1.

At dawn a cry through all the tavern shrilled,
"Arise my brethren of the revellers' guild,
    That I may fill our measures full of wine,
Or e'er the measure of our days be filled."

آمد سحری ندا ز میخانهٔ ما
کای رندِ خراباتیِ دیوانهٔ ما
برخیز که پر کنیم پیمانه ز می
زان پیش که پر کُنند پیمانهٔ ما
