O wine of his luscious, lightning-bright mouth,
O wine of his alluring lips like lightning,
The mustache has not made you forbidden; so honor my right.
The drinker has not forbidden you, so grant me my right,

His two lips were a casket of lovely pearls,
His lips were truly sweet nectar,
And the mustache has come as the casket's lid.
And the drinker has come to claim his due.
