Eid Mubarak!
“Cupbearer, come here!
Get this sleep
out of my head!
Give pure wine
to the sincere lover!
If I take
my morning drink
from the paradisal spring
of Kawthar,
It will be
sanctioned
by the faith,
even if
all hell
breaks loose!
(By Nizami-e Ganjavi, translated by A. Godlas 2016)
بيا ساقى از سر بنه خواب را مى ناب ده عاشق ناب را
صبوحى اگر آب كوثر كنم حلال است اگر تا بمحشر کنم
