1. Neglect not life's pleasures, and hand me reddish coffee like flame
More delicious and sweeter for its drinker

2. Than happiness after long despair for the melancholy one
Protected since before time, none could tally the ages it consumed

3. Safeguarded, no accident disgraced it
Nor did the knocker of misfortune trespass upon it

4. Time's spinning left of its body only
A light embodied in water and grapes

5. A virgin, when the pourer called it, it promised
In its vessels double weakness, so it loved not

6. It flowed, eyes grasped not its flowing
When poured, no illusion without fatigue

7. Did night's wings cloak while the morning returned
As though the sun had not set

8. If blending it for the repentant dressed it
Upon cups with crowns of grains

9. Then delight in it, safe from every affliction
Sing and drink, hasten the cup and choose

10. See not the shining sprinkle sprinkled
Like crosses of amber, bent sticks of eaglewood

11. As though after blending the wine is a prostration
Or the cheek of a captive lad in the hand of hardship

12. The garden laughs and flowers bloom
The narcissi come in wonder

13. As though it is moist pearls cracked in
Branches of turquoise from purest gold
