1. Oh singer, sing for me,
And fill my cup and quench my thirst.

2. Rise for us, oh cupbearer, and pour,
Despite the call to prayer from the muezzin.

3. The air has become dark
With clouds full of rain.

4. And the morning shone like
Good news on a benefactor's face.

5. Take it, oh singer, and bring it to me,
And prepare it for me and make it beautiful.

6. I’m desperate and anguished,
So serve it to me, that it may soothe me,

7. With wine that is like
The heart of a true believer.

8. It is the only light, and anything
Other than it is extinguished light.

9. A coffee with delight
In hearts and eyes.

10. It made a promise and kept
Whatever you wished in the bottom of its storage.

11. So when you get it,
Name it for me and name me.

12. Raising the veil between us,
Do not think I am...

13. Free me from pretentiousness
For the people or from making myself up.

14. By my life, I am wary
Of the excess of this ornamentation.

15. My master, after this and that,
Give me, tell me, and explain.

16. Whatever pleased you of acceptance
You are not insignificant to me.

17. I have a lover, and if I
Do not name him, take heed.

18. One day he visits me,
A blessed and decorated day.

19. He is a full moon to one who seeks him.
He is a branch to one who picks him.

20. My reproacher in it, do not be long.
I do not need my reproacher.

21. I do not listen or understand.
Free me from you, free me.
