1. I bear witness before God and the righteous angels
And the worshippers, people of virtue

2. That I long to hear music and drink wine
And to bite the cheeks of the juicy fruits

3. And to have a generous drinking companion and a servant
Who runs to serve me drinks

4. Who understands hints and signs with just a wink
And pours liberally as the winds blow

5. And a witty conversationalist and a playful teaser
Swaying in the trailing robes
