لَقَد سَقَتني اللَيالي الكَأسَ مِن ذَهَبِ
وَحاسَبَتني بِها الأَيّامُ في الذَهَبِ
The nights have given me the golden cup to drink
And the days have charged me in gold for it
نَعَم قَبِلتُ مِنَ الأَيّامِ ما حَسَبَت
عَلَيَّ مِن ذَهَبِ الكاساتِ فَاِحتَسِبِ
Yes, I have accepted what the days have counted
Against me of the gold of the cups, so I seek reward
