You were left friendless by the one who had no friend in you,
and at ease was the heart that carelessly abandoned you.
From dryness you are like an empty wine cup:
whoever lifts you up is already fallen for you.
Explanation: The wine cup image plays on emptiness and craving: the drinker who reaches for the cup is himself 'fallen', both drunk and undone.

بی یار، کسی که یار نداشت ترا
و آسوده دلی که خیره بگذاشت ترا
از بی آبی بساغر می مانی
کافتادۀ تست هرکه برداشت ترا
