He who seeks finds,
He who seeks not, finds naught,
He who finds, seeks,
He who finds not, seeks naught,
He who tastes, knows,
He who tastes not, knows naught,
Instead of only talking...
...about the celestial wine,
Say nothing, be not an idle talker,
Rather offer it free at your taverns,
Those who cherish it...
...will take goblet after goblet,
And say:
'Have you got a little more? '
As they want inebriation more,
Those who do not, will vomit,
And say:
'We are teetotalers',
They are not fitted for your tavern,
Close the shop of argument;
Close the salon of mysteries;
As only he who tills the field...
...will reap the harvest.
