1. Our gathering today was for the memory of happiness
Cups came to us from afar

2. The stars were aligned for it so it prospered
Scattered coins for the country

3. When the wine skin was soaked with water
And its horn brought, blazing

4. And the seat of the wine skin was prepared in it
And voices of companions, chatting

5. The cup bearer brought out a measure
Of matured wine, generously pouring

6. And legs of frozen snow calling out
That no legs had told its story

7. And a lamp and glass that held it
A bottle that brightened the darkness

8. It had a lighter like an added hand
To another in expansion and contraction

9. And a disk in which intimacy thrived
With a halo that shone like a full moon

10. And around it stars like gems
Sprinkled in it, diffusing light

11. That moon was clouded with saffron
Like a professor robed in splendor

12. The cupbearer made its leg smooth
As the wine skin inflamed with passion

13. And a caller called out softly
Fearing harm and corruption

14. He seasoned the pots of his cups and sweetened them
Dressing them in the clothes of mourning
