1. We drank in the valleys
On those meadows

2. To the laughter of jesters
To the wailing of the chaste

3. To the beating of drums
And the singing of lyricists

4. In the lights of a rose-colored flower
Dressed in the gentlest colors

5. Like peacocks' tails
Like necklaces of pearls

6. Like the necks of vessels
And the cheeks of jugs

7. We drank, so come and see
The drinking of the devoted

8. The drinking of jinn
The drinking of demons

9. At dawn with chasms
At dusk with fires

10. When drunkenness walked
Among us with the gait of moths

11. And we got bored so we swayed
Swaying like snakes

12. We got up and were thrilled
With thrills and melodies

13. With clapping and rhythm
Like the rhythm of tambourines

14. And dancing that snatches the moment
With stirring and calming

15. As if we were treading the necks
With the tips of daggers

16. As if we were, as we hovered,
Men on giraffes

17. When we finished our right
Of that moment

18. We scrambled to the ponds
From atop the shops

19. We swam and thrashed around
Like the thrashing of the insane

20. And we went in two states
Of clay and creation

21. So say in an incident that bringsdecay
Upon the incident of Siffin

22. O you who are my orchard
And the orchard of orchards

23. O you who are my basil
And the basil of basils

24. O musk of India
O perfume of the two abodes

25. O joy of April
O gentleness of October

26. O nightingale, O peacock, O duck of China
O dawn and feast day

27. O feast of Šaʿbān
You greet me, so you give me life

28. You sing to me, so you make me sing
And I show off, so you provide for me

29. And I call you, so you answer me
O sorcerer, how you have enchanted me

30. My eyes and made me ascend
O killer, how you have killed me

31. With love and given me life
You name me tempted

32. And your glances seduce me
How good are my names

33. Except what you name me
You were creative in morals

34. In all creations
As for in rhetoric

35. The book of books
As for in worship

36. The criterion of scales
As for in cunning

37. The demon of demons
In the monastery and pillars

38. From it and the bishops
In the temple and the slaughter

39. No, but with offerings
With crucifixes and incense

40. And the lighting of censers
And Easter and what is performed in it

41. Of dust and mud
And those who attend from rabble

42. And from Ghud and from ʿAyn
Some are in litters

43. And some are in howdahs
Having put on the chains

44. On the sand dunes of Yabrin
And by the Book read

45. With a thrilling recitation
And kinds of laws

46. And kinds of regulations
And in Petra and Esaf

47. Among them and the purple-robed
And those in Mount Thabur

48. And those in Mount Sinai
Owners of shacks

49. Owners of monasteries
Wearing dark cassocks

50. On the blackness of monk's garb
Are you keeping the pact of love with me

51. The keeping of Sanin?
So has love for me increased

52. Or has one who betrayed like a hawk betrayed me?
I do not love anything forbidden -

53. God forbid - in religion
And accursed is only one who

54. Sees the opinion of heretics
