1. A pitcher with a luster in it, alluring
In its depiction, beautifully decorated

2. Its clarity makes you see it as lightning
Dazzling in its brilliance, luminescent

3. You can see the drinking companions and the cups in it
Yet there are no cups in it, nor drinking companions

4. Its draught has quenched me, making me a stately king
The dew of the palm is more wondrous, more fragrant

5. On the sides of its cups are splashes
As the pure honey oozes freely
