1. Prepare the cup and lute,
That is "Komu," far sighted,

2. And sing out, my thoughts,
The journey's rug has been folded,

3. And the garden of wishes has come near,
And settled next to it, the abode,

4. We have been resurrected by it to
An unexpected promise,

5. In an evening as though it were
An old man's dream of youth,

6. The lakes and mountains dressed
In trees and obscured in mist and shone in moonlight,

7. "Le Borne" awake, dressed
In the garment of vigil,

8. Above it the countries were scattered
As flowers are scattered,

9. And we crossed its expanses,
And it gestured to the one who crossed,

10. Wants to ride danger,
We soared intoxicated to its narcotic

11. Flocks followed by flocks
In hovering glass,

12. No smoke or sparks,
Space carries us beyond

13. On green silk,
A ladder resembling a filmstrip

14. Rising to vision,
To the star we climb

15. And down to the clouds we slope,
And we landed on a summit

16. Beyond which is the summit of thought,
Delight in its treasures

17. Reserved for lovers,
Babylon? Or a lake?

18. Or palaces of pearls?
Or visions of eternity in life

19. Personified for humankind?
How lovely were its evenings

20. And yearning for the first times
And craving for the sailboat

21. Prepared for the journey,
The hearts forgot their worries

22. And shone for conversation,
Faces bloomed like flowers

23. In summer bloomed for rain,
Features of sacrifice,

24. Crescents of pleasure,
They glow with youth

25. And beckon with adventure,
A rising that brings joy to the miserable

26. And gives him life,
It grants good fortune to whomever it wants

27. And keeps, and does not refuse,
Heaven looks only at these images

28. To see God a skilled creator, a miracle worker,
Poet of the Nile sail it,

29. Sing every innovation,
Thirty passed

30. In nonsense and nonsense,
So be provisioned by bliss

31. For your other days,
Where is the valley of palm trees, or

32. Its treasures of Cairo?
Do not say: the land is fertile,

33. For here the stone has bloomed!!
And inspires whoever felt!!

34. Oh, if not for loved ones
Who disembarked on the river bank,

35. And pure companions
And generous conduct,

36. I would wish for a balcony
For me among these rocks,

37. To spend my life next to it
Without diverting my gaze,

38. For he who saw has won
And he who grasped has lived,

39. O daughter of the new world, pray for a dusty world
In my blood the spirit of the Bedouin and the settled,

40. And songs for whoever sang
And meanings for whoever took pride,

41. What makes you happy? Speak!
For in your eye is the news,

42. Caution does not benefit them,
We are two raging souls,

43. And two bodies of hell,
So forgive the soul if it transgresses,

44. And forgive the body if it avenges!
The wine of Babylon is gone

45. And the cup has fallen and shattered,
And here is the vine of eternity, so blessed is he who squeezed

46. Why, while the spring is flowing,
Does the thirsty one complain of chest pain?

47. And for whom are these houris
Immersed in splendor?

48. They frolic playfully with prohibition
Like a child playing with a toy,

49. Purer than meteors
And more hidden than destiny,

50. And for whom do breasts quiver
And hair cascade?

51. Each intimacy for its intimacy
Has ambitions for the chest and took it forcefully,

52. It bit into the garment and complained
Of the coarseness of fabric and fur,

53. The trait of the tortured bird in its cage,
In it, it pecked,

54. And for whom has the smile bloomed
And the hair cascaded?

55. Ripe fruit ready for harvest
How can we not pluck the fruit?

56. Adam did not refuse immortality
Or go astray in it or stumble!

57. A slip that inflicts shame
And shows God who blasphemed!

58. Our cup, laughing bubbles,
Filtered of sediment,

59. So pour the wine and sip it
To the melody of the lute,

60. And if you want, let me sip it
To the rhythm of rain,

61. For tomorrow youth will leave
And memories will remain for us!
