1. I rose in a state and went to the cup,
Yet I saw not in what the soul desires from the cup.

2. And one resembling the full moon in the eyes of people,
Except that he is the most witty of people.

3. He gave me wine from his hand and saliva,
So it intoxicated me with two intoxications without a cupbearer.

4. When he is generous to me at the end with a kiss,
I find in it coolness for the heat of my breath.

5. So how many a boon companion do I have, a boon companion to the grave,
And how many a boon companion whom I preceded to the cup.
