ما زالَتِ الدورُ وَالأَبوابُ تَدفَعُني

ما زالَتِ الدورُ وَالأَبوابُ تَدفَعُني

حَتّى اِنتَهَيتُ إِلى دَيرِ اِبنِ قابوسِ

حَتّى اِنتَهَيتُ إِلى دَيرِ اِبنِ قابوسِ

The houses and doors kept turning me away,

The houses and doors kept pushing me on,

Until I reached the monastery of Ibn Qabus,

Until I ended up at Ibn Qabous's monastery.

حَتّى اِنتَهيتُ إِلى حُرٍّ لَهُ كَرَمٌ

حَتّى اِنتَهيتُ إِلى حُرٍّ لَهُ كَرَمٌ

يَقري المُدامَ عَلى الإيسارِ وَالبوسِ

يَقري المُدامَ عَلى الإيسارِ وَالبوسِ

Until I reached a noble man endowed with generosity,

Until I ended up with a freeman of generosity,

Who serves wine in prosperity and hardship.

Who pours wine freely and kisses freely.
