1. O Ali, either today or
Some day in February

2. Spend today in joy
Engaged in merriment

3. Do not neglect us today
Forget about us and be happy

4. I am in a gathering of pleasure
And happiness and cheer

5. Coming down from the Euphrates River
Between a water wheel and canal

6. My dome is the cloud and its
Flowers are the fragrant breeze, my carpet

7. Its leaves are arranged between
Curls and braids

8. Adorned with earrings, the dew
Arranged them and tiny bells

9. And cypress trees at the waist of
A hill filled with gardens and ribbons

10. Like neighbors who got up
For service around the carpets

11. And the air and water in a description of
Laziness and vigor

12. And a boon companion from the elders of
Al-Karkh loosened from restrictions

13. Not seen yet sound of
Opinion, broken in vigor

14. His mother weaned him with
Wine as a child at the trash heap

15. So he is an old man who partakes
In drinking it, what a partaking!

16. What is on it, O advisor
Except every sinner’s wine

17. And a youth from the blond
Tribe like the Coptic garment

18. His companion is tall but
His slender waist is not tied

19. His love has been tied from
The seed of my heart with strings

20. Respond to my judgment on the
Abundance of my worries and discontentment

21. So he is a creature made to
My proposal and stipulation

22. Among large cups
Full ponds and open spaces

23. And jugs like the excellent
Horses of the flock running loose

24. And clamor like the twitter
Of birds around me and mingling

25. And spray, we are amidst
Its scattering and collecting

26. So when will you join me
My happiness will be complete

27. And we will be absorbed with you in the
Path of love, what an absorption!
