That tavern is a scene where every morning, Sheikh sees the sun's joyful head appear upon the wall.
This couplet paints a vivid, intoxicating picture. Mir Taqi Mir describes the tavern (may-khana) not just as a place, but as an overwhelming, perpetual scene of joy. The image of the sun appearing on the wall every morning, with an intoxicated demeanor, suggests that the merriment and the intoxication are constant—they are a natural, unstoppable part of existence. It speaks to a life lived in perpetual celebration, where even the dawn is festive.
