1. إن الصَّبوح هو السرورُ بأَسِهِ

    وهْوَ اللذاذةُ والنعِيمُ الكامِلُ

    Morning wine is joy in its entirety,

    And it is pleasure and perfect bliss.

  2. لا شيءَ اَحْسَنُ حينَ يَنْحَسِرُ الدُّجَى

    ويلوحُ لأْلاءُ النّهارِ الشّاملُ

    Nothing is lovelier, when the darkness recedes

    And day’s all-pervading radiance appears,

  3. مِنْ أَن تُباكِرَ بالنَّدَامى قهوةً

    صفراءَ مِمّا عَتَّقَتْها بابِلُ

    Than to greet the morning with drinking companions over wine,

    Golden, from what Babylon has aged.

  4. خيرُ النهارِ شبابُه فارتع على ال

    لذّاتِ فيه إنَّهنّ رواحِلُ

    The day’s best part is its youth; so revel in the

    pleasures it holds, for they are departing.

  5. سِيماء ساقٍ قد أتى مُتَقَرْطِقاً

    والجوُّ صافٍ والخطوبُ غوافلُ

    Especially with a cupbearer who has come wearing a short tunic,

    While the air is clear and misfortunes are heedless,

  6. والروضُ قد هَزّ النسيمَ رياحُه

    ومجونُنا قد غاب عنه العاذلُ

    And the garden’s winds have stirred the breeze,

    And the reproacher is absent from our revelry.
