[1]  Tis the 'id and ,at last ,the rose and friends are in expectation
Saki in the king's resplendent face ,behold the effulgent moon and bring wine .

[2]   From the spring - season of the rose ,I had uplifted my heart for in the rose - sea - son ,I drink no wine wander not about the forbidden and ,in the service of the pure ,acquire perfection but ,
In it the blessing of the pure ones of the time did no great work effected little

[3]   To the world ,attach not the heart and of the intoxicated one the holy traveller inquire ,
Of the bounty of the cup and of the tale of Jamshid .

[4]   Naught have I in hand ,save life's cash : the wine is where
That it also ,on the Saki's glance ,I may scatter .

[5]   Joyous is pleasant fortune and pleasant is the merciful king .
O Lord From time's eye - wound ,them preserve .

[6]   To the slave's verse ,drink wine .For another decoration giveth
Thy bejewelled cup to this royal pearl the murshid

[7]   If the early morning meal deeds of service and of abstinence hath vanished ,what matter There is still the morning wine deeds of love
With wine ,fast - breaking keeping back from the world's affluence the seekers of the true Beloved make .

[8]   For the reason that Thy merciful disposition is the screen - concealer ,
On our heart ,bestow pardon for it is a little cash of small proof .

[9]   I fear that ,on the day of rising ,up ,rein on rein equally urge
The rosary of the holy Shaikh ,and the khirka of the profligate ,wine - drinker .

[10]   Hafiz since fasting austerity and chastity hath departed and the rose love's season also departeth ,
Helpless ,drink wine of love for ,from the hand ,the goal of work hath departed .

[1]  Heut ist das Fest, die Rosen sind fort, und die Freund' in Erwartung,Schaut in Schenkengesicht Mondenglanz, bringet mir Wein!

[2]  Längstens hatte mein Herz Verzicht gethan auf die Rosen,Aber frommes Gebet rettete einige noch.

[3]  Schenke dein Herz nicht der Welt, und frage einen Betrunknen,Um's wohlthätige Glas, um die Geschichte Dschemschids.

[4]  Seelengold ist alles Vermögen, o bringet den Wein her,Daß ich auch diesen verspend', süßeren Lohnes gewiß.

[5]  Glücklich ist das Reich, und gnädig unser Beherrscher,Vor den Gefahren der Zeit schirme, beschütz' ihn o Herr!

[6]  Seines Dieners Gesang entström' den Kehlen bei'm Weine,Glänzende Perlen verleih'n Gläsern den herrlichsten Glanz.

[7]  Ist das Frühmal vorbei, so hat es nichts zu bedeuten,O ihr Freunde des Freund's brechet die Fasten mit Wein!

[8]  Gerne verhüllt dein edeler Sinn die Fehler mit Schleiern,Zürne mir nicht, denn mein Herz ist von zu leichtem Gehalt.

[9]  Wahrlich ich fürchte mit Recht, es geh'n am Tag' des GerichtesEinstens Hand in Hand Trinker und Scheiche den Weg.

[10]  Nun ist die Fasten vorbei, die Rosen Hafis gehen zu Ende.Trinke du immerhin Wein, beßeres ist nicht zu thun.

[1]  O true Beloved by the door enter ; and our chamber luminous > make
The air of the assembly of souls perfumed make .

[2]   If a Faklh advise saying Love practise not ,
Him ,the cup of the wine of unity give say : Thy brain ,fresh make .

[3]   O true Beloved to the eye and the eye - brow of the illusory beloved ,heart and soul ,I have entrusted
Come ,come and with the glance of blessing viewing of the arch the eye - brow and of the spectacle - place the eye make .

[4]   Light scattereth not the star of the dark night of separation the illusory be - loved
To the palace - roof the existence of Hafiz come and the lamp of the moon the beauty of the true Beloved uplifted^ make .

[5]   To the treasurer of Jannat ,speak ,saying : The dust of this assembly ,
As a present to Firdaus take and it the aloe - fuel of the censer make .

[6]   From this one associated with me the wife and the khirka much in strait I am
With a glance Sufi - slaying ,me Kalandar make .

[7]   Since beneath Thy hand are the lovely ones the flowers of the sward ,
At the jessamine ,the glance and towards the cone - tree ,grace make .

[8]   O Saki Murshid excess of many a tale ,the spirit maketh
From the hand ,thy own work the explanation of truths to holy travellers give not ; wine the delight that surgeth in the traveller's heart into the cup put .

