On the excuse of restraint, the cupbearer says, 'He is the very poet of the end in your heart.'

This couplet captures the delicate balance of love and regret. The 'Saqi' (cupbearer/lover) admits to breaking a promise, yet he immediately turns the focus back to the beloved. He suggests that despite the broken vow, the beloved's heart still burns with an intense, irresistible yearning for the final resolution of their love. It’s a masterful jab—a reminder that desire is stronger than commitment.
