إِذا اِجتَمَعَت في مَجلِسِ الشُربِ سَبعَةٌ

إِذا اِجتَمَعَت في مَجلِسِ الشُربِ سَبعَةٌ

فَما الرَأيُ في تَأخيرِ هِنَّ صَوابُ

فَما الرَأيُ في تَأخيرِ هِنَّ صَوابُ

If seven things come together at a drinking gathering,

When seven gather in a drinking place

then it is not wise to delay them:

Best not delay the cups that cheer and grace

شِواءٌ وَشَمّامٌ وَشُهدٌ وَشاهِدٌ

شِواءٌ وَشَمّامٌ وَشُهدٌ وَشاهِدٌ

وَشَمعٌ وَشادٍ مُطرِبُ وَشَرابُ

وَشَمعٌ وَشادٍ مُطرِبُ وَشَرابُ

roast meat, melon, honeycomb, and a fair companion,

Roast meat, and fruits, and wine of ruby hue

and candles, an enchanting singer, and wine.

Music, and light, and all in merry cue
