شعرا

بی پشت بود بادۂ سر جوش زندگیآب خضر بگیرم و در ساغر افکنم

There was nothing to fortify life’s effervescent wine: I took some aqua vitae from Khizr and added it.

از منت خضر نتوان کرد سینہ داغآب از جگر بگیرم و در ساغر افکنم

Why should one be obliged to Khizr for his aqua’s loan? I poured a little of my heart’s blood into the wine-cup.

"تا بادہ تلخ تر شود و سینہ ریش تربگدازم آبگینہ و در ساغر افکنم"

To make the wine still bitterer and my chest still more sore, I melted the glass itself and added it to my wine.

آمیزشی کجا گہر پاک او کجااز تاک بادہ گیرم و در ساغر افکنم

How can dilutions be as good as the real stuff itself? I pressed wine out of grapes direct and filled my cup with it.
