قُم نَصطَبِح قَهوَةً رَوائِحُها

قُم نَصطَبِح قَهوَةً رَوائِحُها

تُفضي إِلى الروحِ بِالمَسَرّاتِ

تُفضي إِلى الروحِ بِالمَسَرّاتِ

Rise, let us drink wine at dawn, whose fragrances

Let us get up and have coffee, its fragrance

bring delights to the soul,

Leads the soul to pleasures

مَع فِتيَةٍ في رُبى خَلائِقِهِم

مَع فِتيَةٍ في رُبى خَلائِقِهِم

ما شِئتَ مِن زَهرَةِ الفُتُوّاتِ

ما شِئتَ مِن زَهرَةِ الفُتُوّاتِ

with young men, in the uplands of whose character

With youths in the prime of their nature

lies all the bloom of chivalry you could wish for.

Whatever flower of maidens you desire

فَزُبدَةَ العَيشِ لا يَفوزُ بِها

فَزُبدَةَ العَيشِ لا يَفوزُ بِها

سِوى الَّذي يَمخُضُ الخَلاعاتِ

سِوى الَّذي يَمخُضُ الخَلاعاتِ

For none wins the cream of life

For the cream of life is only won

except the one who churns licentious revelries.

By one who endures life's hardships
