jaam

Jaam means a cup or goblet, especially one used for wine, derived from Persian 'jaam' (جام). It is one of the most iconic words in Urdu and Persian ghazal poetry, often personified and celebrated. Poets use it to evoke convivial gatherings, toasts to the beloved, and the pleasures of the fleeting moment. Here it is used with warm, humorous affection to mean a round of drinks poured in the departed's memory.
