أَيَا نِشْوَانُ مِنْ خَمْرٍ بِفِيْهِ

أَيَا نِشْوَانُ مِنْ خَمْرٍ بِفِيْهِ

مَتَى تَصْحُو وَرِيْقُكَ خَنْدَرِيْسُ

مَتَى تَصْحُو وَرِيْقُكَ خَنْدَرِيْسُ

O one drunk on wine within his mouth,

O you intoxicated with wine

When will you sober up, when your saliva is aged wine?

When will you wake, your spittle sweet?

أَرَى بِكَ مَا أَرَاهُ بِذِي انْتِشَاءٍ

أَرَى بِكَ مَا أَرَاهُ بِذِي انْتِشَاءٍ

أَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ بِالْكَأسِ الجَلِيْسُ

أَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ بِالْكَأسِ الجَلِيْسُ

I see in you what I see in one intoxicated,

I see in you what I see in one made tipsy -

Whose companion has plied him with the cup:

His boon companion pressed the cup on him.

تَوَرُّدُ وَجْنَةٍ وَفُتُورُ لَحْظٍ

تَوَرُّدُ وَجْنَةٍ وَفُتُورُ لَحْظٍ

تُمَرِّضُهُ وَأَعْطَافٌ تَمِيْسُ

تُمَرِّضُهُ وَأَعْطَافٌ تَمِيْسُ

A cheek's rosy flush, and the languor of a glance

The rose garden's blush, the languor of a glance -

That you make languid, and limbs that sway.

She makes him sick, and sidelong looks caress.
