1. And a companion whose every companion thrives
When he inclines towards fortune's favor

2. A paragon of creation is his nature
Who gives his best wine for the finest price

3. A moon in deepest darkness, a rain for barren land
A mine of generosity shaken by favors

4. Refined, glorious, a brother of benevolence
An honorable man hoped for in times of strife

5. You'll always find him a martyr of revelry
Preparing a cup with robes for the companions

6. I called him while darkness hung heavy
And faint dawn had yet to be seen

7. Arise my friend, to the wine, so that
You may dispel the armies of sorrow from us

8. He answered me only with murmuring
That nearly escapes the keen youth's notice

9. I continued to entreat him with charms
Until the cloud over him began to lift

10. Then he sang to me in musical delight
"Oh wind what will you do with the tailor shop?"
