When he handed us the wine, in spite of every envious eye,
we drank it down, whether it ran clear or thick with dregs.
This wine was poured for us; who else would drink it?
The custom of the tavern was set for us alone.

چون باده بما داد،علی رغم حسود
خوردیم،اگرصاف،اگر دردی بود
این باده ز بهر ماست،جز ما که خورد؟
چون رسم شراب خانه بهر مابود
