Wine Song for Spring

The cold season has slipped away like a shadow,
Its rains are always gone, its chariots and its horsemen.
The hills have adorned themselves with turbans of flowers
And the plain has robed itself in tunics of grass and herbs;
It greets our nostrils with the incense
Hidden in its bosom all winter long.

I shall turn to the fountain of my life
Before time returns me to the earth.
If only my soul, which is bent on folly,
had the wisdom to know that it alone is my treasure in this world!
If only my heart would rouse itself and understand my end:
That the very day on which I sleep will be. my awakening--
The day He summons all my deeds to face me,
The day He recalls my spirit and my soul to Himself.

Slumberer! Abandon your tiredness.
Hasten to worship the Rock who preceded all.
As the illuminating stars hasten.
Awaken to see His heavens and the handiwork of His fingers.
And gaze upon the tents of His heights.
--Suspended upon His arms.
Why do you soundly sleep?
Arise and call to your God!

The Lily us telling its Bud:
Wake up! Why are you still asleep?!
There is the wine
And the handsome youth...
The Sweet Basil and
The Tulips are also raising glasses!
The Hyacinth flower
Discretely but sweetly whispered
In the ear of a hidden flower:
Whose gift is all of this
If not bestowed by God?

To dwell with the All-Soul does my soul desire,
Unto the Fountainhead of life aspire;
With longing keen as a consuming fire,
She seeks her holy dwelling by day and night!
With all my soul I long for You in the night.
God's beauty she beholds with the mind's eye,
And without wings, would fly unto Him on high...
Attaining, gazes, mute with ecstasy,
In twilight shadows and in darkest night!
With all my soul I long for You in the night.

Let me open, in the great name of God:
O heart, rise and make yourself humble
For nothing in this world is higher than humility,
And humility belongs to those who are early risers.
The heart says: "Rise and shine!"
But the evil inclination whispers: "In a moment..."
Shake off the evil inclination and get out of bed!
It is time to offer The Almighty your praises.
Every morning, at dawn, the roosters crow in prayer.
How would you know it if you were still asleep?
Only those who are awake know this secret.
O Lord, if I ever may be found worthy,
Let a sleepless night be the reward for my righteousness.
The hour to approach your gate with words of supplication has arrived.

God of awe, God of might,
Grant us pardon in this hour, as Your gates are closed this night.
Our ancestors, strong in faith, walked in Your light
As of old, renew our days, as Your gates are closed this night.
May we all, both old and young, look for gladness and delight
In the many years to come, as Your gates are closed this night.
