1. Life's pleasure lies in intimate companions,
Not in squatting with the heavy-drinking crew.

2. On parting days, bright clouds themselves would weep
To see the like of us fade from their view.

3. Leave me to what gives joy and my desire
Lest punishment should come on the Day dire.

4. So let me be - to what most joy I hold,
And on Judgement Day cast me in that molten gold.
