وَشادِنٍ أَسأَلُهُ قَهوَةً

وَشادِنٍ أَسأَلُهُ قَهوَةً

فَجادَ بِالقَهوَةِ وَالوَردِ

فَجادَ بِالقَهوَةِ وَالوَردِ

And a young gazelle—I asked him for wine;

I asked him for coffee

So he lavished wine and roses on me.

So he brought coffee and roses

فَبِتُّ أُسقى الراحَ مِن ريقِهِ

فَبِتُّ أُسقى الراحَ مِن ريقِهِ

وَأَجتَني الوَردَ مِنَ الخَدِّ

وَأَجتَني الوَردَ مِنَ الخَدِّ

So all night I was served wine from his saliva,

I stayed up watering the soul with his saliva

And plucked roses from his cheek.

And plucking roses from his cheek
