راحٌ كَريحِكَ في الثَناءِ

راحٌ كَريحِكَ في الثَناءِ

وَكَمِثلِ وُدِّكَ في الصَفاءِ

وَكَمِثلِ وُدِّكَ في الصَفاءِ

Wine, as praiseworthy as your fragrance,

Gentle as your breeze in praise,

And as pure as your affection;

And like your affection in serenity,

وَحَدائِقٍ قد زُوِّقَت

وَحَدائِقٍ قد زُوِّقَت

بِصُنوفِ أَصباغِ الشِتاءِ

بِصُنوفِ أَصباغِ الشِتاءِ

And gardens already adorned

And gardens adorned

With winter's varied pigments:

With winter's colorful blooms.

مَن لا زوردِ بَنَفسَجٍ

مَن لا زوردِ بَنَفسَجٍ

ما بَينَ إِسفيداجَ ماءِ

ما بَينَ إِسفيداجَ ماءِ

The lapis-lazuli blue of violets

No violet or hyacinth

Amid the white pigment of water.

Between the white water lilies.

فَعَلامَ تُلفى صَاحِياً

فَعَلامَ تُلفى صَاحِياً

وَاليَومَ نَشوانُ الهَواءِ

وَاليَومَ نَشوانُ الهَواءِ

So why are you found sober,

Why wander crying out loud

While the day's very air is drunk?

When today the air is pleasant.
