قَضَت خَمرُ الثُّغُور

بِفِطرِ الصّائِمِينَا وَصَومِ المُفطِرِينَا

The wine of the frontiers has legislated

The fast of the fasting ones and the fast-breaking of the fast-breakers

ألاَ بِأبِي شَبَابُ

تُدَارُ بِهِ الكُؤُوسُ

No, by the youth of my father

Goblets are passed around with it

ثَنَايَاهُ الحَبَابُ

لَمَاهُ الخَندَرِيسُ

Its folds are loves

Its brightness is a ewer

لَقَد عَبَثَ الشَّرَابُ

بِأَعطَافٍ تَميسُ

Drink has really toyed

With mellow branches

بمُقلَتِهِ فُتُور نَضَت سَيفاً مُبِينَا

وَنَطمَعُ أن يَلِينَا

With its languor, a clear sword has been sharpened

And we hope it would soften

وَقَد بَسَط الرّبِيعُ

بِسَاطاً مِن نَبَاتِ

Spring has laid down

A carpet of plants

وَطُرّزَتِ الرّبُوعُ

وَعَادَت مُذهَبَاتِ

And the meadows have embroidered

Andreturned gilded

وَقَد نَشِطَ الخَلِيعُ

إلَى تِلكَ الجِهَاتِ

The debauchee has become active

To those areas

وَمُندَمِجِ الحُضُور بِنَغمِتِهِ حَيِينَا

وَيُحيِي المُطرِبِينَا

And the attending melting with his melody has revived us

And revives the singers

و َبَدرِيّ المحيَّا

فَرِيدٍ بِالمَعَانِي

And the full moon of the new crescent

Unique with meanings

يُعَاطِينَا الحُمَيَّا

عَلَى نَغَمِ المَثَانِي

Makes us drink spirits

To the tune of melodies

لَقَد أحيَا فَحَيَّا

لشَاجيّ وَعَانِي

He has revived so greeted

The sleepless and moaner

يُعَدّ في السُّرور زَمَانَ المُفلِحِينَا

بِحُسنِ المُنشِدِينَا

It counts in happiness the time of the successful ones

In the beauty of the singers

فَبَاكِرهَا خُمُوراً

تُدَانُ بِهَا الدّنَانُ

So serve it wine in the early morning

Cups are passed around with it

وَأسقِيهَا الأَمِيرَا

لَهُ في المَجدِ شَانُ

And make the prince drink it

He has glory

تَقَلَّدَهَا الأُمُورَا

يَضِيقُ لَهَا الزّمَانُ

It wore the matters

Time is too narrow for it

وَفي تَلكَ الأُمور صَلاَحُ المُؤمِنِينَا

وَشَقوَى الكَافِرِينَا

And in those matters lie the righteousness of the faithful

And misery of the disbelievers
