1. We were like rods and she made us listen,
While the people prepared and proposed.

2. We drank wine as if its intoxication in it
Was fire in the hands of playful boys.

3. Before us was a narcissus as if in it
Was an embrace of horses who journeyed from a wound.

4. And the people, each adorned their beauty,
Dragging the trains of joy.

5. Until when the cup overflowed with what
They had concealed for the sake of vivacious youth, and I did not reveal.

6. Then her reason sobered up, so for her
There was evil in the advisor and the sober.

7. If she knew knowledge, the first thing
Debased to her would be my mouth.

8. She shouted, so they said chastity disgusted her.
Why, before this, was she not sober?

9. They left innocent, while I dragged myself
From the tail of a man prone to sins.
