Djalāl ad-Dīn Rûmî - O Cupbearer

 

 

 Who am I that I could listen to advice.

O Cupbearer?

Turn the wine glasses, O Cupbearer.

Pour the wine for our Soul

Which adds Soul to our Soul. O Cupbearer.

0 Cupbearer who holds Lovers by their hands,

The One who helps Lovers,

Give the glass of Soul for my hand.

Keep it away from the stranger's lips.

Offer it to me seeretly.

Give the bread to bread eaters.

Give the loaf of bread

To those greedy. helpless ones.

Bread's lovers

Dont deserve Your treasure. O Cupbearer.

O the One who becomes Soul to the Soul of Soul.

We didn't come here to eat bread.

Jump. Get up. Don't put on a poor face

At the assembly of the Sultan.

Just take this big glass

And offer it to that old man.

Once the old man of the village gets drunk,

Go to the side of the drunks, O Cupbearer

O Cupbearer.

Whose favor and kindness are expected,

Be quick. offer more and more.

Where is bashfulness? Where is the drunk?

If you are shy, pour one glass

Over the head of shyness.

Get up. O Cupbearer.

Come, O One who is the enemy of bashfulness.

Come to us with a smile,

So our fortune will smile. O Cupbearer.
