1. قُم أَدِر نوراً مُبينا

    ما تَرانا مُظلِمينا

    Rise, pass around a radiant light.

    Do you not see us in darkness?

  2. وَاِقتُلِ الكَأسَ بِمَزجٍ

    تَقتُلِ الهَمِّ يَقينا

    And slay the cup’s wine by mixing it;

    you will surely slay sorrow.

  3. كَي أَرى الكَأسَ تُربِنا

    دُرَراً مِمّا تُرينا

    So I may see the cup enrich us

    with pearls from what it shows us.

  4. مِن يَدَي ساقٍ سُقينا

    مِن لَماهُ ما سُقينا

    From a cupbearer’s hands we were given drink;

    from his dark lips we were not.

  5. إِنَّها لَمّا رَأَتهُ

    عَرِقَت مِنهُ جَبينا

    Indeed, when it saw him,

    its brow broke into sweat because of him.
