In Praise of the Royal Hall

How pleasant it is, in this blessed hall, to leave a mark and set out a gathering. Remembering the feasts of the young, fortunate king, to sit in joy and give ourselves fully to delight. Like me, to give your heart to wine and the beloved, and open your arms wide to your friends.
Explanation: The poem celebrates a royal reception hall, praising the pleasures of wine, love, and companionship in the king's honor.

شمارهٔ ۱۹ - در وصف ایوان سلطانی گوید

چه خوش باشد در این فرخنده ایوان نشان افزودن و مجلس نهادن
به یاد بزم سلطان جوانبخت نشستن شاد و داد عیش دادن
چو من دل درمی و معشوق بستن به روی دوستان در بر گشادن
