Sol 5.6

  1. The meadow is robed in green brocade,

    and the sky wears a dusky farajiyya cloak.

  2. Spring has strung around the earth’s neck

    a necklace of yellow blossoms and red;

  3. and the wine—spring has strung its carnelian

    with pearls of bubbles—spring, the jeweler of water.

  4. Then seek its Riḍwān’s favor through drinking, if

    you wish to dwell in Paradise won in the Bargain.
