Divan Hafez (The Persian English Dynamic Lexicon):::: Digital Humanities

[3] Ey so lasset mit dem WirtheUns gemeine Sache machen!Denn so wars von EwigkeitenIn das Schicksalsbuch geschrieben. Sieh ein Windhauch in die LockenHat die Welt für mich verfinstert!Dieses also ist der NutzenDen mir deine Locken bringen. Ruhe hatte sich mein HerzIn dem Netze aufgefangen,Sieh da rollten auf die Locken,Und entflohen war die Beute.

[4] Wüßte der Verstand, wie seligHerzen in den Locken ruhen,O! es würden die Verständ'genUnsrer Bande wegen närrisch.

[5] Einen Vers vom SchönheitskoranHat mir dein Gesicht enthüllet.Deßhalb athmen meine VerseHohe Schönheit, reine Anmuth.

[6] Können meine FeuerseufzerUnd die Gluthen meines Busens,So die ganze Nacht durch brennenNicht dein steinern Herz bewegen!

[7] Sieh Hafisens Seufzer-PfeileSind zum Himmel aufgeflogen,Haben Mitleid mit demselben,Fürchte dich vor meinen Pfeilen.

German Translation

[1] زبان خامه ندارد سر بیان فراق
وگرنه شرح دهم با تو داستان فراق

[2] دریغ مدت عمرم که بر امید وصال
به سر رسید و نیامد به سر زمان فراق

[3] سری که بر سر گردون به فخر می‌سودم
به راستان که نهادم بر آستان فراق

[4] چگونه باز کنم بال در هوای وصال
که ریخت مرغ دلم پر در آشیان فراق

[5] کنون چه چاره که در بحر غم به گردابی
فتاد زورق صبرم ز بادبان فراق

[6] بسی نماند که کشتی عمر غرقه شود
ز موج شوق تو در بحر بی‌کران فراق

[7] اگر به دست من افتد فراق را بکشم
که روز هجر سیه باد و خان و مان فراق

[8] رفیق خیل خیالیم و همنشین شکیب
قرین آتش هجران و هم قران فراق

[9] چگونه دعوی وصلت کنم به جان که شده‌ست
تنم وکیل قضا و دلم ضمان فراق

[10] ز سوز شوق دلم شد کباب دور از یار
مدام خون جگر می‌خورم ز خوان فراق

[11] فلک چو دید سرم را اسیر چنبر عشق
ببست گردن صبرم به ریسمان فراق

[12] به پای شوق گر این ره به سر شدی حافظ
به دست هجر ندادی کسی عنان فراق

[1] The reed's tongue hath no desire for the explanation of separation
If not ,to thee ,I give the explanation of the tale of separation .

[2] Alas life's span ,in hope of union ,
Hath reached to an end and to an end ,hath not come the time of separation .

[3] That head that ,in glory ,1 rubbed on the head of the sphere ,
I swear by the true ones that I compelled by Fate and Destiny placed it on the threshold of separation .

[4] In desire of union ,how may I unfold the wing ,
For its feathers ,the bird of my heart hath shed on the nest of separation .

[5] Now ,what remedy ,when ,into the great whirlpool of grief's ocean ,
The bark of my patience hath fallen on account of the sail of separation .

[6] Not much it wanted that the bark of my life should be overwhelmed ,
With love's wave from the limitless ocean of separation .

[7] O Lord into the world ,who brought disjunction and separation
Dark be the day of disjunction ,and the house of separation .

[8] O true Beloved comrades of the troop of Thy fancy and fellow - riders with patience ,are we lovers of Thee
The associate of labour ,and of'distress and the companion of separation .

[9] Union with Thee ,how may I claim By my soul I swear that hath become ,
My heart ,the secretary of fate and my body ,the pledge of separation .

[10] Roast - flesh became my heart from the burning of desire and far in separation from the true Beloved ,
Ever ,the blood of the liver ,I drink from the tray of separation .

[11] When ,captive to love's circle ,the sky beheld my head ,
The neck of my patience ,it bound with the cord of separation .

[12] Hafiz if ,with the foot of desire ,this Path of love to the end thou hadst gone ,
To the hand of disjunction ,none would have given the rein of separation .

[1] Wer brachte denn zuerst die Trennung auf die Erde?Auf immer bleibe schwarz das Haus der Flucht, der Trennung.

[2] Der Feder Zunge spricht nicht aus den Schmerz der Trennung,Sonst hätt' ich dir erklärt die Sagen von der Trennung.

[3] Des Lebens Zeit verfloß in Hoffnung des Genusses,O Weh! und noch nicht ist zu End' die Zeit der Trennung.

[4] Ich heb' den Kopf mit Stolz bis an des Himmels Giebel,Und aus Geradheit lieg' ich auf die Schwell' der Trennung.

[5] Wie kann ich fliegen mit dem Wunsche des Genusses?Entfiedert ward der Aar der Brust im Nest der Trennung.

[6] Der Nachen der Geduld fiel auf dem Meer der Leiden,In einen Wirbel mit dem Segeltuch der Trennung.

[7] Noch wenig fehlt, so wird des Lebens Schiff versinken,In Sehnsuchtsfluthenschwall im weiten Meer der Trennung.

[8] Wenn ich die Trennung erwische, fürwahr! ich will sie ermorden,Und mit Thränen bezahl' ich dann die Blutschuld der Trennung.

[9] Ich ziehe voll Geduld mit ihres Bildes Heeren,Ich wandle auf der Gluth der Flucht, im Schmerz der Trennung.

[10] Wie kann die Seele fodern des Genusses Freuden?Mein Herz erliegt dem Loos, den Leib umfaßt die Trennung,

[11] Der Sehnsucht Gluth hat längst mein armes Herz verbrennet,Vom Freunde ferne trink' ich Blut am Tisch der Trennung,

German Translation

[1] گر چه افتاد ز زلفش گرهی در کارم
همچنان چشم گشاد از کرمش می‌دارم

[2] به طرب حمل مکن سرخی رویم که چو جام
خون دل عکس برون می‌دهد از رخسارم

[3] پرده مطربم از دست برون خواهد برد
آه اگر زان که در این پرده نباشد بارم

[4] پاسبان حرم دل شده‌ام شب همه شب
تا در این پرده جز اندیشه او نگذارم

[5] منم آن شاعر ساحر که به افسون سخن
از نی کلک همه قند و شکر می‌بارم

[6] دیده بخت به افسانه او شد در خواب
کو نسیمی ز عنایت که کند بیدارم

[7] چون تو را در گذر ای یار نمی‌یارم دید
با که گویم که بگوید سخنی با یارم

[8] دوش می‌گفت که حافظ همه روی است و ریا
بجز از خاک درش با که بود بازارم

[1] Although ,from His tress ,a knot of difficulty hath fallen upon my work
Even so ,from His liberality ,the solution of it I expect .

[2] To joy ,the ruddiness of my face attribute not For ,like the cup ,
Forth from my cheek ,the ruddy reflection ,the heart's blood giveth .

