1. The breeze whispers gently like my beloved
As I enjoy its drink in the monastery bell tower

2. It sounds sweeter to my ear
Than rhythmic beats and clamor

3. O finest wine of the vine's bounty
Matching my spirit in its nobility

4. When decanted, its bubbles appear
Like a necklace of stars around the sun's neck

5. Abu Ahmad is a stingy man
Of despicable, shameful character

6. When the peddlers of sodomy arrive
They seek to buy him for a nickel

7. He abandoned bargaining and haggling
And sold himself for a penny
