هست این میکده و دعوت عام است اینجا

قسمت باده به اندازهٔ جام است اینجا

This world is a free tavern, and to all who come to it wine is served in accordance with their bowl’s capacity.

2

حرف آن راز که بیگانهٔ صوت است هنوز

از لب جام چکید است و کلام است اینجا

The secret that has not yet been expressed in words has been expressed here in wine’s over-brimming character.

3

نشه از حال بگیرند و گذشتند ز قال

نکتهٔ فلسفه درد ته جام است اینجا

Those who come here get drunk with action and not with mere words. Dregs at the bottom of life’s cup is mere philosophy.

4

ما درین ره نفس دهر برانداخته ایم

آفتاب سحر او لب بام است اینجا

We have endeavoured hard to make life take to action’s path, and now its morning’s sun is near the margin of the sky.

5

ای که تو پاس غلط کردهٔ خود میداری

آنچه پیش تو سکون است خرام است اینجا

O you who try to be consistent with your past mistakes, whatever you regard as rest is here mobility.

6

ما که اندر طلب از خانه برون تاخته ایم

علم را جان بدمیدیم و عمل ساخته ایم

We who have come out to pursue the path of seeking have converted knowledge into action and thus made it live.
