Earnestness preceded us, love descended upon us

Love dwelled within us, so we settled and remained

The time of sobriety is regret, the time of intoxication is honor

The danger of love is safety, so we were seduced and perished

He gave us to drink, captivated us, cherished us, and cared for us

And from the unseen he came to us, so he called us and we came

So we found him a companion, a refuge, and a path

And a drink and a nectar, so he gave us to drink and we gave him to drink

The love of speech is true, the generosity of the unseen is continuous

And from behind he rose high, so he fulfilled his promise to us and we fulfilled our promise to him

The one who knocks filled a cup, the cup chased away drowsiness

The cradle of intoxication is the foundation, and upon that we built

So we saw modest women and beautiful singers

Lamps in the darkness, so we were amazed and we fell in love

So we looked in awe, we thanked, and we became intoxicated

And from intoxication we crossed over, the lesson sufficed as our adornment

So we returned in ease, and my Lord has a firm decision

And we narrated to those who walked and we witnessed and came to him
