[1]  My heart ,in desire of the face of Farrukh ,
Is in confusion like the dishevelled hair of Farrukh .

[2]   Save the black Hindu slave of his tress ,is none ,
That enjoyed prosperity from the face of Farrukh .

[3]   The black tress pf good fortune is that which ever
Is the fellow - traveller and the fellowknee - sitter of Farrukh .

[4]   Like the trembling aspen ,becometh the cypress of the garden ,
If it see the heart - alluring stature of Farrukh .

[5]   O Saki give wine of arghavan hue
To the memory of the eye of sorcery of Farrukh .

[6]   Bent like a bow ,became my stature
From grief continuous as the eyebrow of Farrukh .

[7]   The breeze of the musk of Tatar ,ashamed made
The perfume of the tress of ambergris of

[8]   If to a place ,be the inclination of any one's heart ,
The inclination of my heart is towards the grace of Farrukh .

[9]   I am the slave of resolution of that one who is
Like Hafiz ,the attendant of the black tress of Farrukji .

[1]  Mein Herz verlangt nach dem Gesicht Farruch's,Es ist verwirret wie das Haar Farruch's,

[2]  Ich nehme aus sein Hindufarbes Haar,Sonst Niemand naht sich dem Gesicht Farruch's,

[3]  O dreymal glücklich ist er, dieser Schwarze,Er, der Begleiter und Gefährt' Farruch's,

[4]  Wie Weiden zittert die Cypreß' im Garten,Sobald sie sieht den hohen Wuchs Farruch's

[5]  Gieb mir den safranfarben Wein, o Schenke,Zum Angedenken der Narziß' Farruch's.

[6]  Aus Gram hat sich mein Leib gekrümmt zum Bogen,Zum Bogen wie die Augenbraun' Farruch's,

[7]  Den Moschushauch vom Tartarland beschämet,Der Hauch des Ambradufts vom Haar Farruch's.

[8]  Wenn jedes Herz sich neigt nach einer Seite,So neiget meines sich ganz zu Farruch.

[9]  Ich diene gern dem hohen Geist von Jenem,Der wie Hafis sich nennt ein Sklav Farruch's.

[1]  The thought of the bulbul the holy traveller all is that ,that the rose the true Beloved his beloved may be
The rose ,in thought how ,in her work ,grace she may display .

[2]   Not all heart - ravishingness is that that slayeth the lover
Khwaja is he ,whose attendant is grief .

[3]   That is a place where into the ruby's heart the wave dasheth blood ,
With this loss that its the ruby's market - value ,the sherd shattereth .

[4]   From the bounty of the rose the true Beloved the bulbul the holy traveller learned speech and if not ,there had not been
In his beak ,all this sweet speech and song .

[5]   O thou that passest in the street of our Beloved ,
Full of caution ,be for the head ,his wall shattereth .

[6]   That travelled one the Beloved whose fellow - traveller is a hundred Kafilas of the heart ,
O God wherever he be ,him ,in safety from the peril of travel keep .

[7]   O heart although health's company happily falleth to thee ,
Precious ,is love's quarter : it ,abandon not .

[8]   Merry of head intoxicated the Sufi placed his cap aslant ,
With two cups of wine more ,disordered may be his turban .

[9]   The heart of Hafiz that had become accustomed to the sight of Thee
Is cherished with union .Its the heart's torment ,seek not .

[1]  Wenn die Begierde nicht die RuhIn deiner Seele störet,So findest du den Weg gewißZu ihrem Angesichte.

[2]  Es sinnt die Nachtigall, wie sieDie Rose zur Freundinn mache,Die Rose aber sinnt daraufDie Nachtigall zu kränken.

[3]  Der Mörder eines LiebendenIst noch kein Herzensräuber,Wer um die Dienerschaft sich sorgtIst wahrhaft ein Gebieter.

[4]  Es ist gerecht, daß der RubinIm Herzen blutig schäume,Wenn rothe Glaskorallen ihnIm Handel überwiegen.

[5]  Die Nachtigall hat den GesangGelernet von der Rose,Woher denn sonsten das GeschwätzDas Kosen ihres Schnabels?

[6]  Du, der vorbeigehst an dem HausVon dem geliebten Freunde,Gieb Acht, daß an der Mauer duDen Kopf dir nicht verschlagest.

[7]  O Gott! gieb dem gereißten Freund,Dem Hundert KarawanenDer Herzen folgen, gieb ihm stets,Wo er auch seyn mag, Wohlseyn!

[8]  O Herz! wie wohl dir das GesprächDes wahren Heils gefallen,Verlaß' du doch die Liebe nichtDenn sie ist hoch zu ehren.

[9]  Der Sofi, der im Rausche krummDie Mütze aufgesetzet,Zerwühlet (trinkt er noch ein PaarVon Gläsern) seinen Turban.

[1]  O Lord that fresh laughing rose whom to me ,Thou entrustedest ,
To Thee ,on account of the envious ones of the sward ,I entrust .

[2]   Although ,far to a hundred stages ,from the stage of fidelity he hath wandered ,
From his soul and body ,far be the calamity of the moon's revolution .

[3]   O morning breeze if to the head of the dwelling of Salma thou readiest ,
A salutation to her from me ,I have hope that thou wilt convey .

[4]   From that black tress ,courteously scatter musk
For the tress is the abode of clear hearts together heap it not or our heart will be ruined

[5]   Say To thy down and mole ,my heart hath the right of fidelity .
In that tress ,ambergris of coil ,it my heart sacred keep .

[6]   In the stage where ,to his lip ,they drink wine ,
Mean that intoxicated unconscious one to whom is consciousness of himself .

[7]   From the door of the wine - house ,not proper is it to gather goods and chattels ,
Into the sea ,cast the chattels of him who ,this water ,drinketh .

[8]   Not true is the love of him ,who in love feareth distress
Together ,be our head and his foot or our lip and his mouth .

[9]   Hafiz's verse ,the couplet of the g jazal ,all is divine knowledge
On his heart - alluring soul and grace of verse ,Afarin

[2]  Denn sie rauben das Herz, und sie bezaubern durchs Wort.

[3]  Ostwind gehst du die Wohnung von meiner Selma vorüber,Hoff' ich, daß du ihr Schönes entrichtest von mir.

[4]  Löse behutsam den Knäul von ihrem verworrenen Haar' auf,Herzen stecken darin, daß du sie ja nicht verwirrst.

[5]  Sag' ihr, es hab' an ihr Maal mein Herz der Fordrungen viele,Sie bewahr' es daher schonend in Ambragemisch.

[6]  Dort wo Gesundheit man trinkt aufs Angedenken des Munds,Ist ein Schurke, wer dort bleibt sich selber bewußt.

[7]  Ehren und Güter sind nicht an der Thüre der Schenke zu haben,Wer da trinket der werf', was ihm gehöret in's Meer.

[8]  Wer vor Leiden sich fürchtet, dem ziemt nicht das Leiden der Liebe;Unser Haupt ist ihr Fuß! unsere Lippen ihr Mund.

[9]  Deine Lieder Hafis! sind wahrlich der Grundreim der Dichtkunst

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[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 .

[81]   Deadly poison ,the sorrowful ones of calamity lovers ,sorrowful through sepa - ration from thee drink
The design of slaying this tribe of lovers is dangerous .Take care that it ,thou doest 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 .