[3] Me ,forth from power will take the melody of the minstrel
Alas ,if on that account ,within this screen of the melody mine ,access be none .

[4] Night ,all night ,the guardian of my heart's fold have I been
So that ,into this screen of dark night save thought of Him ,naught I pass .

[5] That poet - magician am I ,who ,with the sorcery of speech ,
From the reed - pen ,all candy and sugar ,rain .

[6] By His tale ,to sleep went fortune's eye
Where ,a breeze of favour ,that ,me ,awake may make

[7] When ,in the wind's thoroughfare ,Him ,my Friend ,I see not
To whom ,may I speak saying A word to my Friend ,utter .

[8] Last night ,he kept saying All double face and hyprocisy is Hafiz
Hafiz replied Save with the dust of Thy door ,say in work with whom ,am I

[1] Ich trat mit großer HoffnungDen Weg an in die Wüste,O Führer meines Herzens,Laß mich hier nicht zurücke.

[2] Wiewohl mir eine LockeVom Haar ist zugefallen,So öffn' ich doch die AugenNach neuer Huld und Gnade.

[3] O glaube nicht, daß froher SinnMir so die Wangen röthet,Es ist das Blut des Herzens,Das außen wiederscheinet.

[4] Es wird des Sängers WeiseMich selber nie entziehen.O weh! wenn diese WeiseMir nicht erlaubet würde.

[5] Ich bin durch ganze NächteDes Herzharemes Wächter,Nur ihrem Bild erlaub' ichs,Den Schleier durchzuschlüpfen.

[6] Ich bin der süsse Sänger,Der durch des Wortes Zauber,Vom Rohr' der Feder ZuckerUnd reinen Kandel träufet.

[7] Sie hat durch ZaubereienDas Schicksal eingeschläfert,O sag' dem Ost, o sag' ihm,Daß er mich doch erwecke.

[8] Da ich im Zug des WindesNicht sehen kann die Freundinn,Wem soll ich's sagen daß erDer Freundinn etwas sage.

German Translation

[1] سرم خوش است و به بانگ بلند می‌گویم
که من نسیم حیات از پیاله می‌جویم

[2] عبوس زهد به وجه خمار ننشیند
مرید خرقه دردی کشان خوش خویم

[3] شدم فسانه به سرگشتگی و ابروی دوست
کشید در خم چوگان خویش چون گویم

[4] گرم نه پیر مغان در به روی بگشاید
کدام در بزنم چاره از کجا جویم

[5] مکن در این چمنم سرزنش به خودرویی
چنان که پرورشم می‌دهند می‌رویم

[6] تو خانقاه و خرابات در میانه مبین
خدا گواه که هر جا که هست با اویم

[7] غبار راه طلب کیمیای بهروزیست
غلام دولت آن خاک عنبرین بویم

[8] ز شوق نرگس مست بلندبالایی
چو لاله با قدح افتاده بر لب جویم

[9] بیار می که به فتوی حافظ از دل پاک
غبار زرق به فیض قدح فروشویم

[1] Happy is my head and with loud shout ,I speak
Saying Life's breeze from the cup of the wine of unity I seek .

[3] For head - bewilderedness ,notorious I became and the Friend's eye - brow
Me ,like a ball ,into the curve of its chaugan ,drew .

[4] If ,to us ,the Pir of the Magians the perfect murshid open not the door ,
What door ,shall I beat What remedy ,shall I make

[5] In this sward the world rebuke me not for self - growing
As me ,nurture they Fate and Destiny give ,so I grow .

[6] In the midst ,behold not thou the monastery and the tavern
God is witness ,wherever He is with Him ,am I .

[7] The dust of the path of search is the alchemy of well being
The slave of the fortune of that dust of ambergris - perfume am I .

[8] From desire for one of intoxicated narcissus and of lofty stature ,
With the goblet ,like the tulip fallen ,by the marge of the stream ,am I .

[9] Wine ,bring that ,by Hafiz's decision ,down from the pure heart ,
Hypocrisy's dust ,with the' goblet's grace ,I may wash .

[1] Hell ist mein Kopf, und ich sage es laut, Daß ich in Gläsern die Lebenslust suche.

[2] Trunknen geziemet nicht mönchischer Trotz, Ich bin der Schüler der Trinker der Hefen.

[3] Ihre Verweigerung macht mich berühmt, Denn statt des Balles bedient sie sich meiner.

[4] Macht man die Thüre der Schenke nicht auf, Wo soll ich klopfen, und was soll ich machen?

[5] Schmähe mich nicht auf die eigene Faust, Siehe ich wachse, so wie man mich pflegte.

[6] Sprich von Moscheen und Schenken nicht viel, Gott ist mein Zeuge, ich bin wo er wohnet.

[7] Oft wird der Staub philosophischer Stein, Ich bin der Sklave des Staubes von Ambra.

[8] Voll von Begier nach dem Reiz der Narziß' Stand ich wie Tulpen mit Kelchen am Fluße,

[9] Bring' mir Wein, wie Hafis es entschied, Lasset vom Staub der Verstellung uns waschen.

[1] احمد الله علی معدله السلطان
احمد شیخ اویس حسن ایلخانی

[2] خان بن خان و شهنشاه شهنشاه نژاد
آن که می‌زیبد اگر جان جهانش خوانی

[3] دیده نادیده به اقبال تو ایمان آورد
مرحبا ای به چنین لطف خدا ارزانی

[4] ماه اگر بی تو برآید به دو نیمش بزنند
دولت احمدی و معجزه سبحانی

[5] جلوه بخت تو دل می‌برد از شاه و گدا
چشم بد دور که هم جانی و هم جانانی

[6] برشکن کاکل ترکانه که در طالع توست
بخشش و کوشش خاقانی و چنگزخانی

[7] گر چه دوریم به یاد تو قدح می‌گیریم
بعد منزل نبود در سفر روحانی

[8] از گل پارسیم غنچه عیشی نشکفت
حبذا دجله بغداد و می ریحانی

[9] سر عاشق که نه خاک در معشوق بود
کی خلاصش بود از محنت سرگردانی

[10] ای نسیم سحری خاک در یار بیار
که کند حافظ از او دیده دل نورانی

[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 .

[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 .

[78] Into the sea of self and self - praise ,I am fallen .Bring
Wine ,so that freedom from self and self - praise me ,it may give .

[79] Hafiz in the rivulet of the eye ,the plant of thy stature
Drank blood ,and established fruit .It thou wishest to up - pluck .

[80] O thou who ,in our slaughter ,mercy exercisest not
Profit and capital ,thou consumest manliness ,thou showest not .

[82] Since ,with a corner of thy eye ,our grief it is possible to take ,
The part of justice it is not ,that our remedy for freedom from grief thou makest not .

[83] Since ,in hope of thee ,our eye is the ocean through weeping why is it that
On the ocean - shore ,in recreation ,passing thou makest not

[84] The tale of every violence that ,of thy gentle nature ,they made ,
Is the word of the interested and is therefore discredited Those deeds of violence thou doest not .

