Hafez's poem Feb 13, 2017

They are the first lines of a poem by Hafez:

O wine-bearer brighten my cup with the wine
O minstrel say good fortune is now mine.
The face of my Beloved is reflected in my cup
Little you know why with wine, I always myself align.

Thank you, Sasan, but is it translation words written on the bowl?

Persian (ornate and cursive) script on that bowl Mar 3, 2017

Greetings ... privyet...

Sasan's translation of the original pre-modern Persian inscription along the side of that displayed bowl is correct and authentic.

In my humble opinion, Sasan deserves commendation as a real "molodyets" or "dobrii chelovek" for his effort in readin and translating that inscription, as that script is rendered and depicted in the very-old ornate and cursive style ("courtly" would also be an apt descriptor) of literary Persian.
