1. Wine may increase pleasure for a man,
The beauty of its color and the wit of his companion.

2. Let go of worrying about time and take it -
The delicious flavor from the harvest of its vines.

3. It shone under the darkness of night until
Its cups became a valley of stars.

4. With sweet singing we did without
The artistry of Isaac and Abraham.

5. A draft after draft, so it was like pearls -
Scattered in its prose and poetry.

6. A breeze gentler than the waist of a loved one
And sweeter to the soul than her kiss.

7. My Lord, water the short monastery, for I
Have attained its pleasures and the goodness of its breeze.
