بہ خود باز آورد رند کہن را
English title: I offer you a strange, new kind of wine
بہ خود باز آورد رند کہن رامی برنا کہ من در جام کردم
The wine I poured in the goblet, so young and fine —
Revived the spirit of the old reveller, made him once again shine.
پرانے مست (شرابی) کو اپنے آپ میں لوٹا لاتی ہے (دوبارہ ہوش میں لے آتی ہے) ۔ وہ نئی جوان شراب جو میں نے پیالے میں بھری ہے
من این می چون مغان دور پیشینز چشم مست ساقی وام کردم
Like the wise Magi of ancient times, I confess —
This wine I borrowed from the gaze of the cupbearer, in sweet excess.
اگلے وقتوں کے شراب سازوں کی طرح میں نے یہ شراب ساقی کی متوالی آنکھوں سے مستعار لی ہے ۔
