[1]  O true Beloved come ,so that ,in my shattered and grief - stricken heart ,power may enter again
Come so that ,in my dead body ,life may enter again .

[2]   Come for separation from Thee hath closed my eye in such a way
That ,it ,only the opening of the door of union with Thee may perchance open again .

[3]   That grief ,that ,like the black army of Zang took ,in blood ,my heart ,
By the troop of horse of joyousness of the Rum the country of Thy face ,will be effaced again .

[4]   Before the mirror of the heart ,whatever I hold ,
Save the image of Thy beauty appeareth not again .

[5]   Through fear of the desert ,evil make not thy heart the ihram ,bind on
For reflecteth not the man of the Path ,though from the desert ,or from the journey he cometh not again .

[6]   Hafiz come .For the bulbul ,agreeable of heart ,
By the perfume of the rose - bed of union with thee ,singeth again .

[1]  O komm! mein wundes Herz, erlang die Kräfte wieder,O komm! den todten Leib beseele Leben wieder

[2]  O komm! die Trennung hat das Herz so fest verschlossenDaß nur dein Hochgenuß es kann eröffnen wieder.

[3]  Das Mohrenheer des Grams, das mich in Blut versenkteSchlug nun die weiße Schaar von deinen Wangen wieder.

[4]  Ich halte was ich will vor meines Herzens SpiegelSo strahlet er mir nichts als deine Schönheit wieder

[5]  Das alte Sprichwort sagt: daß Nächte schwanger sindDie Sterne zähl' ich nun zu sehn was sie gebähren.

[6]  O komm! die Nachtigall von dem Gemüth HafisensKommt auf den Duft der Rosen des Genußes wieder.

[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]  If ,like the lofty cypress ,a moment thou move in a rose - garden ,
In envy of thy face ,every rose suffereth a thorn .

[2]   On account of the infidelity of thy tress ,together are every assembly and a great tumult
On account of the sorcery of thy eye ,together are every corner and a sick one .

[3]   O intoxicated eye of the beloved to sleep ,like my fortune ,go not ;
For ,in pursuit ,from every direction ,is the sigh of^ a wakeful one .

[4]   The scattering of Thy Path's dust is my soul's cash ,although
On Thy part the soul's cash hath not even a little value .

[5]   O heart ever ,a malignant opinion of the tress of heart - enslavers ,express not
When malignant of opinion thou becomest ,how openeth to thee a work

[6]   Separate from the body went my head and ,awhile ,this work ended not ;
My hear f caught grief of love and Thine ,was no grief for a captive .

[7]   To him ,I said Like the centre - point enter into the midst of the circle of desirous ones
With laughter ,he spake ,saying Hafiz 1 in what compass ,art thou

[1]  Wenn im Rosenbeete du Cedern ähnlich schwankest, Fressen Rosen alsogleich Eifersüchtig Dornen.

[2]  Jedes Ringel deines Haars Ist voll List und Truges, Deiner Augen Zauberei Machet nichts als Kranke.

[3]  Trunknes Auge meines Freund's Schlaf' nicht wie mein Glück ein, Ach und Wehe hält dich rings Wach' von allen Seiten.

[4]  Meiner Seele Münze streu' Ich im Staub' des Weg's hin, Aber diese baare Münz' Zahlet deinen Werth nicht.

[5]  Wandle nicht, mein Herz, den Weg Von den Lockensklaven, Wenn du blind den Weg verfolgst, Wie wird's dir gelingen!

[6]  Hingegeben ist mein Haupt, Ungethan die Hauptsach', Fortgeflohen ist mein Herz, Und kein Herz ergriff ich.

[7]  Einem Punkte bist du gleich, Sprach ich in dem Kreise, Lächelnd sprach sie, du Hafis Gleichest einem Kreise.

[1]  On the day of judgment ,thee the sky happily aided
Let us see thanks ,how thou mayst offer ; in thanks ,what thou mayst bring .

[2]   That one who fell and whose hand ,God seized ,
Say So that thy hand ,God may seize on thee ,be it that the grief of the fallen thou mayst suffer .

[3]   In love's street ,kingly rank they purchase not
Here make confession of service and claim of attendance .

[4]   Saki with the reward for tidings of joy enter by my door ,
So that ,one moment ,forth from my heart ,grief thou mayst take .

[5]   In the highway of rank and of lordship is many a danger ,
That is best that by this acclivity ,light of burden ,thou pass .

[6]   Together are the Sultan and the thought of the army ,and the passion for treasure ,and the pomp of the crown
Together are the darvish ,and tranquillity of heart ,and the corner of kalandardom .

[7]   One sufi - istic word ,I will utter permission is there
O light of the eye peace is better than war and dominion .

[8]   To the limit of thought and spirit is the success of desire
From the king ,the liberal gift from the grace of God ,aid .

[9]   Hafiz from thy face ,the dust of poverty and ot contentment wash not
For ,better is this dust than the work of alchemy .

[1]  Es stand der Himmel dir wohl bey Am Tag des Streites, Wie preisest du ihn wohl dafür, Wie zeigest du dich dankbar?

[2]  Der Mann, der fällt, und welchen Gott Dann bei der Hand ergreifet, Dem sage, dir gebühret es, Gefallene zu trösten.

[3]  Man kauft nicht in dem Liebesgau Die Glorie des Schahes, Bekenne dich zum Herrendienst, Zum frommen Sklavendienste.

[4]  O Schenke komm' zur Thür' herein Mit deinen Liebeswimpern, Dann geht der Gram der ganzen Welt Hinaus von meinem Herzen.

[5]  Es liegen auf der Größe Pfad Gar mancherlei Gefahren, Weit besser ist es, daß du leicht Dich auf den Weg begebest.

[6]  Der König denkt auf Stadt und Heer, Auf Kronen und auf Schätze, Derwische denken nur auf Ruh', Auf einen stillen Winkel.

[7]  Ich sage dir ein frommes Wort, Schenkst du mir nur Erlaubniß, Mein Augenlicht weit besser ist's Im Frieden seyn, als kriegen.

[8]  Es steht bei deinem Muth und Sinn Die Wünsche zu erreichen. Du brauchest nur des Schahes Gunst, Und dann die Hülfe Gottes.

[9]  Wasch' die Genügsamkeit Hafis Nicht ab von deinen Wangen, Denn dieser Staub ist besser als Der wahre Stein der Weisen.

[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
