1. My inner self is pure and clear,
For its turbidity has settled,

2. And the desires of passion revived me,
For its men have helped me.

3. The path of love refined me,
Its burdens unloaded from me.

4. Passionately lovestruck am I,
For the beloved summoned me.

5. I who have tied my love
To the strongest bond.

6. And in love alone I live,
A leader for those who love.

7. So keep, o brother of longing, my vow
And serve the delicious wine,

8. That the sweet talk may be pleasant,
If union is realized.

9. O companion call out with joy
And discard the blaming of the separatists,

10. And drink the wine of love
For that is the sweetest springs.

11. And sever all kinship,
That the beloved may join.

12. Longing is no use,
For love is hard to attain.

13. Melt in passion for beauty,
And stay up if it shows itself.

14. Sleep soundly if passion comes by
And replace sleep with wakefulness.

15. To one who blames, say hello,
If he starts blaming.

16. Proclaim this, do not hide it,
If his beauty reveals itself.
