مولاي روض الحظِّ ما يبسا

مولاي روض الحظِّ ما يبسا

وحمى الصفا والجود ما درسا

وحمى الصفا والجود ما درسا

My lord, fortune's garden has not withered,

My Master, the garden of joy has not withered,

nor has the sanctuary of purity and generosity faded away.

Nor has the zeal for excellence and generosity diminished,

والراح ما زالت مشعشعة

والراح ما زالت مشعشعة

تجلو لنا من نورها قبسا

تجلو لنا من نورها قبسا

And the wine remains radiant,

And the wind is still gloriously blowing,

revealing to us a gleam of its light.

Shedding some of its light upon us,

فاسرع لنحسوها معتَّقةً

فاسرع لنحسوها معتَّقةً

ديريةً لا تعرف الدنسا

ديريةً لا تعرف الدنسا

So hurry, that we may sip it, well aged,

So let us hurry to inhale its free air,

from a monastery, knowing no impurity.

A monastery that knows no impurity.

لو ذقت يا مولاي ريقتها

لو ذقت يا مولاي ريقتها

لحسبتها من طيبها لعسا

لحسبتها من طيبها لعسا

If you tasted its saliva, my lord,

If you were to taste it, my Master,

you would take it, for its sweetness, for the savor of dusky lips.

You would think it honeycomb from its sweetness.

إن الوزير رأى يوظفني

إن الوزير رأى يوظفني

ويفيدني مع ذلك النفسا

ويفيدني مع ذلك النفسا

Indeed, the minister has decided to employ me

The minister wants to employ me

and, with that, to grant me breathing room.

And benefit me, refreshing my soul,

فاليوم تأتي ماشياً وغداً

فاليوم تأتي ماشياً وغداً

إن كان يصدق تركب الفرسا

إن كان يصدق تركب الفرسا

So today you come on foot, but tomorrow,

So today I come on foot, and tomorrow,

if he is telling the truth, you will ride a horse.

If he is true, I shall ride a steed.
