1. The wine is poured in abundance
Like pearls from the eyes of the clouds

2. And the meadow spreads its fragrance
As the flowers open their veils

3. The moon marshals its troops
Until it defeats the army of darkness

4. And the sweet sleep of its watchmen
Arise, my boon companion, bring me the wine

5. It gleams and glitters like flames
Oh, its potency fills one with love

6. Tell my beloved, the branch of glory
To drink and give his companion to drink

7. The vines grew, the elite of the generous
And the basil is sweet to taste

8. No blame in this, and no reproach
This abode encompasses all perfection

9. Of delicate wine and fine wine
Drink, though you be blamed for it

10. For the fine wine will end your burning thirst
In me is the beauty of the gazelle

11. Beauty and ornament well befit me
A branch that plays with its ringlets

12. Parts from the essence of order
She has strung pearls on her bosom

13. And graced her cheeks with roses
Gently, beneath the jujube tree

14. She casts with her eyelashes like arrows
No beauty compares, not even

15. The full moon in its perfection
When it appears, it shames the sun

16. If it moves, it makes the branches quiver
If it speaks, it captures souls

17. With seriousness or with madness
Fortune is his and misfortune kisses

18. His riding coat, ravisher of eyes
The rump of the wild cow submits to his side

19. And admits that perfection is his
Passion has adorned her

20. And reddened her white cheeks
In her breast it has lodged its pomegranate

21. The brilliant core pierced her
Her mouth glistened with beauty

22. Why do you not visit him, they ask
Rather than strike with the sword

23. Time is imbued with gloom
So make use of joy while you can

24. Fate will inevitably play out
Whether you endure it or not

25. Endure, even if boredom befalls you
And beseech God as much as you're able

26. No seeker of him is ever denied
Or finds his neighbor closed to him

27. He is angered when you do not seek him
As man is angered by

28. Excess questions which vex him
His gifts overwhelmed me, absolute

29. Bringing me into being and annihilating mankind
He feared no reproach of guardian

30. Nor will his door be crowded
