لا تَملأَنَّ قَدحي وارفِق فَقَد مُزِجَت

لا تَملأَنَّ قَدحي وارفِق فَقَد مُزِجَت

لي مِن جُفونِكَ أَقداح وَأَقداحُ

لي مِن جُفونِكَ أَقداح وَأَقداحُ

Do not fill my cup; be gentle, for already mixed

Do not fill my cup, be gentle, for cups

Are cups upon cups for me, from your eyelids.

And cups have been poured for me from your eyelids.

يا مَن إِذا تُثنى قدهِ خَطَفَت

يا مَن إِذا تُثنى قدهِ خَطَفَت

لِلجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ أَرواحٌ وَأَرواحُ

لِلجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ أَرواحٌ وَأَرواحُ

O you whose figure, when it sways, snatches away

O you who when bending your waist captures

Soul after soul from jinn and humankind.

The spirits of jinn and men, spirits and spirits.

زِدني ابتِساماً وَقُل لليل دَم أَبَداً

زِدني ابتِساماً وَقُل لليل دَم أَبَداً

فَأَنتَ وَالكأسُ مُصباحٌ وَمُصباحُ

فَأَنتَ وَالكأسُ مُصباحٌ وَمُصباحُ

Give me more smiles, and tell the night, “Last forever,”

Give me more smiles and say to the night, “Stay forever,”

For you are a lamp, and the cup is a lamp.

For you and the cup are a lamp and a lamp.
