1. Turn a cup of wine between sorrow and bankruptcy
Succeed like wise Solomon in winning Bilqis

2. For there is no companionship but from a loving cup
And eyes in which the deceit of Iblis is sweet

3. Will you forbid me from drinking it in my gloom
For in wine there is distraction from fraud and guile

4. If you tell me that drinking is but loss
I accept it, for the loss is from my purse
