1. ذَهَبٌ في ذَهَبٍ را

    حَ بِها غُصنُ لُجَينِ

    Gold within gold, borne

    by a branch of silver.

  2. فَأَتَت قُرَّةَ عَينٍ

    مِن يَدَي قُرَّةِ عَينِ

    And it came, a delight to the eye,

    from the two hands of a delight to the eye.

  3. قَمَرٌ يَحمِلُ شَمساً

    مُرَحَباً بِالقَمَرَينِ

    A moon bearing a sun—

    welcome to the two moons!

  4. لا جَرى بَيني وَلا بَي

    نَهُما طائِرُ بَينِ

    May there pass neither between me nor between

    the two of them any bird of parting.

  5. وَبَقينا ما بَقينا

    أَبَداً مُلتَقِيَينِ

    And may we remain, as long as we live,

    forever together,

  6. في غَبوقٍ وَصَبوحٍ

    لَم نَبِع نَقداً بِدَينِ

    in evening and morning drinking.

    We have not traded cash for credit.
