Nr. 153

Calcutta nr. 153

In the season when they give the cry for the wine
Order O Idol that they give wine with music
Of (care of) hell & heaven & houris & palaces
Sit free for that they give with music.

Payne 1898 - 287
In the time when announcement of roses fresh-blossomed for sale they make,
Command that the winecup brimming with liquor, good tale, they make:
Concern not thyself with pavilions and houris, with Heaven and Hell;
For these, of themselves announcement, I trow, without fail they make.

Thompson 1906 - 431
In time when fresh-bloomed roses venders cry.
Give order that the wine-cup be filled high.
Count not pavilions, Houris, Heaven or Hell,
For their existence they will certify.
