If the cupbearer mentioned my praise in the gathering of wine-drinkers, the master of intoxication said, 'Your mouth is foul; thorns will emerge.'

This profound couplet describes the poet's immense influence. When the Saqi mentions the poet's name in the gathering of wine lovers, the master of the tavern reacts with caution. He warns that the poet's mouth is open, and thorns will emerge. This suggests that the poet's words, while intoxicating, are sharp and impactful, capable of revealing deep truths!
