1. Rise, O warbler of youth
Sing for us, sing

2. O sweet, O pleasing one
The song of the Jinn

3. And pluck for me grapes
And with them fill my cup

4. With the genius of the rebeck
Or the harem of art

5. Wander in the meadows and valleys
And examine the desert

6. And pour upon every valley
What enchants the heart

7. And the dawn of desires
Echoing and repeating

8. Until you see in the country
A feast day of joy

9. And wipe over the rug
And erase the temple

10. And tread upon the hills
And walk around the shrine

11. And cover the fire of the forest
In the stillness of the tomb

12. And tell the Bedouins
About the splendor of the scene

13. Draw upon my nerves
And paint upon my senses

14. Your awe-inspiring beauty
From the splendor of the rhythm

15. And approach door by door
And sit upon my soul

16. Until the wine dries
On the rim of the cup
