[1]  Saki murshid with the light of wine divine love up - kindle the cup of the heart of ours .
Minstrel murshid speak ,saying The world's work hath gone agreeably to the desire of' ours .

[2]   In the cup of the heart we have beheld the reflection of the face of the Beloved God
O thou void of knowledge of the joy of the perpetual wine - drinking of ours .

[3]   Never dieth that one ,whose heart is alive with true love to God
On the world's record ,is written the everlasting existence of ours .

[4]   The coy glance and the grace of those straight of stature illusory beloved ones is only till
With grace ,moving like a lofty pine - tree ,cometh the cypress the true Beloved of ours .

[5]   O breeze if thou pass by the rose - bed of beloved ones ,
Take care present to the beloved the murshid the message of ours .

[6]   O breeze from thy memory ,our name why purposely takest thou
Itself forgetfulness cometh ,when after death cometh no recollection of ours .

[7]   To the eye of our heart - binding beloved the murshid pleasing is intoxication
For that reason ,to intoxication they Fate and Destiny have given the rein of ours .

[8]   On the day of up - rising the resurrection I fear ,a profit taketh not .
The lawful bread piety of the shaikh ,more than the unlawful water wine of love of ours .

[9]   Hafiz from thy eye ,keep shedding a tear - drop
It may be ,that the bird of union may attempt the snare of ours .

[10]   The green blue sea of sky ,and the bark of the new moon the mysteries of the sphere
Are immersed'in the favour of Haji Kivam the murshid of ours .

[11]   Like the tulip ,in the cold air of love my heart was caught contracted
O bird of fortune Beloved of the soul when wilt thou go into the snare drawings of love of ours

[1]  Schenk! erleucht' mit dem Licht des Weins den Becher,Sänger singe; nun geht's nach unsern Wünschen.

[2]  Ich erblick im Pokal der Wangen Abglanz.Wiß es, der du nichts weißt vom Glück des Trinkens.

[3]  Wessen Zunge die Lieb' beseelet, stirbt nicht.Ewig bleibet mein Ruhm im Weltenbuche.

[4]  Dieser Schmächtigen Reiz gefällt so lang nur,Bis sich meine Cypreß mit Schwanken nahet.

[5]  Ostwind, gehst du vorbei beim Rosenhaine,Gieb doch Kunde von mir dem treuen Freunde.

[7]  Rausch und Trunkenheit ziemt dem Aug des Freundes;Deßhalb raubt mir der Rausch so Zaum als Zügel.

[8]  Ich befürchte, daß nicht am jüngsten TagePriesterbrod und der Wein von gleichem Werth sey.

[9]  O mein Auge verstreu' das Korn der Thränen,Daß sich fange im Netz der Wollust Vogel.

[10]  Du Aetherische Fluth, und du o Mondschiff,Ihr verschwindet zugleich in seiner Großmuth.

[1]  O murshid come sq that the rose of ease and of pleasure we may scatter ,and ,into the cup of existence or of the heart the wine of love and of divine knowledge cast ,
By our inward strength the roof of the sky we rend and to the height of another heaven a new way ,cast .

[2]   If an army ,that sheddeth the blood of lovers ,grief raise
Content together are I and the Saki and up its foundation ,we cast .

[3]   Into the cup of ruddy wine ,rose - water ,I pour
Into the censer of the wind ,'itr - revolving ,sugar ,I cast .

[4]   Minstrel since in thy hand is a sweet instrument ,a sweet song sing
So that ,hand - waving ,we may sing the love - song ,and dancing ,our head down may cast .

[5]   O breeze to that lofty quarter of the Beloved ,the dust of our existence cast
It may be that on the spectacle - place of that king of lovely ones 'arifs our glance ,we may cast .

[6]   Of reason ,one boasteth another idle talk weaveth
Come before the just Ruler God these disputes ,let us cast .

[7]   If the paradise of Adn ,thou desire ,come with us to the tavern of love and of profligacy
So that ,from the foot of the wine - jar the murshid of love thee ,at once into the pool of Kausar ,we may cast .

[8]   In Shiraz ,the understanding of verse ,and the speaking well ,they practise not
Hafiz come that ,into another land ,ourselves we may cast .

[1]  Komm' laß uns Rosen streuen, Und Wein in Becher werfen, Des Himmels Dach zertrümmern, Und neue Formen werfen.

[2]  Sobald des Kummers Heere, Der Treuen Blut vergießen, So will ich mit dem Schenken, Den Bau des Grams zerwerfen.

[3]  Wir wollen Rosenwasser In Weingeschirre gießen, Und Zucker in das Rauchfaß, Voll Moschusduftes werfen.

