1. لَنا ذَهَبٌ بَواتِقُهُ الكُؤوسُ

    وَياقوتُ مَعادِنُهُ الغُروسُ

    Ours is gold whose crucibles are cups,

    And ruby whose mines are planted trees,

  2. وَمِسكُ بَنَفسَجٍ وَخَلوقُ وَردً

    تَطيبُ لِطيبِ ريحِهِما النُفوسُ

    And the musk of violets and the perfume of roses;

    Souls are gladdened by the sweetness of their fragrance.

  3. وَغَدرانٌ لَنا مِنها بُدورٌ

    وَأَثمارٌ لَنا مِنها شُموسُ

    And pools from which we have full moons,

    And fruits from which we have suns.

  4. فَفُكَّ بِزَورَةٍ أَقداحَ قَومٍ

    أَكُفُّهُمُ لِأَسراها حُبوسُ

    So, with a visit, free the goblets of folk

    Whose palms are prisons for their captives.
