O moon-faced friend, O sugar-speaking musician,

Your voice is life-giving, may you never tire until the day (of judgment).

All profit, all profit, you have increased upon all,

As long as it is thus, may you never tire until the day (of judgment).

A hundred cities have received the news, "O troubled people,"

"The sleeper has awakened," may you never tire until the day (of judgment).

That sedition has awakened, which, when it strikes a taunt,

Makes a breach in the mountain, may you never tire until the day (of judgment).

In the house, such a gathering, in the gathering, such a candle,

I have a desire from you, may you never tire until the day (of judgment).

The leader has come, the leader has come, and that luminous full moon has come,

And that sugar and milk have come, may you never tire until the day (of judgment).

O your cry and melody, fresher and sweeter than the morning breeze,

You take us out of our senses, may you never tire until the day (of judgment).

The gathering is blessed by you, pleasure is alive from your breath,

Like a blazing candle, may you never tire until the day (of judgment).

This sky and earth are a tent, who has seen such a tent?

O pillar of this tent, may you never tire until the day (of judgment).

These people fly because of you, are virgins and children because of you,

Are upside down and right side up because of you, may you never tire until the day (of judgment).

In the sea, like a ship captain, shaking that elephant (the soul),

Until the resting place of the lovers, may you never tire until the day (of judgment).

O sweet-breathed flute player, such a rare youth,

How, with all (this) youthfulness, may you never tire until the day (of judgment).

The tambourine comes from the palm of the hand, the flute from the breath of the intoxicated,

With the flute, all baseness comes, may you never tire until the day (of judgment).

Though we are silent like the soul, how can the soul sleep, O beloved of the soul?

You be our tongue, may you never tire until the day (of judgment).
