1. They said you withdrew, though they did not know, and my inclination
In every luxurious abode, the lively of glance, wine’s color in the cup.

2. How could I withdraw when my heart was torn asunder
By the glances of eyes and the hue of wine in the glass?

3. When I withdrew to decency, I was enveloped
By two opinions that preoccupied my ease and my loss.

4. Ease in moderation for the days is overused,
And hardship in bonding with those I love from mankind.

5. There is no good in life but with wine along with
Peers in flowers, goodness, and tumblers.

6. And a singer who chants while cups
Urge us with fifths and sixths.

7. O stirrer of trouble, his cups are exhausted,
Ignite, if you wish, from my heart with tongs.