[85] O Zahid if our beloved display splendour to thee by visiting thee
From God ,save wine and the beloved ,a wish thou makest not .

[86] O Hafiz adoration of his eye - brow curved like the prayer - arch ,make
For save here ,a prayer from sincerity's source thou makest not .

[87] This my subtlety ,hear that ,free from grief ,thyself thou mayst make ;
Blood of grief thou drinkest ,if search for victuals ,not placed intended for thee thou makest .

[88] In the end ,the clay of the goglet - maker potters thou wilt become ;
Now ,think of the pitcher of thy heart that ,it ,full of wine of ma'rifat and of love thou mayst make .

[89] If ,of those men thou be ,whose desire is paradise ,
O Pari - born ease with man ,how long is it that thou makest

[90] On the sitting - place of the great ,boastingly it is impossible to lean ,
Unless ,the chattels of greatness ,all prepared ,thou makest .

[91] The writing of God's bounty ,how taketh away thy heart stuffed with sensual claims and ideas of impurity
Unless pure of the stuffed picture ,the leaf of thy heart thou makest

[92] O Khusrau of those sweet of mouth Hafiz rewards are thine ,
If ,to Farhad ,heart - fallen ,a glance thou makest .

[93] Hafiz if back to the Merciful ,thy own work thou pass ,
O great the pleasure that with fortune God - given ,thou makest .

[94] O breeze the service of Khwaja Jallalu - d - Din do ,
Till ,full of the lily of the valley and of the noble lily ,the world thou makest .

[95] O heart in the Beloved's street ,passing thou makest not
The chattels of conjunction ,thou hast and a work thou doest not .

[96] In the hand ,the chaugan of desire yet the ball thou strikest not
In the hand ,a game like this and a prey thou makest not .

[97] This red blood that ,into thy liver ,waveth ,
For the work use of thy face - colour ,a point why is it that thou makest not

[98] Musky fragrant becometh not creation's breath ; because swiftly like the wind ,
On the dust of the Beloved's street ,passing ,thou makest not .

[99] If ,with the soul of grief ,others have purchased the Beloved ,
O heart this deed ,once ,thou doest not .

[100] From this sward the world I fear that thou takest not the sleeve of the rose ma'rifat
For ,the endurance of a thorn from its rose - bed ,thou sufferest not .

[101] To the dust thou castest ,the cup joyous and full of wine and wine
And of the calamity of wine - sickness ,thought thou makest not .

[102] Enclosed in the sleeve of thy soul ,are a hundred musk - pods
Them ,a sacrifice for the Beloved's tress ,thou makest not .

[103] Hafiz go .For the service of the Friend's court ,
If all do ,once thou doest not .

[104] In the morning time ,a way - farer ,on the confines of a land ,
Kept saying this enigma to a companion

[105] O Sufi pure ,becometh wine at that time ,
When ,in bottle ,itbringeth forth accomplisheth a forty days' space .

[106] If the finger of a Sulaiman be not to wear it
What special excellence giveth the engraving of a seal stone

[107] A hundred times ,vexed is God with that khirka ,
Whereof ,a hundred idols of hypocrisy are in a sleeve .

[108] Dark became the inward parts .It may be that ,from the hidden ,
A lamp ,may uplift a khilvat - sitter .

[109] Though only a name ,without trace of reality is generosity ,
Yet thy need present to a noble one

[110] O Lord of the harvest recompense shall be thine ,
If ,a little pity ,thou show to a poor corn - gleaner .

[111] In none ,I see pleasure and ease
Neither ,the remedy for a heart nor ,the pain of working for a faith .

[112] Neither hope of loftiness to the lofty spirit
Nor love's picture on the tablet of a fore - head .

[113] Neither for Hafiz ,present reading the Kuran and khilvat ;
Nor for the sage ,a knowledge of certainty .

[114] The wine - house - door the threshold of the perfect murshid show so that I may inquire ,
My own end from a fore - see - er .

[115] Although the way of lovely ones is cruel haughty of nature ,
What will it be if thou be content with a sad humble one

[116] Perchance ,with desire of khilvat by the marge of a pool ,thou sittest not ,
If not ,every calamity ,that thou experiencest ,all thou experiences from self - seeingness .

[117] I conjure thee by God ,Whose chosen slave ,thou art ,
That ,to this ancient slave ,none thou choose prefer

[118] After this together are we and beggary .For ,at the head of love's stage ,
To wretched way - farers lovers is no remedy save wretchedness .

[119] Thee ,the Khusrau of those moon of face ,respect and shame did
Afarin on thee for ,worthy of a hundred such thou art .

[120] If ,in safety ,love's deposit I take ,there is no fear
Easy is the state of being void of heart heart - bereft if be not the state of being void of faith infidelity

[121] If ,as to the watcher's tyranny patience I exercise not ,what may I do
To wretched lovers ,is no remedy save wretchedness .

[122] From thy sincere slave ,a disinterested word ,hear ,
O thou that ,the cynosure of great ones ,truth beholding ,art

[123] A dainty one like thee ,pure of heart ,pure of nature ,
That is best that ,with evil men ,thou sit not .

[124] Pity cometh mine that ,to the spectacle of the sward ,thou movest
For ,more pleasant than the red rose and more fresh than the wild white rose ,thou art .

[125] O rose beloved wonderful ,with all thy grace thou sittest with the thorn the watcher
Apparently ,in it ,the good counsel of thy welfare thou seest .

[126] From the rose - garden ,arose a morning breeze in desire of thee
For ,like the beautiful ,red ,beperfumed rose ; and ,like the wild white rose ,fragrant thou art .

[127] From left and right ,the bottle - play of my bloody tears thou seest :
If a moment ,on this spectacle - place of my vision ,thou sittest .

[128] O candle of Chigil with this delicacy ,and heart - alluringness thou art
Worthy of the banquet - place of Khwaja Jalalu - d - Din ,thou art .

[129] Taketh the patience of the heart of Hafiz ,the torrent of these streaming tears ,
O pupil of my eye come to my aid .

[130] O Saki 'tis the shade of the cloud ,and spring ,and the stream - bank
I say not ,do what .Of the men of heart Sufis thou art .Dothou thyself say .

[131] From this picture of outward Sufis cometh not the perfume of one colouredness constancy Arise ,
With pure wine ,the deceit - stained and tattered garment of the Sufi ,wash .

[132] Mean of nature ,is the world on its generosity ,rely not
O world - experienced one from the mean ,stability of foot do not thou - seek .

[133] Thy ear open .For ,this lament ,the bulbul saith
Khwaja deficiency commit not ; the rose of the grace of God smell .

[134] Thee ,two counsels I make ,Hear ; and a hundred treasures bear away :
By the door of pleasure ,enter in the path of defect ,do not strive .

[135] The true Beloved's face ,th'ou seekest Fit ,the mirror of the heart make ;
If not ,ever blossometh not the red rose and the wild white rose from hard iron and from base brass .

