مست شدم ای ساقی

I am drunk, O cupbearer — I am drunk, O cupbearer I am drunk from wine — make this night beautiful, O cupbearer Rise up and set the gathering in uproar tonight

O cupbearer, you made me drunk with one sip of wine Pour another — for you have turned me to a kebab Pour the purple wine in the cup So together we drain them slowly, slowly

The tax-collector came unaware and struck at wine and vessel He threw a stone at our glass and struck the whole world

Mast shodam saqi, mast shodam saqi Mastam az may bekon ay saqi zeba imshab Qad bar afrazo bekon walwala barpaa imshab

Saqia mast ze yak jorha sharabam kardi Rez yak jorhaye degar ke kababam kardi Sharabe arghawani rez dar jam Ke ba-ham sarkashem aram aram

Mohtaseb bekhabar amad ba may o meena zad Sang bar sheeshaye ma o hamage donya zad Bego ba yar kare moshkele man Peyala sazad az aab o gele man

Mohtaseb ma hama ra dast o sar o paa shekanad Ay khosh aan sar ke bajaye meena shekanad Kharidare mayam har ja ke hastam Ke man ta zenda astam may meparastam
