1. I long for both cupbearers, but my heart
Is enamored with the younger of the two.

2. It's not about his shirt he's wearing, but
The one with the tipped cap and dimpled cheeks.

3. The one whom God adorned with beauty,
With a fine brow and elegant eyebrows.

4. He lingers when summoned for a drink
In tranquility, stroking his sideburns.

5. They teased him, though he knew not what they said
In their garb of cloak and waistcloth.

6. They jested at his expense, while he
Retold in justice the tale of both their lives.
