Quatrain 140 from Rubaiyat of Saadi Shirazi

Description: English Translation:

Literal:

"We've emptied many full cups,
longing to press our lips to those lips filled with wine.

I fear that suddenly, without the connection to your lips,
our bodies will become empty vessels."

Poetic:

"We've raised countless cups, their hollows deep,
Yearning for your lips, our thirst to keep.

But fear now grips me, lest we lose our breath,
Our bodies empty shells, deprived of death."
