1. I have abandoned the evils of worldly pleasures,
And weaned myself from drinking after infancy.

2. But how can I remain steadfast in repentance
When my nature has defeated the fasting month?

3. The crescent moon of nightfall arrives
With remnants of its illumination beneath the veil.

4. So arise, we will receive it as a guest,
A creeping vine whose grapes we pick after weaning.

5. The one with beautiful eyes circulates around it
We were drunk with his eyes before the wine.

6. I have won over his waist what his
Glances had won over me of illness.

7. I poured for him while still in the days of youth,
For him in blossoming there is the age of a lad.

8. May God maintain a covenant of youth now passed
Even if the reins are not held for us.

9. And keep for us your everlasting eternity,
And with it the good memory of generous men.
