برخیز بُتا، بیا ز بهر دل ما

حل کن به جمال خویشتن مشکل ما

یک کوزه شراب تا به هم نوش کنیم

زآن پیش که کوزه‌ها کنند از گِل ما

What this poem says

The poet calls to his beloved here, asking her to come for the sake of his loving heart and ease his troubles with her beauty. He also wishes that they might drink wine together before jugs are made from the clay of their graves — that is, before death arrives.

A prose synopsis, not a translation of the verse. Translated from the Persian summary.
