ألا سَقِّني يا صاحِ خمراًفإنّني
بما أنزلَ الرحمنُ في الخمرِ عالمُ
Come, my friend, give me wine to drink, for I know well
Come, pour me wine, my friend, for I
what the All-Merciful has revealed concerning wine.
know what the Most Merciful has revealed concerning wine.
وجُد لي بها صِرفاً لأَزدادَ مَأثماً
ففي شُربها صِرفاً تتِمُّ المآثمُ
Be generous and give it to me unmixed, that I may grow in sin;
And give it generously to me, unmixed, that I may increase in sin;
for by drinking it unmixed, sins are brought to completion.
for in drinking it unmixed, sins are made complete.
هي النّارُ إِلاَّ أنّني نلتُ لذةً
وقضَّيتُ أوطاري وإن لام لائمُ
It is the Fire—yet I have tasted pleasure,
It is the Fire, yet I have found pleasure
and fulfilled my desires, though a censor blame me.
and fulfilled my desires, even if a reproacher blames me.
Sol 6.1
