يا مُنْتَهى النَّفسِ سِرْ لنا عَجِلاً

يا مُنْتَهى النَّفسِ سِرْ لنا عَجِلاً

وانهضْ سريعاً وشَرِّفِ المجلسْ

وانهضْ سريعاً وشَرِّفِ المجلسْ

O ultimate desire of the soul, come to us in haste.

O my soul's desire, come quickly

And rise swiftly and honor the gathering.

And rise up swiftly and grace this gathering

فعندنا أوْجُهُ المحاسِنِ في

فعندنا أوْجُهُ المحاسِنِ في

جَيْبِنَا والسُّلاَفُ والنرجسْ

جَيْبِنَا والسُّلاَفُ والنرجسْ

For we have the faces of beauty in

For in our midst are the essence of beauty

Our bosom, and choice wine and narcissus.

In our pockets, conversation and narcissus
