फ़स्ल-ए-गुल के आते ही 'अकबर' हुए बेहोश आप खोलिए आँखों को साहब जाम-ए-सहबा लीजिए
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning

As soon as spring arrived, Akbar, you lost consciousness; open your eyes, sir, and take the cup of wine.

Explanation

Here, the poet playfully captures the overwhelming magic of spring, where the mere sight of blossoms is enough to make a sensitive soul swoon with delight. A companion or cupbearer lovingly teases Akbar for losing his senses so soon, urging him to open his eyes because the real celebration—the cup of wine—is only just being served. It is a charming, lighthearted take on the traditional theme of spring's intoxicating power over the heart.