[4]  Dein Saitenspiel ist lieblich, O spiele süße Weisen, Damit wir Lieder singen, Und unsre Köpfe werfen.

[5]  Bring' Ost den Staub des Körpers, Zu jenem großen Herren, Daß wir auch unsre Blicke, Auf seine Schönheit werfen.

[6]  Der Eine prahlt mit Weisheit, Der Andere mit Tugend, Komm' laß uns diese Dinge Dem Richter unterwerfen.

[7]  Verlangest du nach Eden, So komm' mit mir zur Schenke, Wir wollen aus dem Weinfaß In den Kewßer Dich werfen.

[8]  Gesang und Kraft des Wortes Blüht in Schiras nicht weiter. O komm' Hafis, wir wollen Wo anders hin uns werfen.

[1]  O Saki intoxicated with love's cup ,I am give a little wine .
Full ,make the goblet for ,without wine ,the assembly hath not even a little lustre .

[2]   Love for his face like the moon ,cometh not truly within the screen
Minstrel a melody ,strike up .Saki give a little wine .

[3]   At Thy door ,curved like the ring ,became my stature so that ,after this ,the watcher
May not drive us again from this door to another door .

[4]   Together are in expectation of Thy face ,we and hopefulness
Together are in the deceit vain hope of union ,we and vain fancy ,and a vain dream .

[5]   Intoxicated with those two eyes of Thine I am in the end ,less than an empty question
Languishing for those two ruby lips of Thine I am in the end ,less than a vain dream .

[6]   Hafiz in the fancy for lovely ones ,thy heart wherefore placest thou
When becometh sated the thirsty one ,from the flashing of a mirage .

[7]   Thy hand ,stain not with intention ,in respect of a cup wherefrotn thou knowest
That at the end of work ,will not be the hope of even a little water .

[1]  Schenke betrunken vom Glase der Liebe Reiche den Wein! Fülle den Becher, denn traurig ist ohne Wein das Gelag.

[2]  Sieh'! wie der Mond sind die Wangen des Liebsten Schleier verhüllt; Spiele mir Sänger eins auf, und du Schenke Reiche den Wein!

[3]  Lege den Ring des gebogenen Körpers Dir um den Hals, Keine Erlösung sonst seh' ich von diesem Bitteren Schmerz.

[4]  In der Erwartung von deinem Gesichte Schwindet der Tag, Und die Gebilde des Traums sind von deinem Hochgenuß voll.

[5]  Ach! ich bin trunken von jenen zwei Augen, Wo ist das Glas? Ach! und ich kränkle ob jenen Rubinen, Wo ist der Schlaf?

[6]  Sag' mir, Hafis, wie du magst dem Geliebten Weihen das Herz. Ward je ein Durst'ger in Wüsten vom Schein des Wassers gelabt.

[1]  God ,I praise for the justice of the great Sultan
Ahmad bin Shaikh Uvais bin Hasan Ilkhani .

[2]   Khan bin Khan ,Shahinshah of Shahin - shah - descent
That one ,whom ,if thou call the soul of the world 'tis well .

[3]   Confidence in thy fortune bringeth he who hath seen and he who hath not seen
Excellent O thou that art worthy of such grace of God .

[4]   If ,without thee ,the moon ascend ,it in two halves they dash
The fortune of Ahmad Muhammad and the miracle of a Holy one God

[5]   Heart from king and beggar ,the splendour of thy fortune ravisheth
Far be the evil - eye ,for both soul thou art ,and also the beloved thou art .

[6]   Turk - like ,the forelock arrange .For ,in thy fortune ,is
The liberality of a Khakan and the energy of a Chingiz Khan .

[7]   Though apparently far ,we are ,to thy recollection the goblet ,we drink
For ,in the spiritual journey ,distance of stage is none .

[8]   Not a rose - bud of ease blossomed from my Persian clay
Excellent the Tigris of Baghdad and the fragrant wine .

[9]   The lover's head that was not the dust of the Beloved's door ,
From the labour of head - revolvingness ,when is freedom his

[10]   O morning breeze the dust of the Beloved's path ,bring
That ,luminous with it ,the eye of his heart ,Hafiz may make .

[11]   Time consider plunder to that degree that thou canst
O soul the out - come of life is only this moment if thou knowesfr .

[12]   The desire - giving of the sphere hath life in barter ,
Strive that ,from fortune ,the justice of ease thou mayst take .

[13]   The counsel of lovers ,hear and out from the door of joy come
For all this is not worth the occupation of a transitory world .

