Nasha-ha shaadaab-rang o saaz-ha mast-e-tarab
19th Century Mirza Ghalib UrduThe spirits glow with vibrant hues, the strings are drunk with bliss; The flask of wine, a cypress green with grace, in melody's embrace.
Friend, do not say my grief profanes this fellowship of joy, For here, my sorrow finds its proper place, in melody's embrace.
