Thou a Pretty Saaqi
Thou a pretty Saaqi*,
Pour some nectar wine;
By thine supple mina*,
Of ecstatic ardour,
Into my saagar* of platonic yearn;
Thine floret blooming petal lips,
Open wide, invites to kiss;
Odour of incense,
Strew in maikhana*,
Lure to seek the heavenly bliss;
My yearn to consume rises,
Until I wobble in inebriation;
Thou a love in dawn and dusk;
Sun rises on thine gesture,
Moon too shines at dusk,
When you ask;
I praise thine wisdom,
Kneel before thine beauty,
Thine maikhana* is heavenly earth;
*Mina - wine jug
*Saagar - ocean or wine cup,
*Saaqi - wine server
*Maikhana - alehouse, world