[136] Before that ,dust in the wine - house thou becomest
In the pavilion of the wine - house ,a space of one or two days ,strive .

[137] For thanks for that ,that again to spring thou hast reached ,
The root of goodness ,plant ; the rose of the grace of God smell .

[138] Thou saidest From our Hafiz ,cometh the perfume of hypocrisy
Afarin be on the breath for well thou broughtest a great perfume .

[139] From the cypress - hough ,in Pahlavi shout ,the bulbul ,
Last night ,the lesson of the stages of spirituality the Masnavl of Jalalu - d - Din Rumi kept saying

[140] Come ,for the rose hath displayed the fire of Musa ,
So that ,from the fiery bush ,the subtlety of the unity of God thou mayst hear .

[141] Melody - measuring and jest - uttering ,are the birds of the garden ,
So that ,to Pahlavi ghazals and Persian subtleties wine the khwaja may drink .

[142] Happy the time the quiet mat of beggary ; and the sleep thereon of tranquillity ,
For ,not befitting the khusravl crown is this ease .

[143] Naught from the world took Jamshld ,save the world - viewing cup ;
Ho on worldly chattels ,bind not thy heart .

[144] Darvish and beggar ,I am yet ,equal ,I make not
The ragged felt darvish cap to a hundred splendid khusravl crowns .

[145] To his son ,the years endured old villager spake how well ,
Saying : O light of my eye save that sown ,thou reapest naught .

[146] Man's house with the glance ,thy eye hath darkened
Thine ,be no wine - sickness For ,intoxicated ,happy thou goest .

[147] This tale of wonder of inverted fortune ,hear
Us ,the beloved ,with the revivifying breath of ' sa ,slew .

[148] To the slave's verse ,wine drink .Thine ,be no heart - straitedness
On the head of worldly chattels ,be dust after thee .

[149] Perchance ,more than his due Hafiz's allowance of wine the Saki gave ,
That disarranged became the Maulavi's turban - tassel .

[150] O thou void of news of love strive that the master of news ,thou mayst be
So long as way - farer thou art not ,road - guide how is it that thou mayst be

[151] In the school of truths and of ma'rifat before love's master the murshid ,perfect and excellent
Ho O son strive that ,one day worthy to be father old thou mayst be .

[152] Far from love's degree ,thee ,sleeping and eating put
To love ,thou attainest at that time when sleepless and foodless thou shalt be .

[153] When ,on thy heart and soul ,the light of God's love falleth ,
By God I swear that fairer than the sky's resplendent sun thou shalt be .

[154] From the copper of thy existence ,like men of the Path tarikat thy hand wash ,
So that love's alchemy ,thou mayst obtain and gold thou mayst be .

[155] From head to foot ,thine all God's light shall be ,
When footless and headless the world's chattels and ease abandoned in the Path of Him possessed of majesty ,thou shalt be .

[156] A moment ,immersed in God's sea ,be think not ,
That ,to the extent of a single hair ,with the water of seven all the seas of the world wet ,thou shalt be .

[157] If the face of God be the spectacle - place of thy vision
After this ,not a doubt remaineth that the possessor of vision ,thou shalt be .

[158] It ,below and above ruined the foundation of thy existence be ,
Think not in thy heart that ,below and above ,thou mayst be .

[159] Hafiz if in thy head be desire of union with the true Beloved
It is necessary that the dust of the court of Him possessed of vision ,thou shouldest be .

[160] In the morning ,the invisible speaker of the wine - house with fortune - wishing ,
Said O Hafiz come back for an old friend of this court thou art .

[161] Like Jamshld ,a draught of wine ,drink ,so that ,of the mystery of the angels ,
Thee ,the ray of the cup ,world - viewing ,may give news .

[162] At the wine - house door ,are Kalandar - profligates ,
Who take away and give the imperial diadem .

[163] Beneath the head ,the brick and the foot on the summit of the seven stars Pleiades
Behold the hand of power and the dignity of one possessed of dignity

[164] Together are our head and the door of the wine - house ,the side of the vault whereof
Is uplifted to the sky ,though the wall be of this lowliness .

[165] O traveller of the Path to the beggars of the wine - house door ,
Courteous be if ,acquainted with the mysteries of God ,thou be .

[166] O heart if thee ,the kingdom of poverty ,they give ,
Thy least territory will be from the moon above to the fish beneath supporting the earth

[167] Without the road - fellowship of Khizr ,this path travel not
'Tis the zulmat fear the danger of road - losing .

[168] The door of poverty ,thou knowest not how to beat .From the hand ,let not go ,
The seat of Lordship ,and the royal assembly of TQran .

[169] O Sikandar patiently sit useless grief ,suffer not
For ,thee ,the water of life ,they give not even on account of sovereignty .

[170] Hafiz ,crude of greed of this tale ,have shame
What is thy work ,reward for which two worlds thou desirest

[171] O them ,in whose face are revealed the splendours of sovereignty ;
And ,in whose thought ,are concealed divine philosophies

[172] In the country of faith ,thy reed it ,may God bless
A hundred fountains of the limpid water of life from a small ink - drop opened .

[173] On Ahriman ,shine not the splendours of the ism - i - a'zam ,
Thine ,is the country and the seal - ring .What thou wishest ,order .

[174] Doubt in Sulaiman's pomp ,whoever displayeth ,
On his wisdom and knowledge ,even the bird and the fish will in mockery laugh .

[175] Though ,sometimes ,on his head ,the cap of sovereignty ,the hawk putteth ,
The usage of sovereignty ,the birds of the mountain of Kaf well know .

[176] That sword ,to which ,out of its own bounty ,the sky giveth lustre ,
Alone ,without the aid of an army ,will sever the world .

[177] In respect of the friend and of the enemy ,pleasantly writeth in the magic figure thy reed
The amulet ,life - increasing for the friend sorcery ,life - decreasing for the enemy

[178] O them ,whose elements are created of the alchemy of honour
And thou ,whose fortune is safe from the disaster of ruin

[179] If ,on quarry and mine ,a flash of thy sword fall ,
To the ruby ,red of face ,it giveth the hue of withered yellow grass .

[180] O King tis a life time since void of wine was my cup
Behold thereof from the slave ,a claim ; and ,from the muhtasib ,testimony

[181] The weakness of the night - sitters ,I know ,thy heart will pity
If ,of the breeze of the morning - time ,my state thou ask .

[182] Saki Murshid from the fountain of the tavern of ma'rifat a little water bring ,
So that ,from the wonder of the monastery pride of our own devotion the khirkas ,we may wash and ,in supplication and in submission to God ,engage

[183] In Adam's household ,as long as the way of sovereignty was ,
Like thee ,none hath known this science of sovereignty as it is .

[184] Cometh not violence from the cruel sky so long as angel of quality thou art
Oppression on me departed from the world ,sinee world - shelter thou art .

