1. Hasten to pleasure and cheerfulness
With drink of comfort

2. For the lovesick have no blame
Seize the time of union before parting

3. For the garden was watered by the tears of clouds
And a wondrous secret appeared in the garden

4. Roses, jasmines, and peach blossoms
Whose fragrance wafts like musk

5. And birds sing with diverse melodies
Arise and hasten to the aged wine

6. In its cup appears the hue of carnelian
In the palm of a graceful gazelle

7. Slender in stature, folding its wings
Shining like the full moon

8. I disobeyed my fervor for it
When I saw the night don old age

9. And stars like flowers fell to the horizon
And leaves reveal every wondrous melody

10. I called to my friends when dawn gleamed
Saying clearly:

11. Hail pleasure and cheerfulness!
Glory to Him who originated this firmament

12. I said to Him while the fire filled my chest
Grant me a union, O Fair One, delicate and dewy

13. And he glanced from his eyelids white as hail
Seeking battle

14. And wounded my heart, O people of meaning, with gashes
I awoke afflicted while my heart ailed

15. In love of one who was miserly with my union
How much I said: Leave this prolonged reproach

16. Do you not see me, having cast down arms?
The sweetest love is with disclosure
