As Josh points out, the first line of 49,1 has been repeated as the second line of this last verse, thus providing an unusual sense of circularity and closure. In this respect too, as in the substantialness and influence of its refrain, this ghazal is unique in the whole divan . For more on this kind of repetition, see 49,1 . For the 'senses to take flight', meaning 'to become confounded, confused, senseless' is a well-established idiomatic expression (see the definition above). As usual in such cases, Ghalib uses the expression in both this colloquial sense, and its dictionary sense: the senses literally 'take flight' because the wave of wine would be 'wing-opening' and would fly off with them. 'My senses take flight' is in any case a fine way to end such a sensuous ghazal, one so full of soaring and intoxication. The speaker faints, he swoons, he loses his senses-- because he has seen the glory/appearance, the , of the rose. (This reading takes as a colloquially shortened form of .) Or else, feeling himself losing his senses, he urges himself to make the glory of the rose the last sight to be fixed in his eyes. (This reading takes as an intimate imperative.) As Baqir observes, the structure of the line easily lends itself to both interpretations; though perhaps the former has a slight edge, since it doesn't require a change in subject from first person to second person in the course of the line. Note for grammar fans: Here's one more case in which we're one step further in the past in Urdu than we would be in English. Because of the present-tense verb [] in the first line, in normal English the second line would be 'the time has come'. My translation sticks with the literal Urdu, as usual; but the clunkiness in English is very obvious. For more on this, see 38,1 . graphics/rosewine.jpg