[185] When ,on the sin of pure Adam ,lightning flashed ,
Us ,the claim to sinlessness how adorneth befitteth

[186] O asylum of created beings O bestower of gifts
On poor me whom calamities have visited mercy show

[187] Hafiz since ,sometimes ,thy name the King taketh mentioneth
To him ,grief on account of fortune display not in pardon - seeking ,come back .

[188] Not ,in all the cloisters of the magians ,is like me a distraught one
In one place ,the khirka my existence is the pledge for wine the book the heart in another place .

[189] The heart ,which is a royal mirror ,hath by worldly affairs and by the dross of sin a great dust ,the prohibitor of divine bounty
From God ,I seek the society of one ,luminous of opinion .

[190] From my eye to the skirt ,I have established streams of tears so that ,per .chance ,
In my bosom ,they may place one ,straight of stature .

[191] The bark shaped cup ,bring for ,without the Beloved's face ,
From the heart's grief ,every corner of the eye hath become a great ocean of tears

[192] By the hand of an idol ,wine - selling ,repentance I have made
That again ,wine I drink not without the face of a banquet - adorner .

[193] The mystery of this subtlety ,perchance ,the candle will bring to its tongue
If not ,for speech ,the moth hath not even a little solicitude .

[194] To me ,mistress - worshipping ,speak not of aught beside
For ,beyond her and the cup of wine ,for none is mine ,even a little solicitude .

[195] If of the way of its beauteous eye ,the narcissus boasted ,grieve not for ,vision ,it hath not
The man of vision goeth not in pursuit of a non - see - er .

[196] How pleasantly to me came this tale when in the morning time ,said ,
At the door of the wine - house ,with drum and reed ,a Christian

[197] If the being a musulman be of this sort that Hafiz is ,
Alas ,if ,after to - day ,be a to - morrow .

[198] In my eye ,the eye - brow of one moon of form ,I have made
The fancy of one fresh of down ,I have pictured a place .

[199] The hope is that the order of my love - play
May reach from that bow - eyebrow to the rank of a beautiful Tughra .

[200] From the hand ,went my head from expectation ,my eye consumed
In desire of the head and of the eye of an assembly - adorner .

[201] In that place where ,with a glance ,the lovely ones strike the sword ,
Wonder not ,at a head which ,hath fallen severed at a foot .

[202] From separation perturbed is my heart ; fire to the khirka ,I will set and ,from this ,escape
Come ,come for ,glorious ,it will make a spectacle .

[203] Since ,from His the true Beloved's face the effulgent moon in the bedchamber is mine ,
For the twinkling of the star the illusory beloved where is even a little solicitude

[204] My heart's rein I ,the darvlsh ,have given to that one God
To whom ,for any one's crown ,or throne ,is not even a little solicitude .

[205] Separation or union what martereth it The Friend's will ,seek
For ,from Him ,aught beside union with Him ,vain is a wish .

[206] In the day of events of death make ye our coffin of the lofty cypress ,
For ,we go with the mark of a lofty one .

[207] For scattering on Hafiz through exceeding desire the fishers bring forth pearls ,
If Hafiz's bark should reach a sea .

[208] A salutation ,like the pleasant perfume of friendship ,
To that man of the eye of light

[209] A salutation ,like the light of the heart of the pious
To that candle of the khilvat - place of piety .

[210] None of my fellow - companions in his place ,I see
With grief ,my heart is become blood .Saki the murshid where art thou

[211] The wine ,sufl - overthrowing ,they sell where
For ,in torment ,I am from the hand of austerity of hypocrisy .

[212] The covenant of society ,the companions have so shattered ,
That thou mayst say Verily ,hath not been friendship .

[213] Thy face ,away from the street of the magians ,turn not .For ,there ,
They sell the key of the opening of difficulty .

[214] Although within limit ,the bride of the world hath beauty ,
Beyond limit ,she taketh the way of unfaithfulness .

[215] My shattered heart if it's be a desire ,
Desireth not ,from those stone of heart ,a mumiya .i .

[216] Thee ,the chemistry of happiness ,I will teach
From bad fellowship ,separation ,separation

[217] O lust of greed if thou leave me ,
Great sovereignty contentment I will make in beggary .

[218] Hafiz of time's violence ,complain not
O slave what knowest thou divine work

[219] O king of the lovely the beloved ones of the world for grief of being alone ,justice
Without Thee ,to the soul ,my heart hath come .Tis the time when thou shouldst come back ; and me safety ,give

[220] Me ,so far from Thee desirousness and farness made ,
That ,from the hand ,will depart the power of patience .

[221] O Beloved the pain of love for Thee is my remedy on the couch of unfulfilled desire
And O Beloved Thy memory ,my consoler in the corner of solitude .

[222] In the compass of our fate ,the point of the compass ,are we
The favour is whatever Thou thinkest the order ,whatever Thou orderest .

[223] In the world of profligacy of being a lover of God is neither thought of self ,nor opinion of self :
In this religious order ,Kufr is self - seeing and self - opinioning .

[224] O Lord to whom is it fit to utter this subtlety that ,in the world ,
That lovely one of every place the true Beloved His face displayed not .

[225] Last night ,to the morning breeze ,complaint of His tress ,I uttered
The breeze said A mistake This thy distraught thought ,abandon of Him complain not ; whatever He wisheth ,He doeth

[226] Here with the chain of His tress a hundred morning breezes keep dancing
O heart so long as thou measurest not the wind a thing impossible to do this is thy companion .

[227] Saki not a colour of decoration hath the sward of the rose without thy face ;
Moving make thy box - tree stature so that the garden thou mayst adorn .

[228] O Beloved ever joyous ,remaineth not the rose of this garden of the world .
At the time of powerfulness perfection of beauty the feeble ones aid and their state ,pity

[229] On account of this blue circle the sky bloody of liver I am give wine
So that ,in the enamel - cup ,this difficulty I may solve .

[230] Hafiz departed hath the night of separation come hath the sweet fragrance of morn
O lover of distraughtness auspicious be thy gladness .

[231] O heart if ,from that pit of the chin of the true Beloved thou comest forth ,
Everywhere that thou goest ,quickly regretful ,thou comest forth .

[232] It is possible that even with a little water thee ,the sky may not aid
If ,thirsty of lip ,and hopeless from the fountain of life thou comest forth .

[233] Sense keep for if lust's temptation thou heed ,
From the garden of Rizvan ,like Adam ,thou comest forth .

[234] In desire of seeing thee ,like the radiant morning ,my soul I surrender ;
Possibly ,like the gleaming sun ,thou mayest come forth .

[235] Like the breeze ,on thee ,the breath of blessing I send to such a degree
That ,from the rose - bud ,like the rose ,joyous and laughing thou comest forth .

[236] In the dark night of separation from thee ,to the lip ready to depart came my soul
'Tis the time when like the shining moon ,thou comest forth .

[237] From my two eyes ,on the dust of thy door ,I have established a hundred streams
It may be that ,like the moving cypress thou mayest come forth .

