Ouseley MS 140 - 81
Every draught that the Cup-bearer scatters upon the earth
quenches the fire of anguish in some afflicted eye.
Praise be to God! thou realizest that wine
is a juice that frees thy heart from a hundred pains.
Christensen 1927 - 60
Every draught that the Sáqí sheds upon the earth
stifles the fire of anguish in a burning eye.
God be praised! is then the water that frees thy heart
from a hundred pains nothing but air to thee?

Nicolas 1867 - 188
Chaque gorgée de vin que l'échanson verse dans la coupe vient éteindre dans tes yeux brûlants le feu de tes chagrins. Ne dirait-on pas, à grand Dieu que le vin est un élixir qui chasse de ton cœur cent douleurs qui l'oppressaient?
Payne 1898 - 366
Each draught wherewithal the skinker besprinkleth our clay
The fire of chagrin in the eye of a man doth allay;
Yea, glory to God! an elixir, believe me, is wine,
That an hundred heart-pains from the soul of thee doth away!
Thompson 1906 - 253
Each draught the cupbearer pours on the clay
Its fire of grief in some eye doth allay;
Praise Allah that you see wine is a juice
That takes your hundred pangs of heart away.
Winfield 1883 - 203
The showers of grape-juice, which cupbearers pour,
Quench fires of grief in many a sad heart's core;
Praise be to Allah, who hath sent this balm
To heal sore hearts, and spirits' health restore!
