إِمزجاها واِسقياني واِشرَبا

إِمزجاها واِسقياني واِشرَبا

وَدَعا العاذِلَ يَهذي كَيفَ شا

وَدَعا العاذِلَ يَهذي كَيفَ شا

Mix it, give me a drink, and drink, you two.

Mix it, pour it for me, and drink,

And let the reproacher babble as he pleases.

And let the blamer rave however he wills.

وَافشيا السِرَّ فَما يَهنأُ لي

وَافشيا السِرَّ فَما يَهنأُ لي

شُربُها إِلّا اذا السِرُّ فَشا

شُربُها إِلّا اذا السِرُّ فَشا

And reveal the secret, for I find no pleasure

Reveal the secret, for I find no delight

In drinking it unless the secret has spread abroad.

In drinking it unless the secret is unveiled.

وَإِذا مُتُّ اِضجِعاني وافرشا

وَإِذا مُتُّ اِضجِعاني وافرشا

مِن عَصيرِ الكرم تَحتي فُرُشا

مِن عَصيرِ الكرم تَحتي فُرُشا

And when I die, lay me down and spread

And when I die, lay me down and spread

Bedding of the vine's juice beneath me.

A bed of the vine's pressed juice beneath me.

واِقطعا لي كَفناً مِن زقِّها

واِقطعا لي كَفناً مِن زقِّها

واطرحا مِنها عَلَيهِ واِرشُشا

واطرحا مِنها عَلَيهِ واِرشُشا

And cut me a shroud from its wineskin,

Cut my burial shroud from its wineskin,

And pour some of it over the shroud, and sprinkle.

Pour some of the wine upon it, and sprinkle it well.

وادفناني يا نَديميَّ إِلى

وادفناني يا نَديميَّ إِلى

جنبِ كرمٍ فرعُهُ قَد عَرَّشا

جنبِ كرمٍ فرعُهُ قَد عَرَّشا

And bury me, my two drinking companions, at

And bury me, O my two drinking companions, beside

The side of a vine whose bough has spread over a trellis,

A grapevine whose branches have formed a trellis,

لِيَظَلَّ الفرعُ مِنّي ظاهِراً

لِيَظَلَّ الفرعُ مِنّي ظاهِراً

وَيَروِّي الأَصلَ مِنّي العَطَشا

وَيَروِّي الأَصلَ مِنّي العَطَشا

So that my branch may remain visible,

So that its branches remain visible above me,

And water my thirsty root.

And its roots quench the thirst within me.

وكِلاني بَعدَ هاتيك إِلى

وكِلاني بَعدَ هاتيك إِلى

راحِمٍ يَفعَل فينا ما يَشا

راحِمٍ يَفعَل فينا ما يَشا

And after that, entrust me to

Then entrust me, after all of this, unto

One who shows mercy and does with us as he wills.

A Merciful One who does with us whatever He wills.
