غَنِيتُ بِالمَحْبُوبِ عَمَّا يُشْتَهَى

غَنِيتُ بِالمَحْبُوبِ عَمَّا يُشْتَهَى

وَالدَّهْرُ قَدْ آمَنني مِنْ نَزْغِهِ

وَالدَّهْرُ قَدْ آمَنني مِنْ نَزْغِهِ

With my beloved, I have no need of anything else I might desire.

I sang of the beloved, ignoring all else desired

And Time has kept me safe from its malice.

And time has made me safe from its evil promptings

فَخمْرهُ وَوَرْدُهُ وَآسهُ

فَخمْرهُ وَوَرْدُهُ وَآسهُ

مِنْ ريقِهِ وَخَدِّهِ وَصُدغِهِ

مِنْ ريقِهِ وَخَدِّهِ وَصُدغِهِ

For its wine, its rose, and its myrtle

So his wine, his rose, his cup

Come from his saliva, his cheek, and his sidelock.

Are his saliva, his cheek, his chin
