1. The light of my eyes visited me today,
And yesterday he turned away from me.

2. I have no wine to offer him,
And he is not satisfied with that from me.

3. So be generous with us with half a cup,
A third of a cup, a quarter of a cup.

4. Do not deny my lies and insults,
For I am a poet and singer.

5. If only two conditions allied a king
Fulfilling every art.