[14]   Before the zahid ,boast not of profligacy .For one cannot utter
To the physician ,not the confidant ,the state of a hidden pain .

[15]   Gardener when hence I pass ,be it unlawful to thee ,
If ,in my place ,a cypress other than the beloved thou plant

[16]   The jar - shatterer knoweth not this value that to the sufi ,
Is a household chattel like a pomegranate ruby .

[17]   Thou goest and ,the people's blood ,thy eye - lashes shed
O soul fiercely impetuously thou goest fear is ,behind ,thou wilt remaim .

[18]   O sweet mouth with the prayer of the night - risers ,strive not
In the shelter of the one ineffable name of God is the seal having the quality of a Sulaiman .

[19]   Aside from the glance of Thy eye ,my heart ,I kept .But ,
Thy eyebrow ,bow - possessor ,taketh the heart by its forehead .

[20]   O brothers compassion .Went my precious Yusuf ,
For grief for whom ,wonderful in wretchedness I beheld thestate of the old man Y'akub of Kin'an .

[21]   The wine's delight will slay the penitent zahid
O sage do not a deed ,that bringeth penitence .

[22]   One day ,by my door ,enter ,so that ,with joy ,the hand I may clap ;
Saying : Verily ,joined to me is luminosity as a guest .

[23]   With kindness ,tranquillise Hafiz's heart ,
O Thou ,whose beauteous tress - coil is the assembly - place perfection of dispersion

[24]   O idol ,stony of heart if of me careless thou be ,
My own state ,I will utter before Asaf the second .

[25]   O true Beloved Thy well - wisher ,I am ,and this I know that Thou knowest
For ,both the un - seen ,Thou seest ; and also the un - written by fate Thou readest .

[26]   In the adoration of Adam ,the angel made resolve of thy ground - kiss ,
For ,in Thy beauty ,something he found more than the way ,. human .

[27]   Thy tress's curl is now ,in God's name ,the collectedness of hearts
Be safety thine ,from that breeze that exciteth dispersion

[28]   From fortune ,I have the hope that his girdle I may loose
O sky for God's sake ,for me loose the knot frown from the forehead .

[29]   O true Beloved dishevel Thy tress and ,to sport and to dancing ,bring the Sufi people of the world
That ,from every patch of his ragged garment ,thousands of idols of hypocrisy Thou mayst scatter .

[30]   The lamp - kindler of our eye is the breeze of the tress of lovely ones
Lord to this gathering smoo .th state of the tress be not grief for the breeze of dispersion

[31]   Of the mystery of the lover and of the Beloved ,what gaineth the reproacher
The non - seeing eye especially seeth not a secret mystery .

[32]   To be vexed with fellow way - farers ,is not the action of a work - knower
The difficulty of the stage ,endure in memory of a time of ease .

[33]   Alas that pleasure of night - sitting up that passed swiftly like the morning breeze
O heart the value of union ,thou knowest ,only when behind in separation thou remainest .

[34]   The solving of the work of desirous ones is in that heart - binding eye - brow
For God's sake ,a moment with towards us unloose the knot frown from thy forehead .

[35]   Hafiz thee ,the fancy of the yoke of His tress fascinates
See ,so that the ring of impossible fortune ,thou shake not .

[36]   People spake ,saying In beauty a second Yusuf thou art
When ,well ,I looked ,verily better than that I had heard thou art .

[37]   Sweeter than that which ,with sweet smile ,they say thou art ,
Khusrau of the lovely ones for ,the Shirin of the age ,thou art .

[38]   To the folded rose - bud ,thy mouth ,one cannot compare
Never is the rose - bud with this narrow - mouthness .

[39]   If ,on account of thy stature and gait ,the moving cypress remained behind in its place ,
Move thou .For thou hast surpassed the moving cypress in movingness .

[40]   A hundred times Thou saidest : From this mouth ,thy desire I give
Like the noble ten - tongued lily ,why art Thou all a tongue

[41]   Thou saidest Thy desire ,I will give thy life ,I wilt take
I fear my desire ,Thou givest not and my life Thou wilt take .

[42]   Through the shield of my life ,Thy sick ,languishing eye causeth to pass the poplar arrow
The eye sick ,who hath seen with so strong a bow

[43]   O true Beloved like the worthless tear from the eye of man ,him Thou easiest ,
Him ,whom a moment ,away from Thy sight ,Thou drivest .

[44]   Away from before Thyself ,Thy own grief - stricken Hafiz ,drive not
For ,through love for Thy face ,he gave sacrificed heart ,faith ,and youth .

