with her I tasted an intoxicating wine
a wine that was from her eyes into me
one made from her innocent face, eyes
now no other wine can be intoxicating
no other wine can match her eyes
and then she decides to stay away
and keep me wanting for her more
O beloved, I never told you this
but there is no cure for me now
am drunk with that heavenly nectar
that flows through you onto me
and brings with it glory of life
holding with it light from your face
to brighten darkness of my heart
and yet you stay far, depriving me
of both life and my wine to forget it
O Love, this world has forgetten
then to make a better glass of nectar
how do I drink from any other cup
when cup you brought had your color
where else can a cup have that color
where else can a cup have that grace
hold it and you behold me without touch
drop it and you kill me without sword
come and give me your embrace again
let me be drunk forever in your arms
and have the wine of yours in viens
running inside me instead of blood
and then even if the priests, pundits
throw me out of temples or churches
I would have no regrets for the same
for I would have got my beloved, god
a wine that was from her eyes into me
