Rhyme Scheme: AABCDAEFGAHAICJAKA L| Whoever had found his way to the tavern's block | A |
| Would have to be insane if on another door knock | A |
| Fate never crowned any with drunkenness except | B |
| The one who considered this the highest luck | C |
| Whoever finds his way into the tavern | D |
| From the bounty of the wine temple's secrets unlock | A |
| He who read the secrets of this wine | E |
| Found the secrets in the dust upon which we walk | F |
| Only seek the obedience of the insane | G |
| In our creed logic and sanity we mock | A |
| My heart asked not for longevity of beauty | H |
| Because sadly this is the way of the clock | A |
| From the pain of the fading morning star at dawn | I |
| I cried so much that I saw the moon though Venus my eyes struck | C |
| Who talks about the story of Hafiz and his cup | J |
| Why would the king know where the policemen flock | A |
| Praise the King who considers the nine heavens | K |
| A mere crevice in His courtly block | A |
