1. O time, with it we stand in safety
From the vicissitudes of time, every instant

2. With a beauty who gives her intimacy to none
Other than the pourers of the pure wine, at times

3. Have those who blame despaired of us, because we
Are safe from the loss of some safety

4. So both of us are in a garden of intimacy
And the harvest of the two gardens is intimate companionship

5. So he took from the wine long draughts
Tempered by chastity, far from wildness

6. Then he intended the words of books for a while
That we may experience through them strange meanings

7. And clarify obscurities that were hidden
In issues we explain the magic of rhetoric

8. If I want other than my religion it appears
Its cheek from it a rose like paint

9. I do not loosen the rein towards other than it
From its passion and I have no second to it

10. What I have heard of it suffices me instead
Of my hearing from the singers beating timber
