Translating a Hindi Poem

Please help me with my translation. The original text is in the left column, and my translation is in the right column. : )

भावुकता अंगूर लता से From the grape-vine of sentiment
खींच कल्पना की हाला, Extract the wine of imagination,
कवि साक़ी बनकर आया है The poet, having become the cup bearer, has arrived
भरकर कविता का प्याला; Filling the cup of poetry;

कभी न कणभर खाली होगा, Not even a single drop will be empty
लाख पिएँ, दो लाख पिएँ! Drink one hundred thousand drops, drink two hundred thousand!
पाठकगण है पीनेवाले My beloved readers are the patrons
पुस्तक मेरी मधुशाला। The book is my tavern.
