O Cup-bearer!

O Cup-bearer! Give me again that wine of love for Thee; Let me gain the place my soul desires. *** My lyrical vein was all but dried up, still The sheik decrees that, too, should be choked to death. *** No trail now blazes in new fields of thought, But blind slaves of sufies and mullahs survive. *** Who snatched away the piercing sword of love? Knowledge is left with an empty sheath alone. *** With a luminous soul the power of song is life; With a darkened soul that power is eternal death. *** A full moon glistens in Thy brimful cup; Deprive me not of its silver beams at night. _____________ Translated by Naeem Siddiqui
