The mere news of the cupbearer's arrival was enough to make the entire unaware night pass by.

This beautiful couplet speaks of the agony of anticipation. The poet is saying that the mere news of the beloved's arrival—the 'Saqi' (cupbearer, often symbolizing the lover's joy or intoxication)—was enough to make the night feel lost. The night didn't just pass; it passed *unaware* of the joy that was about to come! It suggests that sometimes, the mere promise of happiness is enough to make the whole passage of time feel suspended and profoundly significant.
