The hungry rabbit jumps!

Drop the wine and drink from Haidar’s Lady,
which is perfumed with ambergris
and is green like chrysolite.

It is offered to you by a well-groomed young man
in the delicate palm of his hand
as if it were a speciel mark on a rosy cheek.

His outstretched hand reminds you
of the tender branches of the elegant plant,
moving softly at the slightest breeze,
disseminating its intoxicating aroma,
conveying to you by way of your nostrils
its exhilarating effect.
No wine or other tonic could generate
such a heavenly sensation.

it is a virgin,
and has not been adulterated by water,
nor has it been trodden by feet
or squeezed by hand.

It has never been mixed in a priest’s chalice.
it was not outlawed by Muslim rulers,
nor was it ever declared unclean by any.

Forget your troubles
and enjoy your indulgence
and don’t leave today’s pleasures for tomorrow
