هذِهِ خمري فَذُقها يا نَديمي

هذِهِ خمري فَذُقها يا نَديمي

فَلَها طَعمٌ غَريبٌ في كُرومي

فَلَها طَعمٌ غَريبٌ في كُرومي

This is my wine, so taste it, O my drinking companion.

This is my wine, so taste it, my friend

For it has a strange taste in my vineyards.

It has a strange flavor in my vineyards

ليَ في كَأسي يَقينٌ لَم يَكُن

ليَ في كَأسي يَقينٌ لَم يَكُن

ذَهبَ الشَكُّ مَع الحُبِّ القَديمِ

ذَهبَ الشَكُّ مَع الحُبِّ القَديمِ

In my cup I have a certainty I did not have before;

In my cup there is certainty that was not

Doubt has gone with the old love.

Doubt has gone with the old love

إِنَّ في عَينَي حَبيبي طَرَباً

إِنَّ في عَينَي حَبيبي طَرَباً

شاعَ آمالاً وَعِطراً في صَميمي

شاعَ آمالاً وَعِطراً في صَميمي

Indeed, in my beloved's eyes there is ecstasy

In the eyes of my beloved there is joy

That spread as hopes and fragrance through my innermost being.

That has spread hope and fragrance in my core

أَينَ مِنهُ ذلِكَ الهَمُّ جَرى

أَينَ مِنهُ ذلِكَ الهَمُّ جَرى

مِن أَفاعيهِ سُموماً في كُلومي

مِن أَفاعيهِ سُموماً في كُلومي

What, beside it, is that grief that flowed

Where is that worry which flowed

As poisons from its vipers into my wounds?

Poisons from its snakes in my heart

يا نَديمي أَبرَأَت جُرحي يَدٌ

يا نَديمي أَبرَأَت جُرحي يَدٌ

فاضَ مِنها مَرهَمُ القَلبِ الكَريمِ

فاضَ مِنها مَرهَمُ القَلبِ الكَريمِ

O my drinking companion, a hand has healed my wound;

My friend, a hand has healed my wound

From it poured forth the balm of the generous heart.

From it has poured the balm of a generous heart

فَعَلى كلِّ شَقِيٍّ رَحمَةٌ

فَعَلى كلِّ شَقِيٍّ رَحمَةٌ

مِن سَمائي وَعَلى كُلِّ سَقيمِ

مِن سَمائي وَعَلى كُلِّ سَقيمِ

So upon every wretched one is mercy

On every wretched there is mercy

From my heaven, and upon every ailing one.

From my heavens and on every sick

لَم يَكُن ماضِيَّ في الحُبِّ سِوى

لَم يَكُن ماضِيَّ في الحُبِّ سِوى

مَطهَرٍ أَفضى إِلى هذا النَعيمِ

مَطهَرٍ أَفضى إِلى هذا النَعيمِ

My past in love was nothing but

My past in love was nothing but

A purgatory that led to this bliss.

A cleanser that led to this bliss
