عَجِبتُ لِلحَمْرِ تَرْوي حَرَّ غُلَّتِنا

عَجِبتُ لِلحَمْرِ تَرْوي حَرَّ غُلَّتِنا

وطَبعُها وكَذاكَ الفِعلُ نارِيُّ

وطَبعُها وكَذاكَ الفِعلُ نارِيُّ

I marveled at red wine quenching the heat of our thirst,

I'm amazed that wine quenches our burning thirst

Though its nature, and likewise its effect, are fiery.

Yet its nature is fiery, and so is its effect

فَهاتِ فارْوِ بِنار الخَمرِ غُلَّتَنا

فَهاتِ فارْوِ بِنار الخَمرِ غُلَّتَنا

فما لَدَيْنا إذا لم تَرْوِنا رِيُّ

فما لَدَيْنا إذا لم تَرْوِنا رِيُّ

So bring it, and quench our thirst with wine’s fire,

So pour us wine, and quench our burning thirst

For if it does not quench us, we have no relief from thirst.

For without it, we have no relief
