هَلُمَّ لِشُربِ خَمرٍ ذاتِ سُكرٍ

هَلُمَّ لِشُربِ خَمرٍ ذاتِ سُكرٍ

بِأَكؤُسِ ثَغرِهِ لَيسَت تملُّ

بِأَكؤُسِ ثَغرِهِ لَيسَت تملُّ

Come, drink wine that intoxicates,

Come drink some intoxicating wine

From the cups of his mouth, which one never tires of.

In cups whose rim knows no satiety,

وَشمَّ خدّاً عَلَيهِ بَدا عِذارٌ

وَشمَّ خدّاً عَلَيهِ بَدا عِذارٌ

تَرى ماءً عَلَيهِ يرفُّ ظلُّ

تَرى ماءً عَلَيهِ يرفُّ ظلُّ

And breathe in the scent of a cheek where down has appeared:

And smell a cheek on which appears coquetry

You see water over which a shadow flutters.

Like dew-drops sprinkled over a blossoming vine.
