Wine brings relief from ailments and sorrows
The cup, bringing solace from worries and sorrows,
to the spirit of the sand dune, and calls it to rapture.
Awakening the soul of the desert and calling it to joy,

بِغَيرِ كَأسٍ مِنَ الأَنوارِ وَاللَهَبِ
It gleams undiluted in its cup, so you imagine it
Waves within it pure wine, you’d think it was made
made of light and flame, with no cup.
Not of a cup, but of lights and flames,

Until, when mixed, it appears to its drinker
Until when mixed for its drinker, it shines,
as though pressed from a sorrowful person's cheek.
As though it was pressed from the cheek of a melancholy lover.

So drink wine, as though the mixing had fashioned for it
So drink a potion as though the mixing has forged for it
a necklace of pearls in a robe of gold.
A necklace of pearls in a garment of gold.
