1. He walked quickly with vigor
And drank the sweetest wine

2. The fragrance wounds my cheeks
And his touch hurts like a whip

3. His radiant face blushed
And his reproach stabbed like a sword

4. The scars on his cheek
Inflicted by the calligrapher's hand

5. He often visited while the land
Spread meadows beneath us like the sky

6. The drinkers' blood was spilled
Now with goblets, now with carpets

7. The ecstasy of wine overflowed
And intoxicated the drinkers greatly

8. It controlled the cupbearers until they obeyed
And allowed union after abstinence

9. Bliss roamed embracing slender waists
Of wild does with delicate belts

10. I will make the belts of those steeds
At times around the waists, at times around the necks

11. I enjoyed life when I saw the hand of dawn
Collecting the pearls of stars

12. The dawn is a child
In the east is its cradle

13. And the mantle of darkness is its swaddling clothes
It dispelled the night with its light

14. So when it shone, its stars faded away
A lucky star rose over people

15. Supreme over the stars
Rising with fortune on the horizon of dusk

16. Live always happily under its influence
Sustenance came to it with its singing

17. While sustenance in others' hands is like a tailor's needle
His grandfather's honor renews every day

18. Rising while its opposite declines
A mountain of patience that almost enslaves

19. The era with determined, firmly pegged resolve
It suited this momentous time

20. While the hands of others fell short
It adorned people with dew, pleasing them

21. With constancy while their sustenance expanded
Its hands are inherently generous

22. The giver is not like the taker
His power in wealth became immense

23. Exceeding all bounds
It surpassed horses past their prime

24. With enduring determination and firm resolve
Wherever he traveled, fate smiled on him

25. While determination held the reins taut
Generosity competed with him in the field of merit

26. Galloping ahead in the first legs of the race
They sought his companionship but the seekers

27. Obtained from his treasure only a carat
The jewels of praise came easily to me about him

28. Arranging themselves in verse like beads
If the finest words contained him

29. Eloquence would make him like earrings
A charm like necklaces, pearls are
