قَد أَيقَظَ الصُبحُ ذَواتِ الجَناح

قَد أَيقَظَ الصُبحُ ذَواتِ الجَناح

وَعَطَّرَ الزَهرُ جُيوبَ الرِياحِ

وَعَطَّرَ الزَهرُ جُيوبَ الرِياحِ

Dawn has awakened the winged creatures,

The dawn has awakened the winged ones

And blossoms have perfumed the bosoms of the winds,

And the flowers have perfumed the bosoms of the winds

وَاِرتاحَتِ النَفسُ إِلى شُربِ راح

وَاِرتاحَتِ النَفسُ إِلى شُربِ راح

قُم هاتِها مِن كَفِّ ذاتِ الوِشاحِ

قُم هاتِها مِن كَفِّ ذاتِ الوِشاحِ

And the soul has grown eager to drink wine.

And the soul is refreshed by a draught of comfort

Rise; fetch it from the palm of the woman with the sash,

Arise, bring it here from the hand of the veiled one

فَقَد نَعى اللَيلَ بَشيرُ الصَباحِ

فَقَد نَعى اللَيلَ بَشيرُ الصَباحِ

باكِر فَطَرفُ الدَهرِ في غَفلَةٍ

باكِر فَطَرفُ الدَهرِ في غَفلَةٍ

For morning's herald has announced the death of night.

For the harbinger of dawn has announced the passing of night

Rise early, for Time's eye is off its guard,

Awaken, for the days of your life pass unnoticed

وَأَنتَ مِن يَومِكَ في غَفلَةٍ

وَأَنتَ مِن يَومِكَ في غَفلَةٍ

فَاِعجَل فَظِلُّ العَيشِ في نُقلَةٍ

فَاِعجَل فَظِلُّ العَيشِ في نُقلَةٍ

And you are heedless of your own day.

While you remain unnoticing from your youth

So hasten, for life's shade is shifting,

So hasten, for the shadow of life passes swiftly

وَاِحلُل عُرى نَومِكَ عَن مُقلَةٍ

وَاِحلُل عُرى نَومِكَ عَن مُقلَةٍ

تُقِلُّ أَلحاظاً مِراضاً صِحاحِ

تُقِلُّ أَلحاظاً مِراضاً صِحاحِ

And loosen your sleep's bonds from your eye,

And undo the bonds of your sleep, cast off all ties

Which bears glances languid yet sound.

That diminish the glance and impair wellbeing

فَقاطِعِ الغُمضَ وَصِل نَشوَةً

فَقاطِعِ الغُمضَ وَصِل نَشوَةً

توليكَ مِن بَعدِ الصِبا صَبوَةً

توليكَ مِن بَعدِ الصِبا صَبوَةً

So break with sleep and embrace intoxication,

Break the slumber and attain delight

Which grants you youthful passion after youth has passed.

That will come to you after youth has faded

وَلا تَرُم مِن سُكرِها صَحوَةً

وَلا تَرُم مِن سُكرِها صَحوَةً

خَلِّ الكَرى عَنكَ وَخُذ قَهوَةً

خَلِّ الكَرى عَنكَ وَخُذ قَهوَةً

And seek no sobriety from its intoxication.

Do not then yearn for the intoxication to fade

Cast slumber away from you, and take some wine,

Cast off your worries and take some coffee

تُهدي إِلى الرَوحِ نَسيمَ الرِياحِ

تُهدي إِلى الرَوحِ نَسيمَ الرِياحِ

باكِر صَبوحَ الراحِ بَينَ الدُمى

باكِر صَبوحَ الراحِ بَينَ الدُمى

That brings refreshment with the breath of the winds.

That will send the breeze's spirit to your soul

Take morning wine early among doll-like beauties,

Awaken in the morn amid the abodes

مَع كُلِّ بَدرٍ فاقَ بَدرَ السَما

مَع كُلِّ بَدرٍ فاقَ بَدرَ السَما

مِن كُلِّ حُلوِ اللَفظِ عَذبِ اللَمى

مِن كُلِّ حُلوِ اللَفظِ عَذبِ اللَمى

With each full moon that outshines heaven's full moon,

With each full moon that surpassed the fullness of the sky

Among all those sweet of speech and sweet of dusky lips.

With sweetest words and most luscious gatherings

هَذا صَبوحٌ وَصَباحٌ فَما

هَذا صَبوحٌ وَصَباحٌ فَما

عُذرُكَ عَن تَركِ صَبوحِ الصَباح

عُذرُكَ عَن تَركِ صَبوحِ الصَباح

Here are morning wine and morning—so what

This is an awakening, a dawn, so what

is your excuse for forgoing the morning's draught?

Excuse have you to leave the dawn of morn?

إِن لَذَّةٌ وافَت فَكُن أَهلَها

إِن لَذَّةٌ وافَت فَكُن أَهلَها

مَخافَةَ أَن لا تَرى مِثلَها

مَخافَةَ أَن لا تَرى مِثلَها

If a pleasure comes, be worthy of it,

If a pleasure has presented itself, then be among its people

For fear that you may not see its like.

Fearing you will not see its like again

وَإِن نَأَت صارِمَةً حَبلَها

وَإِن نَأَت صارِمَةً حَبلَها

بادِر إِلى اللَذّاتِ وَاِركَب لَها

بادِر إِلى اللَذّاتِ وَاِركَب لَها

And if it draws away, severing its cord,

And if it passes by grimly, seize its bonds

Hasten to pleasures, and mount in their pursuit

Hasten to delights and ride its racers

سَوابِقَ اللَهوِ ذَواتِ المِراح

سَوابِقَ اللَهوِ ذَواتِ المِراح

أَما تَرى اللَيلَ بِنا قَد طَحا

أَما تَرى اللَيلَ بِنا قَد طَحا

The swift steeds of revelry, full of high spirits.

The carefree steeds of amusement and joy

Do you not see how night has swept us away,

Do you not see the night has folded over us

وَالصُبحَ بِالنورِ لَهُ قَد مَحا

وَالصُبحَ بِالنورِ لَهُ قَد مَحا

قُم فَاِرشُفِ الكَأسَ وَدَع مَن لَحا

قُم فَاِرشُفِ الكَأسَ وَدَع مَن لَحا

And dawn has wiped it out with light?

And the dawn with its light has erased it

Rise, then sip the cup, and leave the reproacher alone,

Arise, drink the wine and leave those who sleep

مِن قَبلِ أَن تَرشُفَ شَمسُ الضُحى

مِن قَبلِ أَن تَرشُفَ شَمسُ الضُحى

ريقَ الغَوادي مِن ثُغورِ الأَقاح

ريقَ الغَوادي مِن ثُغورِ الأَقاح

Before the forenoon sun sips

Before the sun of daylight drinks

The morning rainclouds' saliva from the mouths of daisies.

The saliva of the valleys from the mouths of the meadows
