1. I ransom with my soul the one who visited me after his estrangement
And was kind to me when he saw the effects of his aloofness

2. So I gained through his nearness the pleasures of this world altogether
And the happiest time for me passed in seeing him

3. As if when he stayed up at night playing the strings
They had gained sweetness from the beauty of his melody

4. How good is the cup for the repentant from his hand
Mixed with wine in it and its flavor
