أَوَجهَ العُلا أَسفِرْ فَقَد أَقبَلَ البَدرُ

أَوَجهَ العُلا أَسفِرْ فَقَد أَقبَلَ البَدرُ

وَكَفَّ النَدى أَمطِر فَقَد بَخِلَ القَطرُ

وَكَفَّ النَدى أَمطِر فَقَد بَخِلَ القَطرُ

O face of glory, shine forth, for the full moon has arrived.

The heights of glory dawn, for the full moon is nigh

And O hand of generosity, rain down, for the rain has grown stingy.

The dew has ceased, rain down, for the rain is shy

وَيا دَهرَنا أَحسِن فَإِنَّكَ مُحسِنٌ

وَيا دَهرَنا أَحسِن فَإِنَّكَ مُحسِنٌ

وَمَن سادَ أَهلَ الدَهرِ كانَ هُوَ الدَهرُ

وَمَن سادَ أَهلَ الدَهرِ كانَ هُوَ الدَهرُ

And O our age, do good, for you are a benefactor.

O fate of ours, be kind, for kindness is your way

And whoever is lord over the people of the age is himself the age.

Who rules people, rules time and sways the day

وَيا مَن سَقى بِالخَمرِ مِن طيبِ ذِكرِهِ

وَيا مَن سَقى بِالخَمرِ مِن طيبِ ذِكرِهِ

أَلا فَاِسقِني خَمراً وَقُل لي هِيَ الخَمرُ

أَلا فَاِسقِني خَمراً وَقُل لي هِيَ الخَمرُ

And O you who served wine drawn from the sweetness of your renown,

O you who quenched with wine of fame and word sublime

Come, then give me wine to drink, and tell me, 'It is wine.'

Give me to drink of wine, say “This is wine” by rhyme

عَدَدنا بِحارَ الماءِ سَبعَةَ أَبحُرٍ

عَدَدنا بِحارَ الماءِ سَبعَةَ أَبحُرٍ

وَلَكِن بِحارُ الجودِ أَنمُلُكَ العَشرُ

وَلَكِن بِحارُ الجودِ أَنمُلُكَ العَشرُ

We counted the seas of water as seven seas,

We counted oceans seven made of waters wide

Yet the seas of generosity are your ten fingertips.

But oceans ten of generosity in you abide
