A storm celebrated in our holiday
And the clouds have anointed its face with saffron perfume.
And the clouds shaped its face.

Saffron has not given the hue that
What saffron colored is not what
Earth has given to its waters.
The dust colored from its water.

Its waves course like horses,
Its waves go like an army of horses
Chestnut-colored, making their way through its midst.
Gray in the middle going away.

So hasten to drink before the chance is lost;
So drink up before it's missed-
The water and the wine have cooled.
The water and drink are now cold.
