1. The breath of wine is the sweetest breath,
Welcome to him who protects it from impurities.

2. When alone drinking it in a gathering,
Restrain your tongue from the faults of people.

3. In the cup there is occupation, and in its pleasures,
Make all your talk centered around the cup.

4. The best companionship is in avoiding harm,
And the wise man chooses the choicest friends.