[9]   The splendour - rays of beauty of illusory love the veil of the eye of understanding ,became
Come the sun's pavilion the elemental body effulgent make .

[10]   Not our limit ,is desire for the cash of union with Thee
With that ruby lip like sugar ,me a kiss give .

[11]   The lip of the cup ,kiss subtleties of divine knowledge ,acquire then to the intoxicated holy travellers give
With this subtlety ,wisdom's train ,beperfumed make .

[12]   After the service of pleasure and of love ,of those moon of face ,
Of deeds that thou doest ,the verse of Hafiz exalted make .

[1]  Herein zur Thür! Erleuchte nächtliches Dunkel, Durchwürz' die Luft Des Kreises geistiger Männer.

[2]  Räth dir der Mönch Nicht Liebesspiele zu spielen, Reich' ihm das Glas, Befeucht' damit sein Gehirne. Mit deiner Huld, Mit deiner lieblichen Tugend Heb' wie die Kerz' Empor das Haupt in Gesellschaft.

[3]  Dem Geist das Herz Empfehl' ich Augen und Brauen, O komm', o komm', Und schaue die Aussicht, den Bogen.

[4]  Der Stern der Nacht Der Trennung sendet nicht Strahlen. Steig' auf das Dach, Zünd' an die Leuchte des Mondes.

[5]  Bring' einen Staub Von uns edenisches Lüftchen Ins Paradies Und würz' die Düfte desselben.

[6]  Die Kutte setzt Mich in nicht kleine Verwirrung. Mach' mich zum Mönch Mit einem schmeichelnden Blicke.

[7]  Es weichen dir An Reiz die Schönen der Fluren, Drum sprich mit Huld, Jasminen, Pinien an.

[8]  Der Schenke spricht Viel überflüssige Dinge, Dich kümmr' es nicht, Du füll' den Becher mit Wein an.

[9]  Der Schönheit Schein, Verhüllt das Licht des Verstandes, O komm'! erleucht' Damit die Fackel der Sonne.

[10]  Uns ziemt es nicht, Nach dem Genusse zu geizen, Du weise uns An zuckersüße Rubinen.

[11]  Du küß das Glas Und giebs den Trunkenen über, Mit diesem Wort Durchwürz' den Duft des Verstandes.

[12]  Nachdem du viel Mit Mondgesichtern geliebelt, Präg' deinem Sinn Hafisens Lieder mit Fleiß ein.

[1]  O thou that hast the blood - price of the precious musk - pod of Chin ,the dust of the path of thine
And the sun ,cherished in the shade of the border of the cap of thine

[2]   O beloved forth beyond limit ,the narcissus carrieth her amorous glance move forth and display thy glance that the narcissus may know thy worth
O soul be a sacrifice for the glance of the dark eye of thine

[3]   My blood ,drink .For ,with beauty like this ,even any angel ,
From his heart ,it cometh not to record the sin of thine .

[4]   O beloved the cause thou art of the people's ease and the world's slumber
On that account ,the border of my eye and of my heart became the repose - place of thine .

[5]   Mine ,every night in recollection of thy effulgent face with every gleaming star is the work of weeping and wailing
In envious regret for the splendour of the moon - like effulgent face of thine .

[6]   From each other separated all are friends ,fellow - sitters
But together are I and the threshold of the empire - shelter of thine .

[7]   Hafiz favour ,desire not .For ,in the end ,
To grief's harvest ,setteth fire the smoke of the sigh of thine .

[8]   To - morrow ,the day of assembly the resurrection when is the presenting of the people ,
In the midst ,possibly ,may fall on me the kind glance of thine

[1]  Das Blutgeld für den Moschus aus Sina Ist deiner Füße Staub. Die Sonne selbst sie wurde genähret Im Schatten deines Orts.

[2]  O sieh! wie die Narzissen es treiben Mit ihren Schmeichelei'n; O zeig dich, und sie opfern die Seele Dem Nicken deines Augs.

[3]  O trinke kühn mein Blut, denn es waget Zu deiner Schönheit sich Kein Engel in die Nähe, daß selber Aufmerke deine Schuld.

[4]  Du bist die Ursach', daß hier auf Erden Die Menschen ruhig sind. Deßwegen ist mein Herz, und mein Auge Zum Wohnort dir geweiht.

[5]  Ich habe jede Nacht mit den Sternen Mein eigenes Geschäft, Aus Sehnsucht nach dem strahlenden Glanze Von deinem Mondgesicht.

