His lions have guarded the branch of the dune.
The branch of the wild plum is guarded by its lion
His saliva is sweet—and who can drink of it?
Its drink is sweet and he who wants it

A drinking-place whose approaches are delightful,
Drinks from channels made wholesome by it
Its hailstones frozen in wine.
Though cooled in a goblet, it still enflames

He is my sickness when I lose him,
It is my malady, when I lose it
And the cure for sickness, if I could find him.
And the cure of my malady, when found