[238] In the house of grief and of reproach ,how long sittest thou
'Tis time that ,by the Sultan's fortune ,thou shouldst come forth .

[239] Hafiz think not that that Yusuf ,moon of face the Beloved
Again cometh to thee and that ,from the hut of sorrow ,thou comest forth .

[240] Wine ,demand rose - scattering ,make from time ,what seekest thou
Thus ,at morn ,to the bulbul spake the rose .What sayest thou

[241] To the rose - garden ,the cushion take so that of the lovely one and of the Saki ,
The lip ,thou mayst take ,and the cheek ,kiss so that wine thou mayst drink and the rose ,smell .

[242] Let us see ,in whose fortune will be thy laughing rose - bud
O bough of the rose ra'na for whose sake ,growest thou

[243] O beloved the box - tree of thy stature proudly move ; and ,the resolution of sauntering in the garden ,make
So that ,from thy stature ,the lofty ,straight cypress may learn heart - seeking .

[244] To - day ,when full of tumult of the purchaser is thy market ,
Get ,and establish a little road - provision out of the capital of goodness .

[245] As ,in the thoroughfare of the breeze ,is the flaming candle ,so is thy good going 'tis profitless
A little profit of skill ,derive out of the capital of goodness .

[246] That tress ,every ringlet whereof is worth a hundred musk - pods of Chin ,
Happy had it been if had been its perfume from happy disposition

[247] In the king's rose - bed ,cometh every bird singing
The bulbul to melody - making ; Hafiz to prayer - uttering .

[1] Es sey gedanket Gott dem Herrn, Daß billig ist der Fürst; Sultan Ahmed, der Sohn Oweisens, Hasans, des Ilchaniden.

[2] Ein Chan der Chane, und ein Fürst Der Fürsten von Geburt, Der es verdienet, daß du ihn Die Weltenseele nennst.

[3] Das Auge hat zwar nichts geseh'n, Blind glaubt es deinem Glück. Sey mir willkommen, sey willkomm, Du, Gottes Gnaden werth!

[4] Und gehet ohne dein Gebet, Der Mond am Himmel auf, Du schneidest ihn entzwei, wie einst Ahmed durch's Wunderwerk.

[6] Du kräusle deine Locken auf, Wie sie der Thürke kräus't, Denn du vereinst den hohen Muth, Das Glück von Dschengischan.

[7] Ich trinke weit von dir entfernt, Dir zur Gesundheit Wein, Denn auf dem Weg der Geister giebt's Sonst keine Station.

[8] Die Rose Farsistans entblüht Für mein Vergnügen nicht. Wie schön ist nicht des Tigris Fluth, Und durchgewürzter Wein.

[9] Wie kann sich ein verliebtes Haupt, Dem's an des Liebchens Thür Als Staub zu bleiben nicht gefällt, Sich retten vor dem Gram!

[10] O Morgenwind! bring' mir den Staub Von meinem Freunde zu, Womit Hafis erleuchten wird Des Auges dunkle Nacht.

[1] پیرانه سرم عشق جوانی به سر افتاد
وان راز که در دل بنهفتم به درافتاد

چون نافه بسی خون دلم در جگر افتاد

[4] از رهگذر خاک سر کوی شما بود

بس طرفه حریفیست کش اکنون به سر افتاد

[1] Elderly of head ,into my head youthful love ,hath fallen
And that mystery of love that ,in the heart ,I concealed ,out hath fallen .

[2] From vision's path ,the bird of my heart went soaring
O eye of my heart behold into whose snare ,it the bird of the heart hath fallen .

[3] O sorrow that ,for that musky deer ,dark of eye ,
Like the musk - pod ,much heart's blood ,into my liver ,hath fallen .

[4] From the thoroughfare of the gracious dust of the head of your street ,is
Every musk - pod that ,in the hand of the morning - breeze ,hath fallen .

[5] Since thy eye - lashes drew forth the sword ,world - seizing ,
Many a slain one ,heart - alive the true lover it is that ,on each other ,hath fallen .

[6] In this house of retribution the upspringing of the world
With the dreg - drunkards holy men whoever in strife fell ,out in wretchedness hath fallen .

[7] If the valueless black stone give its own life ,it becometh not the valuable ruby :
What may it do With its original ill nature ,it ,the state of ill - nature hath befallen .

[8] Hafiz whose happy hand hath the tress of idols ,
Into his head ,a very powerful rival is it the tress that hath fallen .

[9] Lament that notwithstanding discernment ,that bird ,speech - weighing ,
Its path ,thought attacked and ,into the snare of danger ,it the bird hath fallen .

[1] Die Liebe eines Jünglings ist In meinen greisen Kopf gefallen, Das Heimliche, was ich verbarg, Ist zu der Thür hinausgefallen.

[2] Der Vogel meines Herzens ist Geflogen auf den Weg der Liebe, O habe darauf Acht, mein Aug', In wessen Netz er denn gefallen.

[3] Ob der Gaselle, weh! o weh! Der Moschus haucht aus schwarzen Augen, Ist vieles Blut hinab in's Herz, Wie in die Moschushaut gefallen.

[4] Als an dem Staube eurer Thür, Der Morgenwind vorbeigegangen, Ist jeder Duft, den er besitzt, In seines Odems Hand gefallen.

[5] Seit das erobrungsreiche Schwert Die Wimpern aufgehoben haben, Sind todten Herzens, Lebende Zusammen auf den Platz gefallen. Von wem ward dieser Wind ernähr't, Daß in den Schenken alle Trunk'nen, Sobald sein Edensodem weht, Wie sinnenlos zusammenfallen.

[6] Ich habe vom Vergeltungsrecht Auf dieser Erde viel erfahren, Wer Hefetrinkern Böses that, Ist in ein böses Loos gefallen. Zuletzt wird euch ein Herzensgram, Ein Herzensweh euch übermannen, Von dieser Gluth, die Herzen brennt, Die feucht und trocken ausgefallen. O weh! mit dieser Schlauigkeit Ist dieser wortgelehrte Vogel In leere Zweifel und Verdacht, Und endlich gar in's Netz gefallen.

[7] Der schwarze Stein wird kein Rubin, Und opfert er auch selbst die Seele, Er ist in niedrige Natur Von seinem Ursprung hergefallen.

[8] Hafis, der sonst das Handpferd ritt, Von aller schönen Lockenspitzen, Ist doch ein wunderlicher Tropf, Er ist vom Gaul auf's Haupt gefallen.

For ,O beloved ,if thou be only a dreg - drinker ,the intoxication ,of wine - sickness of the love for God even this dreg bringeth .

That ,by the marge of the stream ,he may sit and into his embrace ,a cypress may bring .

So that ,me ,by the hook ,the true Beloved taketh .

