Cupbearer, be gracious, my one and only (O cupbearer, please, my mind is not in my right mind; my foot is tied with the rope of giving up on everything!) My foot, my rose garden (Offer wine; because this is a helpless trouble, while the sea of words has no end Note: The wine the cupbearer wants is inspiration. Here the poet means the heavens by cupbearer. He asks the cupbearer for inspiration and help for his poem) Give me fruit, for this trouble is helpless The sea of fountains is borderless Is there anything left for this pure servant of mine? I will not tell you, but be fair Give me fruit, for the fountain has ended The capital of sorrow has been completed (Now should this endless, clear sea not ripple? Let me tell you, so that you can be fair and tell me) While this difficult thing is still happening (Give me more wine of inspiration, for now words have ended; the capital of sorrow has been exhausted) Give me fruit, oh rose of elegance And ask me what I will tell a story (Give me wine, oh rose of elegance! And ask me what I will tell a story) Translation: Muhammed Nur Doğan/Ötüken Publications.
