1. The prisoner of worries, remote is my patience
My two eyes converse about his qualities

2. The full moon denied its splendor from his eyes
A branch of acacia gleamed in beauty

3. And belonging to fathers of sincerity
I asked for his hand, the unchained lady

4. So when she poured it in the cup's dish
She narrated to the eye the color of cornelian

5. As if the cup drags the train of a pearl
Wine dressed it in the attire of saffron

6. With a drinking companion, when she sang in a voice
Alto and soprano voices responded to her

7. When I get luxury in my life
And I become safe from tribulations

8. I rode my passions and left my righteousness
The curb of ignorance totally loosened its rein on me

9. Alas! What is old age to me and what is my head
Eyes warded me off but did not protect me
