحسبه

لِمّا حوى من فتورِ الطرف وسنانا

In a delicate hand that you'd think

Was languid from the softness of its touch

إذا رأتْ مقلتي بستانَ وجنته

فحسبها أن ترى ما عشت بستانا

If my eyelids see a garden and its greenery

They think they're seeing what I've lived with as a garden

لا تسكراني من الصهباءِ ها أنا ذا

من لوعةِ الحبِّ قد أَصبحتُ سكرانا

Don't intoxicate me with blond wine, here I am

From the agony of love, I've awakened drunk
