1. هَلْ لَكُمَا في اصْطِباحِ كَأْسٍ

    وفي نُهُوضٍ إلى تَحاسِي

    Would you two care for a morning cup,

    and to rise to sip together—

  2. إلى ضِياءٍ وضَوْءِ نارٍ

    تَمازجا في قَرارِ كاسِ

    radiance and the glow of fire,

    mingled in the depths of a cup?

  3. فَعّالةٌ في الرُّؤوسِ مَالا

    تَفْعَلُهُ سَورَةُ النُّعَاسِ

    Potent in heads, it does what

    the surge of drowsiness does not do.

  4. للّهِ دَرُّ المُدامِ لولا

    هَوانُها في لهى أُنَاسِ

    God bless the wine—if only

    it were not debased in certain people's throats!
