Editorial note — The Thirteenth New Year’s Feast
Alexander Rogers translation
The quatrain is also quoted by Badayūnī, Lowe’s translation, p. 192. The phrase tang-s͟harāb in the third line means “poor drinkers.” Whinfield has ba-yak s͟harāb. But tang-s͟harāb is given in Johnson’s dictionary with the meaning of being easily made drunk, unable to carry much liquor. ↑
