Maybe this didn’t translate in a way that makes my like poetry... or maybe I just don’t like poetry. I do like how much he partied and wrote about it though

These verses were meant to be read in Persian and recited with acompaniment of lute or some other instrument.
There shows a lack of melody in verses that were not meant to be read in english...
I didn't liked the translation and I was annoyed with many references to parts of Kuran and stories from middle eastern mythology that were unfamilliar to me.

Beneath the flowery language and rhymes and such, he's really pretty much saying, "My gf just left me! Or died! Or maybe she left me! But I really lurrrrrve her, but she doesn't love me, so I'm going to drink. Like, a lot. Like, bring it, guys. I need all the red whine wine I can get! Get those grapes rolling, people! But oh, sadface! The wine is ruby like her lips! MORE WINE SO I CAN FORGET HER!" Etc. etc. ad nauseum. It's pretty much 14th century shoebox poetry.
