1. Arise and pour me some of your fine wine
A cup that illuminates the darkness

2. Spend from the gold you were given
If you are one who spends

3. Our cups are nothing but the driving rain
Watering us and overflowing

4. Inhale the intoxicating scent
Of the shining chalice’s froth

5. Steal away with us these days
For days steal away the years

6. A wedding feast is naught
But joy making merry

7. Burn my worries with it
For you who burn what burns

8. Staying by the fire of cups
Cease the fire of soaring

9. Hush, for the lute speaks
More sweetly than your speech

10. Thrumming at the touch
Or knocking for leave, weary

11. See it a withered wood?
Nay, with trembling it leafs anew

12. Shredding veils from us
Its name is none but Shredder

13. Have you seen aught fairer
Than the lute’s song as night falls?

14. As if in the gloaming’s hand
Song bursts and cracks

15. The stars slope, bruised
From their rosy hue, anxious

16. And dawn on the horizon
Says, as the sun says, I rise

17. The sun believes in the miracle
Of her nascent light, true

18. The spray of the tumultuous sea
In its battles drowns the sun

19. When the speaker says of it
All who hear believe him

20. Say what you will, and more
You are steadfast and true

21. Be generous, none but you
Glean jewels or forge them

22. Hang necklaces of pearls
On pens competing to hang them

23. And merchants gained jewels and poets spent
Exhausting its abundant wealth, so closed

24. As if each praising you
Brays while you bleat with wealth

25. The branch bears fruit, earth bears
A plant, and the vein flows full

26. O you who visit generosity
Ever overflowing when you give

27. The clouds claim the dew
Your right refutes anddispels
