1. After hardship comes ease -
A relief that gladdens hearts and brings joy,

2. That removes the thorns from our sides,
That dispels sorrows and distress,

3. That heals the heart’s wounds and pains,
That reveals the secret wishes of the soul.

4. When lovers meet alone,
They must share their goblets.

5. One teaches, the other learns at times,
Never tiring, night or day.

6. Confiding my secrets gives my heart rest,
So make our meeting a comfort.

7. I hate those who surrender themselves
To their enemies and fault them if they speak.