و از لب ساقی شرابم در مذاق افتاده بود

[2] از سر مستی دگر با شاهد عهد شباب
رجعتی می‌خواستم لیکن طلاق افتاده بود

[3] در مقامات طریقت هر کجا کردیم سیر
عافیت را با نظربازی فراق افتاده بود

[4] ساقیا جام دمادم ده که در سیر طریق
هر که عاشق وش نیامد در نفاق افتاده بود

[5] ای معبر مژده‌ای فرما که دوشم آفتاب
در شکرخواب صبوحی هم وثاق افتاده بود

[6] نقش می‌بستم که گیرم گوشه‌ای زان چشم مست
طاقت و صبر از خم ابروش طاق افتاده بود

[7] گر نکردی نصرت دین شاه یحیی از کرم
کار ملک و دین ز نظم و اتساق افتاده بود

[8] حافظ آن ساعت که این نظم پریشان می‌نوشت
طایر فکرش به دام اشتیاق افتاده بود

[2] With the lovely one of lusty youth's time ,again ,through intoxication ,
I desired restitution of conjugal rights .But divorce from youth's time had fallen .

[3] In the stages of tarikat ,wherever we travelled ,
In glance - playing ,ease ,separation had befallen .

[4] O SakI momently ,give the cup .For ,in the travelling of the Path ,
Who lover - like was not ,into hyprocrisy had fallen .

[5] interpreter of dreams give glad tidings .For ,last night ,to me ,the sun ,
In the sweetness of the morning sleep ,as an ally had fallen .

[6] I established the idea saying Apart from that intoxicated eye ,I will take the corner of retirement
From the curve of his eye - brow arch like a terrible bow my power of patience had fallen .

[7] If ,through liberality ,the king had not been Yahi Nasratu - d - Din ,
From order and peace ,the work of the country and of religion had fallen .

[8] That moment when Hafiz wrote this agitated verse ,
Into the snare of longing desire ,the bird of his thought had fallen .

[1] Ein Morgen war, wo mir ein Glas Von Wein ist zugefallen. Wo von dem Mund des Schenken Wein Mir auf den Gaum gefallen.

[2] Der Jugend-Zeiten wollte ich Zurücke wieder führen, Ach leider! daß schon lange her Die Scheidung vorgefallen.

[3] Wohin ich immer gieng und kam, Erfuhr ich, daß die Heilung Von seiner Blicke süßem Spiel Sehr weit entfernt gefallen.

[4] O Schenke gieb den Becher her, Denn wer auf diesem Pfade Nicht wie Verliebte gehet, ist In Heuchelei verfallen.

[5] Verkündigt Freudenkunde nun, Weil in dem Morgenschlafe Noch gestern in mein Kämmerlein Ein Sonnenstrahl gefallen.

[6] In eine Ecke träumt' ich mich, Von seinem trunk'nen Auge, Ach leider! daß mir die Geduld Ob seinen Brau'n entfallen!

[8] Vernehmet, daß Hafisens Geist, Als er dies Lied geschrieben, Gleich einem Vogel in das Netz Von der Begier gefallen.

German Translation

[1] خیال روی تو در هر طریق همره ماست
نسیم موی تو پیوند جان آگه ماست

[2] به رغم مدعیانی که منع عشق کنند
جمال چهره تو حجت موجه ماست

[3] ببین که سیب زنخدان تو چه می‌گوید
هزار یوسف مصری فتاده در چه ماست

[4] اگر به زلف دراز تو دست ما نرسد
گناه بخت پریشان و دست کوته ماست

[5] به حاجب در خلوت سرای خاص بگو
فلان ز گوشه نشینان خاک درگه ماست

[6] به صورت از نظر ما اگر چه محجوب است
همیشه در نظر خاطر مرفه ماست

[7] اگر به سالی حافظ دری زند بگشای
که سال‌هاست که مشتاق روی چون مه ماست

[1] In every path of Islam ,the image of Thy face fellow - traveller of ours is .
Ever ,the perfume of Thy hair ,the soul - informer of ours is .

[2] In grief of those claimants ,who forbid love ,
The beauty of Thy face ,the approved argument of ours is .

[3] Behold ,what saith the apple of Thy chin
Many a Yusuf of Egypt fallen into the pit ,of our is .

[4] If to our hand reach not Thy long tress ,
The sin of the perturbed fortune ,and of the short hand of ours is .

[5] To the chamberlain Iblis full of fraud of the door of the private chamber ,say :
Of those corner - sitting ,a certain one though through grief yellow of face like straw the dust of the court of Ours is .

[6] Although ,apparently ,He is veiled from our sight ,
He ,ever ,in the sight of the tranquil heart ,of ours is .

[7] O Iblis If ,as a beggar ,Hafiz knock at that door whereof thou art chamberlain open
For ,it is years since he ,desirous of the moon - like face of Ours was .

[1] Der Schatten deines Bilds Mir überall Geleitsmann ist, Und deiner Locken Hauch Der Seele angehauchet ist,

[2] Daß jedem Läugner, der Aus Blindheit Hohn der Liebe spricht, Der Reiz des Angesichts, Die klarste Widerlegung ist.

[3] O siehe! was zu uns Des Kinnes Apfel lächelnd spricht, Mehr als ein Jusuf schon In diesen Brunn gefallen ist.

[4] Wenn des Verliebten Hand Zu deinen Locken nicht gelang't, So ist es, weil die Hand, Zu kurz, sein Loos zerstöret ist.

[5] Dem Hüter sag' am Thor, Des innern heimlichen Gemach's: "Vernimm, daß dieser ein "Bewohner meines Staubes ist.

[6] "Es weilt auf ihm der Blick "Des unbefangenen Gemüth's, "Wiewohl dem Scheine nach "Er weit davon entfernet ist.

[7] "Und klopfet an dem Thor' "Hafis der Bettler, öffne selbes, "Weil er seit manchem Jahr "Nach meinem Mond begierig ist.

German Translation

[1] مرحبا ای پیک مشتاقان بده پیغام دوست
تا کنم جان از سر رغبت فدای نام دوست

[2] واله و شیداست دایم همچو بلبل در قفس
طوطی طبعم ز عشق شکر و بادام دوست

[3] زلف او دام است و خالش دانه آن دام و من
بر امید دانه‌ای افتاده‌ام در دام دوست

[4] سر ز مستی برنگیرد تا به صبح روز حشر
هر که چون من در ازل یک جرعه خورد از جام دوست

[5] بس نگویم شمه‌ای از شرح شوق خود از آنک
دردسر باشد نمودن بیش از این ابرام دوست

[6] گر دهد دستم کشم در دیده همچون توتیا
خاک راهی کان مشرف گردد از اقدام دوست

[7] میل من سوی وصال و قصد او سوی فراق
ترک کام خود گرفتم تا برآید کام دوست

[8] حافظ اندر درد او می‌سوز و بی‌درمان بساز
زان که درمانی ندارد درد بی‌آرام دوست

[1] Welcome O Messenger of the Longing Ones ,give the message of the Friend
That ,with the essence of pleasure ,I may make my soul a sacrifice for the Friend .

[2] Wailing and lamenting perpetually is like the BulbQl in the cage
Of parrot - nature ,am I through love of sugar the lip and of the almond the eye of the Friend .

