man be-mai-e-nab zistan na-tawanam
man be-mai-e-nāb zīstan na-tavānam
be-bāda kashīd bār-e-tan na-tavānam
man banda-e-āñ damam ki saaqī goyad
yak jām-e-digar ba-gīr-o-man na-tavānam
Without the clear wine I find it impossible to live, without liquor I find it impossible to drag about the burden of my physical frame: I am slave to the moment when the Saqi says for another cup of wine and I find myself unable to accept.
man be-mai-e-nab zistan na-tawanam
be-baada kashid bar-e-tan na-tawanam
man banda-e-an damam ki saqi goyad
yak jam-e-digar ba-gir-o-man na-tawanam
Without the clear wine I find it impossible to live, without liquor I find it impossible to drag about the burden of my physical frame: I am slave to the moment when the Saqi says for another cup of wine and I find myself unable to accept.
