Saqi

pita hun jitni utni hi badhti hai tishnagi saqi ne jaise pyas mila di sharab mein

halka halka surur hai saqi

halka halka surur hai saaqi baat koi zarur hai saaqi teri ankhon ko kar diya sajda mera pahla qusur hai saaqi tere rukh par hai ye pareshani ik andhere men nuur hai saaqi teri ankhen kisi ko kya dengi apna apna surur hai saaqi piine valon ko bhi nahin maalum mai-kada kitni duur hai saaqi halka halka surur hai saqi baat koi zarur hai saqi teri aankhon ko kar diya sajda mera pahla qusur hai saqi tere rukh par hai ye pareshani ek andhere mein nur hai saqi teri aankhen kisi ko kya dengi apna apna surur hai saqi pine walon ko bhi nahin malum mai-kada kitni dur hai saqi

ijazat ho to main tasdiq kar lun teri zulfon se suna hai zindagi ek khub-surat dam hai saqi

ek jam khanakta jam ki saqi raat guzarne wali hai

ik jaam khanakta jaam ki saaqi raat guzarne vaali hai ik hosh-ruba inaam ki saaqi raat guzarne vaali hai vo dekh sitaron ke moti har aan bikharte jaate hain aflak pe hai kohram ki saaqi raat guzarne vaali hai go dekh chuka huun pahle bhi nazzara dariya-noshi ka ek aur sala-e-am ki saaqi raat guzarne vaali hai ye vaqt nahin hai baton ka palkon ke saae kaam men la ilham koi ilham ki saaqi raat guzarne vaali hai mad-hoshi men ehsas ke unche ziine se gir jaane de is vaqt na mujh ko thaam ki saaqi raat guzarne vaali hai ek jam khanakta jam ki saqi raat guzarne wali hai ek hosh-ruba inam ki saqi raat guzarne wali hai wo dekh sitaron ke moti har aan bikharte jate hain aflak pe hai kohram ki saqi raat guzarne wali hai go dekh chuka hun pahle bhi nazzara dariya-noshi ka ek aur sala-e-am ki saqi raat guzarne wali hai ye waqt nahin hai baaton ka palkon ke sae kaam mein la ilham koi ilham ki saqi raat guzarne wali hai mad-hoshi mein ehsas ke unche zine se gir jaane de is waqt na mujh ko tham ki saqi raat guzarne wali hai

baat saqi ki na tali jaegi kar ke tauba tod dali jaegi the wishes of my saaqii i will not ignore the vow of abstinence i take, will forthwith abjure

tez hai aaj dard-e-dil saqi talkhi-e-mai ko tez-tar kar de

kisi ki bazm ke haalat ne samjha diya mujh ko ki jab saqi nahin apna to mai apni na jam apna

azan ho rahi hai pila jald saqi ibaadat karen aaj makhmur ho kar tis the call to prayer, hasten, pour me wine today inebriated, i'll worship the divine

koi samjhae ki kya rang hai maikhane ka aankh saqi ki uthe nam ho paimane ka

aata hai ji mein saqi-e-mah-wash pe bar bar lab chum lun tera lab-e-paimana chhod kar

ye dushmani hai saqi ya dosti hai saqi auron ko jam dena mujh ko dikha dikha ke

zaban-e-hosh se ye kufr sarzad ho nahin sakta main kaise bin piye le lun khuda ka nam ai saqi

sharab band ho saqi ke bas ki baat nahin tamam shahar hai do chaar das ki baat nahin

fareb-e-saqi-e-mahfil na puchhiye 'majruh' sharab ek hai badle hue hain paimane

saqi tujhe ek thodi si taklif to hogi saghar ko zara tham main kuchh soch raha hun

ruh kis mast ki pyasi gai mai-khane se mai udi jati hai saqi tere paimane se the poet wonders how anyone could depart unsatisfied from the wine-house—suggesting an intense, almost spiritual thirst. in the second line, he flatters the saqi: the cup (and the saqi’s charm) is so powerful that wine cannot stay in it, as if it vanishes instantly. wine and tavern stand for pleasure and mystical ecstasy, while thirst points to an unending desire that no amount can fully quench.

saqi mere bhi dil ki taraf tuk nigah kar lab-tishna teri bazm mein ye jam rah gaya

asar na puchhiye saqi ki mast aankhon ka ye dekhiye ki koi hoshyar baqi hai

chashm-e-saqi mujhe har gam pe yaad aati hai rasta bhul na jaun kahin maikhane ka

waiz ki aankhen khul gain pite hi saqiya ye jam-e-mai tha ya koi dariya-e-nur tha

dard-e-sar hai khumar se mujh ko jald le kar sharab aa saqi

saqi ne nigahon se pila di hai ghazab ki rindan-e-azal dekhiye kab hosh mein aaen

mast karna hai to khud munh se laga de saqi tu pilaega kahan tak mujhe paimane se if you want me merry let me sip on your lips divine for how long, in goblets pray, will you serve me wine
