Introduction
Poetry is the best genre to give voice to the experience of pleasure, so the poet embodies this meeting by words, metaphors, symbols, the space from nature and from the wine. The poet writes about pleasure-seeking from his cultural vantage point, by describing how he can live the pleasure and in which ways he found himself by describing a joyful scene.
rom the first part of the third was to how the poet can taste every moment of life in different spaces in connection with the topic of nature, gardens, the wine, love.

These days please me, when the flowers begin to open
When desire begins to consume me, and the violet exhales its fragrance Praised be the one who raised it up among all the flowers
I want to pull it up, uproot it, cultivate it, and it with me to the house
And make something with it, maybe cook with it, and offer it to the moon Spring among the seasons is like Israel among the nations
How beautiful was our gathering by river, with all the winds at play
The turtledove, goldfinch, and the nightingale, O gazelle!
How beautiful were the nights of friendship, of closeness between lovers.
But be strong, my heart, for from union (he lost his way)
I swear, and I mean it: I asked after him with the friend of God
Today my heart has fallen into turbulence, the ocean is between them
How beautiful was our gathering of singing with girls, with tambourines and lutes and delights
Times pass and others come, and the gazelle of the elegant one sleeps beside me… Among the odor of the lavender.

O servant, my love is renewed! when I see the cluster of grapes I rejoice!
My passion arouses me, and I come it and dance
He holds me by the hands of a young Jew, he presses them the grapes for me and I am glad
My reason leaves me when I see him, and my desire for him grows
I love no other like him, O new moon of each festivity
O my companion, awake from your slumber! It is certain that he is renewed Listen to the birds crying out, and the cups are ready for you
See how dawn has broken, it is lighting the branches on fire
The day is shining in the east, and the shadows are going to the west
Listen to the voice of the in trees doing tawashih embroideries Say to Him a blessing, you who fear God
Exalt Him with a blessing, servants of God
Do blessing unto Him, Bless God

The wealth has scattered along with all the assembly- that time has passed!
Get the drink and pour out the wine, both tomorrow morning and in the afternoon Leave behind the one who said, “He says without “ Call for and my spirit.
Life is an hour and life is a dream passed
Live in the moment before the storm hits
Before the Galout which is written upon us

דיק אייאם תעגבני חין יבדה נואר יפתח
חין יבדה עשק ילהמני ולבונפסג פוואח
סבחאן לדי עזהו ען גמיע אנוואר
נוריד נכלעו נזרעו נעמו מעי
רבייע בין פסול כמה ישראיל בין אמם
מה אמלח דלוסנה על ואד וכל ריחאן הוא יעמל
פאכת ומקנין וחדיד ואם חסן יא גזאלה
ממלאח ליאלי מוודה ואנס בין חבאיב בין ריחה כזאמה
לכניה קלבי עמדה ומן וסאל תאהו גאיב נחלף תעאלה נקטף

יא עבאד עשקי מוגדד חין נרה ענקוד נפרח
ויהיג עני גראמי ונגי תחתה ונשטח ונסוק יהודי
פי ידי הוא יעסר לי וננשרח ימדי עקלי חין נראה
וגראמי פיה יזיד אנה מא נעשק סואה
יא הלאל פי כל עיד
יא נדימי קם מן נום לא מוחל אנו מוגדד
אשמע טיור תסיאח וכיווס עליך תעדד
אנתבה ללפגר קד לאח על גסון הוא יותקד
נהאר פי שרק יוגלי ודלאם ללגרב מאשי
ואנתבה לצות חדיד פי שגור יעמל תואשיח

בדד מאל וגמיע חדרה זמאן קד משה
ואסל שרב ואסקוני כמרה בוקר וערב
כלי מן קאל יקול בלה דאעו ונפסי
ועסה אן יכון כמה קד קאל באני חמק ואגב
חיאת שעה ועמר חלם עבר
עיש לחדה קבל מא תגי עאספה
קבל מה יגי גאלות מכתוב עלינה
