shab nist ki aql dar tahayyur na-shawad
shab niist ki aql dar tahayyur na-shavad
vaz girya kinār-e-man pur-az-dur na-shavad
pur mī-na-shavad kāsa-e-sar az saudā
aañ kaasa ki sar-nigūñ buvad pur na-shavad
No night passes when reason is not bewildered and due to my weeping my lap is not filled up with pearls (of tears); and filled never is the cup of my head with the wine of mad desire, for an inverted cup is never filled.
shab nist ki aql dar tahayyur na-shawad
waz girya kinar-e-man pur-az-dur na-shawad
pur mi-na-shawad kasa-e-sar az sauda
aan kasa ki sar-nigun buwad pur na-shawad
No night passes when reason is not bewildered and due to my weeping my lap is not filled up with pearls (of tears); and filled never is the cup of my head with the wine of mad desire, for an inverted cup is never filled.
