1. The one who calls me from the yard disturbs me
So I said, a generous horse of pure breed

2. A sword over enemies going to and fro
And a king with a frowning face ever indignant

3. I came to you traversing the earth far and wide
Like lightning on a skinny horse I dashed and glided

4. So he said what do you want, I said cheerfulness
That would dispel the worries of every sullen squatter

5. He said yes I have a chalice of generosity
Like the cheeks of the beloved with perfect features

6. And he brought forth a maiden fairer than wishes
Like the rising sun or embers brightly kindled

7. When blended it showed bubbles as if they were
A necklace in a bowl of silver finely dappled

8. I took it in and it was life for a garden
Where the promenaders walked enjoying its riches

9. As if the fresh spring in it were sweet perfumes
Molded from chrysolite on branches of emerald

10. As if the dripping drops and blooms were shedding
Tears of joy over rosy cheeks a-trickling

11. Adorned it is with a scatter that shines like gems
Spread over the meadows strewn far and wide

12. And its birds sing to entertain the boon companion
Of the melody of lute and flute so well guided

13. Its narcissi amid the daisies rear their heads
Reflecting the gaze of the enamored mild

14. So I kept drawing its life with the ewer
From the lowly world mid the hills in revolt

15. And drank it until I swayed inebriated
Laid down intoxicated by the singing doves

16. I am the one who lives taking joy as my guide
And turns away from refuting each skeptic derided
