I see the flower of the age angry with wine.
I see the flower of time, my anger at the dew
And wine’s haughty bloom seeks no reconciliation.
And the mighty dew flower does not seek peace

And if she opened her mouth and sucked its bubbles,
If it opened its mouth and sucked its pollen
It would grow sweet, and she would be neither blamed nor reproached.
It would be sweet and blameless, no longer pestered

So, O Layla’s cheek, teach wine delicacy,
So, O Laila's cheek, teach the wind tenderness
And O Layla’s mouth, teach the flower bud to open.
And O Laila's lips, teach the purse pride’s opening
