Wow! I just found the best love poem translation ever!

The orignal persian sappy thing....
گر همچو من افتاده این دام شوی
ای بس که خراب باده و جام شوی
ما عاشق و رند و مست و عالم سوزیم
با ما منشین اگر نـه بدنام شوی

The literal, too literal translation. Check ou the last line!

If like me, you too fall in this trap,
Hold the wine and cup upon your lap.
We are the lovers, burning our tracks,
Join us, if you can put up with the crap.
