1. The blamer has no excuse for blaming the wine cup
For I see no evil in the cup

2. Woe to me from people and their blaming
People have never suffered from people

3. With a slender waist and sunken eyes
Yearning for the promise, passing the cup

4. His scarf wrapped around his neck
Circling a cup amongst boon companions

5. Penetrating ears since last night
Under a wreath of myrtle

6. He tucked up his garment to his waist
And urged us on with flagon and cup

7. Long has his estrangement tormented me
Afflicting my heart with disquieting thoughts

8. When his messengers brought me reconciliation
I forgot all that had passed

9. And I have not ceased, while the night cloaks us
With no overseers or guards

10. To complain to the glances of his eyes for what
I suffered from his cruel heart

11. On a night the like of which no night ever was
As long as I live among people
