الزَهرُ وَسْنانٌ وَيَقظانٌ

الزَهرُ وَسْنانٌ وَيَقظانٌ

وَالقُضبُ نَشوانٌ وَسَكرانُ

وَالقُضبُ نَشوانٌ وَسَكرانُ

The blossoms are drowsy and wakeful.

The flowers are awake and sober,

And the boughs are tipsy and drunk.

And the twigs are joyful and drunk.

وَالآسُ في الخُضرَةِ فَيروزَجٌ

وَالآسُ في الخُضرَةِ فَيروزَجٌ

وَالوَردُ في الحُمرَةِ مَرجانُ

وَالوَردُ في الحُمرَةِ مَرجانُ

And the myrtle, in its greenness, is turquoise.

The myrtle in the greenery is turquoise,

And the rose, in its redness, is coral.

And the rose in the redness is coral.

فَاِشرَب عَلى جَونَةِ حَلىِ الثَرى

فَاِشرَب عَلى جَونَةِ حَلىِ الثَرى

ما دامَ فيها العِقدُ وَالجانُ

ما دامَ فيها العِقدُ وَالجانُ

So drink beside the casket of the earth’s jewels,

So drink to the beauty of the earth,

As long as the necklace and the serpent remain within it.

As long as there are pearls and wine within.