[6]  Die Freunde, die vereiniget waren, Sind alle nun getrennt, Ich aber blieb als Schwelle der Zuflucht Vor deinem Glück zurück.

[7]  Hafis! verzweifle nicht an der Gnade Von deinem Gott und Herrn, Es wird des Grames Scheune verbrennen Bei deinem Seufzerrauch.

[1]  O thou that ,on the moon of thy radiant face the veil of musky hair castest ,
Kindness ,thou didst on the sun thy effulgent face ,so that from love's fire ,lovers should not consume a shade thou castest .

[2]   With us ,the water lustre of colour of thy cheek ,what will it do
Now ,on water ,the picture of thy own sorcery ,thou castest .

[3]   From the lovely ones of the world ,the ball of loveliness thou tookest .Be joyful
The world - viewing cup of Kay Khusrau ,seek for Afrasiyab ,down thou castest .

[4]   In a different way ,with the luminous candle of thy face ,love every one played
Out from the midst ,into trepidation ,the moth ,the lover thou castest .

[5]   In our desolate heart ,the treasure of thy own love ,thou placedest
On this ruined treasure ,mercy's shadow thou castest

[6]   Shelter from the water lustre of thy flashing sword ,by which lions ,
Thirsty with wounds thou madest and heroes into water of shame thou castest

[7]   The sleep of the wakeful ,thou boundest preventedest then from the picture of fancy ,
On the night - prowlers of the troop of sleep ,a suspicion ,thou castest .

[8]   For the sake of one glance ,thy veil thou up - castest in the place - of - splendour
And into the veil ,through shame ,Hur and Pari thou castest .

[9]   From the cup ,world - viewing ,wine drink for ,on Jamshid's throne ,
From the face of the desired Beloved ,the veil down thou castest .

[10]   From the desire for the intoxicated narcissus eye and for the ruby lip wine - worshipping ,
Into wine ,Hafiz sitting in khilvat ,thou easiest .

[11]   For the sake of capturing the heart ,on his neck ,the chain of thy tress ,
Like the mighty noose of Khusrau ,the master of necks ,thou castest .

[12]   The Ruler ,Dara of pomp ,O thou ,who ,the sun's crown ,
From the height of mightiness ,on the dust of the door - post ,thou castest

[13]   Nusratu - d - Din Shah Yahiya ,O thou who ,the enemy's land ,
Into water ,with the foam of thy flashing sword ,like fire ,thou castest

[1]  Um den Mond hast du den Schleier der Flaumen geworfen, Gnädig hast du sogar auf Sonnen den Schatten geworfen.

[2]  Ha! was wird mir noch thun die Farbe von deinem Gesichte, Da um selbes jetzt solch einen Schimmer geworfen.

[3]  Siegend trägst du den Ballen davon, deß magst du dich freuen. Nimm den Becher Chosrus, Efrasiab ist geworfen.

[4]  In den Augenglanz verliebte ein Jeder sich anders, Und den Schmetterling selbst hast du in Verwirrung geworfen.

[5]  Deiner Liebe Schatz verbargst du in unseren Herzen, Auf den Schatz hast du den Schatten voll Milde geworfen.

[6]  Schone, schone, o Schah! mit deinem funkelnden Schwerte, Löwen dürsten darnach, und Helden werden geworfen.

[7]  Wachenden hast du zuerst die Kraft zu schlafen benommen, Dann mit deinem Bilde in Schlaf Nachtwandler geworfen.

[8]  Einen Augenblick nur hast du gelüftet den Schleier, Sieh' da haben aus Schaam Peris sich in Schleier geworfen. Freilich bin ich berauscht, doch weis' mich nicht deßhalb zurücke, Denn zu löblichem Zweck hast du herein mich geworfen.

[9]  Trinke, o Schah! vom weltenerklärenden Becher Dschemschids, Weil du auf Salomons Thron den Schleier des Wunsches geworfen.

[10]  Durch die Betrügerei'n des Rubins der trunknen Narzisse Hast du Hafisen, der einsam lebt, zu den Trinkern geworfen.

[11]  Um sein Herz zu fangen hast du die Ketten der Locken Wie ein Band des Herrn um deinen Sklaven geworfen.

[12]  Er ist ein mächtiger Fürst, vor dem die Krone der Sonne Ehren halben sich hin zu seinen Füßen geworfen.

[13]  Naßreddinschah Jahja ist jener mächtige König, Der mit dem Schwerte den Feind in die Gluth, in das Wasser geworfen.

[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 .
