They say that there will be heaven & the reservoir of Kausar
There there will be pure wine & honey & sugar
Fill the wine cup & place it in my hand
Cash is better than 1000 credits
Heron-Allen 1899 - 13b
They say that there will be heaven and the Fount of Kausar,
That there, there will be pure wine and honey and sugar,
F'ill up the wine-cup and place it in my hand,
(For) ready cash is better than a thousand credits.
Nicolas 1867 -169
On prétend qu'il existe un paradis où sont des houris, où coule le Kooucer, où se trouve du vin limpide, du miel, du sucre; oh! remplis vite une coupe de vin et mets-la moi en main, car uneve jouissance présente vaut mille jouissances futures!
Payne 1898 - 300
They say that Heaven and Kauthir and Hour exist indeed,
That there is honeyed wine for the piëtist indeed;
Fill up the winecup, skinker; for better far for me
Than twenty birds in bush is one in fist indeed.
Thompson 1906 - 478
Heaven, Houris, Kausar's fount exist, they say.
And there pure wine and honeyed sweets have they;
Fill up and pass the cup! For better cash
Than is a thousand promises to pay.
