Calcutta nr. 290

Leave alone O heart anxiety of the passing science
From your existence let everything be like that
Sitting while I like a foolish Kalandar
Be independent, drink wine & be happy

Payne 1898 - 498
With the counsels of every-day prudence, O heart, dispense;
Thyself. like to Him, abstract from this world of sense:
At the feast of the Devotees of Meaning I sit;
Fare free and drink wine; live happy, ere thou go hence.

Thompson 1906 - 802
Counsels of prudence O Heart, never heed!
Let self like Him from bonds of sense be freed!
Sit at the Feast of Meaning's kalenders;
Quaff wine ! Live gaily and be free indeed!
