خُذ كأسَكَ واحذرَ عَنهُ أَن تَنخدِعا

خُذ كأسَكَ واحذرَ عَنهُ أَن تَنخدِعا

واترُك دِمناً بِأهلها البينُ دَعا

واترُك دِمناً بِأهلها البينُ دَعا

Take your cup, and beware lest you be beguiled away from it.

Take your cup and beware being deceived by it

And leave the ruins whose inhabitants parting has summoned away.

And leave the abode to its people, leave them be

فالحَزنُ نَذيرُ الحُزنِ والخَيفُ معا

فالحَزنُ نَذيرُ الحُزنِ والخَيفُ معا

خوفٌ لكَ والجِزعُ تراهُ جَزَعا

خوفٌ لكَ والجِزعُ تراهُ جَزَعا

For rugged ground heralds sorrow, and the mountain foot, too,

For sorrow warns of more sorrow, and fear together

Is fear for you; you see the valley bend as anguish.

Is fear for you, and panic you see as panic
