1. لَيسَ عَنكَ مُصطَبَرُ

    حينَ أَسعَدَ القَدَرُ

    There is no bearing separation from you

    When fate has been kind.

  2. إِنَّ صَفوَ عَيشَتِنا

    لا يَشوبُهُ كَدَرُ

    Indeed, the serenity of our life

    Is clouded by no sorrow.

  3. فَاِبتَدِر لِمَجلِسِنا

    فَاللَبيبُ يَبتَدِرُ

    So hasten to our gathering,

    For the wise hasten.

  4. وَاَعجَبَن لِشَمسِ ضُحىً

    قَد سَعى بِها قَمَرُ

    And marvel at a midmorning sun

    That a moon has borne along.

  5. وَالخُطوبُ غافِلَةٌ

    وَالرِفاقُ قَد حَضَروا

    And misfortunes are heedless,

    And the companions have arrived,

  6. وَالعُيونُ ناظِرَةٌ

    وَالقُلوبُ تَنتَظِرُ

    And eyes are watching,

    And hearts are waiting.

  7. غَيرَ أَنَّهُم نَفَرٌ

    عَن رِضاكَ ما نَفَروا

    Yet they are a band of men

    Who have never turned from pleasing you.

  8. إِن مَنَحتَهُم شَكَروا

    أَو مَنَعتَهُم عَذَروا

    If you give to them, they give thanks;

    Or if you withhold, they excuse you.
