O sleeper, while the rose's breeze is awake,
O sleeper, the rose breeze awakens
In the cage's bonds, while the birds lament.
In the cage's dimness, the birds lament

The rose is a guest, so do not neglect the honor due it.
The rose is a guest, do not ignore its grace
And bring wine blazing in the cup.
Bring it coffee in a cup that glows

May rain bless it, a visitor through whom souls come alive.
Quench its thirst as a visitor, souls thrive through it
It generously grants union for a time, then withdraws.
It gives freely for a while, then draws apart

Woe to a freeborn man who saw it while wealthy,
Woe to the free man who saw it with purpose
Yet did not fulfill, by drinking, what was its due.
Yet did not fulfill its right by drinking what is due
