1. Serve it to me, my companion, in secret
Not in the light of dawn, but in candlelight

2. Serve me five drinks from the time I stand
Then when it takes effect, whoever wishes may stay

3. And in remembrance of my beloved, serve me
Not in remembrance of a place now in ruins

4. For his memory despite his estrangement
Alleviates the sorrows of a broken heart

5. He used to meet me long ago as a friend
But after our union set, like the sun

6. The envious ones spoiled my intimacy in their jealousy
Wretched are the envious, in time they are humbled