[45]   In the path of love to Thee ,like the pen ,a foot out of his head Hafiz made ,
It ,one moment ,like a letter out of kindness ,why readest Thou not

[46]   Breeze of the morning of happiness for that trace that thou knowest ,
To a certain one's street ,pass at that time that thou knowest .

[47]   The footman of the chamber of mystery ,thou art and on the head of the Path ,is my eye
By manliness ,hot by order ,urge in that way ,that thou knowest .

[48]   Say : From my hand passed my feeble soul .For God's sake ,
From Thy ruby lip soul - refreshing ,give that that Thou knowest .

[49]   O true Beloved these few words I wrote ,in such a way that the stranger hath not known
Them by way of kindness ,do Thou also read in such a way that Thou knowest .

[50]   On Thy girdle ,gold - woven ,hope how may I not establish
O idol in that waist ,is a subtlety that Thou knowest .

[51]   With us ,the image of Thy slaying sword is the tale of the thirsty one and of water whereto he desireth to reach
Thy own captive ,Thou seizest .Slay in such a way that Thou knowest .

[52]   Hafiz in this matter ,one are Turki and Tazi Arabian
Love's tale ,relate in every tongue language that thou knowest .

[53]   Two friends holy travellers good of understanding ,and of old wine a quantity ,two mans ,'
A little leisure ,and a book ,and a sward - corner .

[54]   For this ,and the next ,world I give not this state
Though ,of carpers momently ,fall upon me

[55]   Every one who ,for the world's treasure ,gave the treasure of contentment ,
Sold ,the precious Yusuf of Egypt for a very paltry sum .

[56]   Come ; for not less becometh the amplitude of this workshop the world
By the austerity of one like thee or ,by the profligacy of one like me .

[57]   On the day of events of death with cheering wine ,'tis necessary to tell one's grief
For ,on none ,is reliance at a time like this .

[58]   Happy of heart ,in a corner sit and behold
That none keepeth in mind so strange a calamity .

[59]   In the hand of the mean the watcher I keep seeing my idol the beloved
Thus ,the vengeful sky recognised the right of service of one like me .

[60]   In the mirror of the Picture - establisher God the hidden form ,behold
If ,for thee out of the country of contentment ,desire maketh a native land .

[61]   O heart strive thou for patience .For God delivereth not
A seal - ring so precious as patience to the hand of an evil one .

[62]   From the fierce wind of vicissitude ,one cannot see ,
That ,in this sward ,hath been even a red rose ,or a wild white rose .

[63]   From this simum blast of lust that ,by the garden - borders ,passed ,
Wonder that from the heart of love's lust the colour of a rose remaineth ,or the perfume of a jessamine .

[64]   I have heard that ,for dogs ,thou appointest a collar
On Hafiz's neck ,why placest thou not a rope

[65]   Hafiz in this calamity ,ruined became time's temper
Where is the thought of a physician or the judgment of a Barhaman

[66]   Drink the cup of the wine of unity of a man
So that ,by it grief's root ,up from the heart ,thou mayst pluck .

[67]   Expanded ,keep the heart ,like the cup of wine
Head closed how long like a large jar

[68]   When ,from the jar of selflessness ,a ritl thou drinkest ,
Less of thyself voluntarily thou boastest of self .

[69]   Like the humble and worthless stone at thy foot be ,not like the water of the cloud glorying in sublimity
All colour of deceit ,thou mixest and wet of skirt lust - stained thou art .

[70]   To wine ,bind the heart ,so that ,like a man ,
The neck of hypocrisy and of piety thou mayst shatter .

[71]   Arise ,and ,like Hafiz ,an effort in the service of the Pir of tarikat make so that ,perchance ,
Thyself ,at the true Beloved's foot ,thou mayest cast .

[72]   Tis morning ; and ,droppeth hail from the cloud of the winter - month Bahman
The requisites of the morning cup ,prepare and give a cup of one ' man .'

[73]   The blood red wine of the cup ,drink for lawful is its blood
In the work of the cup ,engaged be ; for 'tis a work fit to be done .

[74]   If ,at dawn ,thee ,wine - sickness give headache ,
Verily ,best ,that the forehead of the vintner ,thou shatter .

[75]   Saki at hand to give the cup be for ,in ambush for us ,is grief
Minstrel so that grief may not reach us keep this very path of song that thou singest .

[76]   Give wine for ,the secret to my ear ,the harp hath brought and said
Happily pass life and ,hear this bowed Pir the harp

[77]   Hafiz by the independence of profligates ,I conjure thee drink wine ,
So that ,thou mayst hear the song of the Singer ,God the Independent One .
