1. My despair has become, if decay
Calls out to me, I answer joyfully

2. Joyfully, for I have no ambition on earth
And I see nothing for me after it

3. What is my remaining here now after
I shook off my hands from it today

4. I flee from my despair to my cup that
I bury my living hope in

5. O you who flees from my paradise
Come or bring me wings

6. We cry our youths and cry the wishes
And fall between its arms

7. I am on my despair and my cup like my father
And on my mirage steadfast and my drink

8. And I have finished arguing with wishes
Except a glimmer in the failed ashes

9. A glimmer that makes excuses for me that you will
One day return to my heart before the day of my departure

10. Until when the fates desire and you return to me
I will go back to myself and suspect my rightness

11. Do I see your dawn in the sunset of my dusk
And smell your scent in the withering of my youth

12. Give me a drink and I will drink the secret of sorrow
And the remnants of a torn apart and burned heart

13. Wait my friend, how can one forget their love
Who sings consolation with the mention of them

14. You still give me drink to make me forget love
Until I forgot and did not mention except them

15. There was for us a cup and a tale
This love renewed it and told it

16. Now fog has covered it and here I am
Behind the tragedies and tears seeing it

17. Time has passed, its fog and bubbles are gone
And its dreams and visions evaporated

18. Do not cry, it is gone and its love died
In the heart a space free for others became

19. I loved it and turned its page, and how much
The sensible read a paper and folded it

20. That infant did not enjoy its happiness long
It barely touched the ground with its feet

21. The morning called it to the sands with its call
And the breeze eulogized it at night
