Lyrics
**Verse 1:**
O cupbearer, light up our cup with wine's glow,
Tell the musician, the world's work is to our flow.
In the goblet, we've seen the beloved's face reflected,
O unaware, of the joy of our constant drinking, unaffected.
**Chorus:**
Never dies the one whose heart love has revived,
Eternal in the world's ledger, our existence inscribed.
How long will the tall beauties' coquetry and grace last,
When our cypress-like stature strides forth, unsurpassed.
**Verse 2:**
O breeze, if you pass through the garden of friends, take care,
Deliver our message to the beloved, with utmost flair.
Why do you erase our name from memory with intent,
The one forgotten will come, even if from remembrance absent.
**Chorus:**
Never dies the one whose heart love has revived,
Eternal in the world's ledger, our existence inscribed.
How long will the tall beauties' coquetry and grace last,
When our cypress-like stature strides forth, unsurpassed.
**Bridge:**
In the eyes of our charming beloved, drunkenness is sweet,
Hence, they've entrusted the reins to intoxication, so discreet.
I fear on the day of reckoning, it won't be of any use,
The sheikh's lawful bread, from our unlawful water's abuse.
**Verse 3:**
Hafez, from your eyes, scatter tears like seed,
Perhaps the bird of union will fall for our trap indeed.
The emerald sea of the sky and the crescent ship,
Are drowned in the bounty of Haji Qavam's grip.
**Chorus:**
Never dies the one whose heart love has revived,
Eternal in the world's ledger, our existence inscribed.
How long will the tall beauties' coquetry and grace last,
When our cypress-like stature strides forth, unsurpassed.