[3] His tress is the snare the grain of that snare ,his mole and I ,
In hope of that grain ,have fallen into the snare of the Friend .

[5] Even a little by way of explanation of my own desire ,I uttered not on that account
It is head - pain to show more than this importunity to the Friend .

[6] Into my eye ,I put as collyrium ,if it be gained ,
The dust of the precious path that becometh honoured by the footstep of the Friend .

[7] My inclination ,towards Union and His towards separation
Helpless I abandoned my own desire that there might issue the desire of the Friend .

[8] Hafiz In grief for Him ,continue to consume remediless ,be content .
On that account ,that no remedy hath the restless pain of the Friend .

[1] Sey mir gegrüßt der Wünscher Bothe, Gieb uns Kunde der Freundinn, Daß auch ich die Seele opfern möge Für den Namen der Freundinn.

[2] Närrisch und irr wie die Nachtigallen Hascht des trunkenen Sinnes, Papagey im Bauer gierig Nach dem Zucker der Freundinn.

[3] Netze sind ihre Locken, und ihr Schwarzes Maal ist ein Körnlein; Sehnsuchtsvoll nach dem Körnlein fiel ich In die Netze der Freundinn.

[4] Bis an den jüngsten Tag wird jener Nicht die Trunkenheit lassen, Der so wie ich am Tag des Looses Trank vom Becher der Freundinn.

[5] Ihren Genuß verlang ich sehnlichst, Ihr Verlangen ist Trennung, Gerne vergeß ich meine Wünsche, Wird vergnüget die Freundinn.

[6] Meinem Gesichte will ich schwarzen Staub auflegen statt Schminke, Wenn mir ein gutes Glück den Staub bringt Von der Schwelle der Freundinn.

[7] Meine Begierde hab ich weiter Nicht erläutert der Freundinn, Denn die Erklärung, ach! ich fürcht' es Wäre beschwerlich der Freundinn.

[8] Feuer des Grams verzehrt Hafisen Ohne Rettung. Erduld' es! Nimmer gewährt verliebten Herzen Ruh' die Unruh' der Freundinn.

German Translation

[1] کس نیست که افتاده آن زلف دوتا نیست
در رهگذر کیست که دامی ز بلا نیست

[2] چون چشم تو دل می‌برد از گوشه نشینان
همراه تو بودن گنه از جانب ما نیست

[3] روی تو مگر آینه لطف الهیست
حقا که چنین است و در این روی و ریا نیست

[4] نرگس طلبد شیوه چشم تو زهی چشم
مسکین خبرش از سر و در دیده حیا نیست

[5] از بهر خدا زلف مپیرای که ما را
شب نیست که صد عربده با باد صبا نیست

[6] بازآی که بی روی تو ای شمع دل افروز
در بزم حریفان اثر نور و صفا نیست

[7] تیمار غریبان اثر ذکر جمیل است
جانا مگر این قاعده در شهر شما نیست

[8] دی می‌شد و گفتم صنما عهد به جای آر
گفتا غلطی خواجه در این عهد وفا نیست

[9] گر پیر مغان مرشد من شد چه تفاوت
در هیچ سری نیست که سری ز خدا نیست

[10] عاشق چه کند گر نکشد بار ملامت
با هیچ دلاور سپر تیر قضا نیست

[11] در صومعه زاهد و در خلوت صوفی
جز گوشه ابروی تو محراب دعا نیست

[12] ای چنگ فروبرده به خون دل حافظ
فکرت مگر از غیرت قرآن و خدا نیست

[1] Who is not fallen into that doubled tress is none
In whose path is it ,that a snare of calamity is none

[2] Since from the corner - sitters Thy eye ravished my heart
To be in thy train ,a sin on our part is none .

[3] Perchance ,thy face is the mirror of divine light
O God I swear that thus it is and ,in this ,dissimulation and hypocrisy is none .

[4] The narcissus seeketh the way of thy eye ,O excellent eye
To the wretched narcissus news of its mystery ; and ,in its eye ,light is none .

[5] For God's sake ,adorn not thy tress for ours ,
Is no night when ,with the morning wind ,many a conflict is none .

[6] candle ,heart - kindling come back ; for ,without Thy face ,
At the banquet of companions ,the effect of light and of purity is none .

[8] Last night ,He went and I said O idol fulfil Thy covenant
He said O Khwaja thou art in error fidelity in this covenant is none .

[9] If the Pir of the magians become my Murshid what difference
There is no head ,in which a mystery of God is none .

[10] Against the sun resplendent to speak saying : I am the fountain of light .
Worthy even of obscure Suha ,the great ones know is none .

[1] Keiner ist, der nicht in diese doppelte Locke gefallen, Wo ist ein Weg, den nicht Netze des Unglücks umziehn?

[2] Da dein Auge sogar frömmsten Klausnern das Herz raubt, Ists dir nachzuzieh'n keine Beschimpfung für mich?

[3] Dein Gesicht ist vielleicht ein Spiegel des göttlichen Lichtes, Wahrlich! wahrlich! so ist's, keine Verstellung ist dieß. Dein Gesicht zu bereun, hat mir der Klausner befohlen, Schämt er sich nicht vor Gott, schämt er sich auch nicht vor dir! Unseren bitteren Schmerz bewein' o Kerze des Moschus, Denn die heimliche Gluth zehret an mir wie an dir! Zeuge sey mir Gott, und Gott genügt mir als Zeuge, Diese Thränen sind köstliches Martyrerblut.

[4] Sieh die Narzisse verlangt nach deinem liebkosenden Auge, Welch ein Aug'! Es hat weder Erfahrung noch Glanz.

[5] Ich beschwör' dich bey Gott, du sollst nicht kräuseln die Locken, Denn ich schlag' mit dem Ost jegliche Nacht mich herum.

[6] Komm zurück, denn ohne das Herzen erleuchtende Antlitz Ist die Freude verbannt, aus dem geselligen Kreis.

[7] Sieh! für Fremde zu sorgen war sonst die löblichste Sitte, Ist vielleicht das Gesetz fremde in Euerer Stadt?

[8] Gestern gieng sie weg, ich sprach, vollzieh' das Versprechen, Ach! du irrest, sprach Sie; Zeiten der Treu' sind vorbei.

[9] Da der alte Wirth zu unserem Jünger geworden, Kommt auf jegliches Haupt Gottes Geheimniß herab. Männer von Einsicht wissen es wohl, es zieme dem Blöden Nicht zu der Sonne zu schreyn: ich bin die Quelle des Lichts.

[10] Treffen muß den Verliebten der Pfeil des Schimpfes und Tadels, Wider des Schicksals Pfeil decket die Helden kein Schild.

[11] In des Klausners Gemach, und in der Zelle des Sofi's Giebt es keinen Altar als die Winkel der Brau'n.

[12] Wenn du die Hand eintauchst in Hafisens geronnenes Herzblut, Fürchte du dich vor Gott, daß er nicht räch' den Koran.
