1. أَيا ذا الفَخرِ وَمَلكَ العَصرِ

    وَسامي القَدرِ عَلى النِسرَينِ

    O possessor of glory and king of the age,

    And lofty in rank above the two Eagles,

  2. وَرَبَّ الفَضلِ وَجَمَّ البَذلِ

    وَمَن بِالعَدلِ حَكى العُمَرَينِ

    And master of excellence and lavish in giving,

    And you who in justice matched the two ʿUmars.

  3. أَرى الأَنوارَ مِن النُوّارِ

    شَبيهَ النارِ بَدَت لِلعَينِ

    I see the lights from the blossoms;

    Like fire, they appeared to the eye.

  4. فَقُم مِن بَعدِ نُهوضِ السَعدِ

    فَإِنَّ الوَعدَ شَبيهُ الدَينِ

    So rise, now that good fortune has risen,

    For a promise is like a debt.

  5. خُذِ اللَذّاتِ مِنَ الأَوقاتِ

    وَدَع ما فاتَ قُبَيلَ البَينِ

    Take your pleasures from the hours,

    And leave behind what has passed, as parting nears.

  6. وَقُم نَرتاحُ لِشُربِ الراحِ

    فَلِلأَقداحِ سَناها زَينِ

    And rise; let us delight in drinking wine,

    For its radiance adorns the goblets,

  7. مِنَ الإِثنَينِ إِلى الإِثنَينِ

    إِلى الإِثنَينِ إِلى الإِثنَينِ

    From Monday to Monday,

    To Monday, to Monday.
