1. في الأَرضِ فَيروزَجٌ مُحَلّى

    مِن أَغصُنٍ بِالبَهارِ تُجلى

    On earth lies turquoise, adorned,

    Formed of boughs made radiant with yellow blossoms.

  2. فَقُم بِنانَفتَرِع عَجوزاً

    تَترُكُ شَيخَ السُرورِ طِفلا

    So rise with us; let us deflower an old woman—

    She turns the old man of joy into a child.

  3. فَوَقتُنا بِالصَبوحِ عِندي

    مِن اِنتِظارِ الغَبوقِ أَولى

    For spending our time with morning wine, to my mind,

    Is better than waiting for the evening draught.
