حُثّ الكُؤوسَ فَكُلَّ همَ

حُثّ الكُؤوسَ فَكُلَّ همَ

م بِالمُدامَةِ يَذهَبُ

م بِالمُدامَةِ يَذهَبُ

Urge on the cups, for every sorrow

Urge the cups and let every care

vanishes with wine,

Vanish in the delights of wine

ما دامَ ظَلُّ العَيشِ مَم

ما دامَ ظَلُّ العَيشِ مَم

دوداً عَلَيكَ يُطَنَّبُ

دوداً عَلَيكَ يُطَنَّبُ

as long as life's shade is spread

While the shadow of life remains outspread

out over you like a pitched canopy.

And Time shows its wings are yet unshorn

فَحَوادِثُ الأَيّامِ ما

فَحَوادِثُ الأَيّامِ ما

لِلمَرءِ عَنها مَذهَبُ

لِلمَرءِ عَنها مَذهَبُ

For the calamities of the days—there is no

For the accidents of Fate before which

escape from them for anyone.

No mortal man has any escape
