German Translation

[1] برنیامد از تمنای لبت کامم هنوز
بر امید جام لعلت دردی آشامم هنوز

[2] روز اول رفت دینم در سر زلفین تو
تا چه خواهد شد در این سودا سرانجامم هنوز

[3] ساقیا یک جرعه‌ای زان آب آتشگون که من
در میان پختگان عشق او خامم هنوز

[4] از خطا گفتم شبی زلف تو را مشک ختن
می‌زند هر لحظه تیغی مو بر اندامم هنوز

[5] پرتو روی تو تا در خلوتم دید آفتاب
می‌رود چون سایه هر دم بر در و بامم هنوز

[6] نام من رفته‌ست روزی بر لب جانان به سهو
اهل دل را بوی جان می‌آید از نامم هنوز

[7] در ازل داده‌ست ما را ساقی لعل لبت
جرعه جامی که من مدهوش آن جامم هنوز

[8] ای که گفتی جان بده تا باشدت آرام جان
جان به غم‌هایش سپردم نیست آرامم هنوز

[9] در قلم آورد حافظ قصه لعل لبش
آب حیوان می‌رود هر دم ز اقلامم هنوز

[1] Through desire of thy lip ,forth cometh not my desire yet
In the hope of the cup of thy ruby lip a dreg - drinker am I yet .

[2] On the first day the day of Alast in desire of thy two tresses ,departed my faith
Let us see ,in this phrensy ,what my end will be yet .

[3] O Saki perfect Murshid of that water ,fire of hue ,one draught ,give me .For I ,
In the midst of those experienced in His Love ,inexperienced am I yet .

[4] One night ,in mistake ,I called Thy hair the fragrant musk of Khutan
Momently ,a sword on my limbs saying why didst thou liken His glorious hair to contemptible musk the hair striketh yet .

[5] In my khilvat ,a ray of splendour of Thy face ,the resplendent sun beheld
Momently ,like the shadow ,to my door and roof ,he the sun goeth yet .

[6] One day ,in mistake ,to the true Beloved's lip ,went my name
To people of heart ,from my name the perfume of the soul of the Beloved cometh yet .

[7] To us ,in eternity without beginning ,the Saki gave the ruby of Thy lip
The draught of a cup ,of which cup ,senseless am I yet .

[8] O Thou that saidest Give thy soul ,that ease of heart may be thine ,
In griefs for Him the true Beloved my soul ,I gave .Mine ,not ease ,is yet .

[9] The tale of the ruby of Thy lip ,Hafiz brought into his pen writing
Momently ,from my pens ,the water of life floweth yet .

[1] Nach den Lippen bleibt mein WunschUnerfüllt noch immer,Harrend deinem GlasrubinTrink' ich Gram noch immer.

[2] An dem Tag des Looses stahlMir dein Haar den Glauben,Ach! ich harre auf das EndDieser List noch immer.

[3] Schenke gib den Hefen mirDieses Feuerwassers.Denn in der gekochten KreisBin ich roh noch immer.

[4] Ich verglich dein Haar bei NachtEinstens mit dem MoschusJedes Haar sticht mich dafürWie ein Schwert noch immer.

[5] Deinen Schimmer sah bei mirEines Tags die Sonne,Seitdem geht dem Schatten gleichVon der Thür sie nimmer.

[6] Eines Tags entfiel dem FreundUngefähr mein Name,Seht mein Name haucht seitdemSeelenduft noch immer.

[7] Vom Rubin der Lippen trankIch am Tag' des Looses,Von dem Hefen dieses TrunksTaumle ich noch immer.

[8] Gieb die Seele, sprachst du mirDaß du ruhig seyest,Sieh' ich gab sie ab dem SchmerzRuhe fehlt noch immer.

[9] Seit Hafisens Feder schriebVom Rubin der Lippen,Träuft des ewgen LebensquellAus der Feder immer.

German Translation

[1] خیال نقش تو در کارگاه دیده کشیدم
به صورت تو نگاری ندیدم و نشنیدم

[2] اگر چه در طلبت همعنان باد شمالم
به گرد سرو خرامان قامتت نرسیدم

[3] امید در شب زلفت به روز عمر نبستم
طمع به دور دهانت ز کام دل ببریدم

[4] به شوق چشمه نوشت چه قطره‌ها که فشاندم
ز لعل باده فروشت چه عشوه‌ها که خریدم

[5] ز غمزه بر دل ریشم چه تیر ها که گشادی
ز غصه بر سر کویت چه بارها که کشیدم

[6] ز کوی یار بیار ای نسیم صبح غباری
که بوی خون دل ریش از آن تراب شنیدم

[7] گناه چشم سیاه تو بود و گردن دلخواه
که من چو آهوی وحشی ز آدمی برمیدم

[8] چو غنچه بر سرم از کوی او گذشت نسیمی
که پرده بر دل خونین به بوی او بدریدم

[9] به خاک پای تو سوگند و نور دیده حافظ
که بی رخ تو فروغ از چراغ دیده ندیدم

[1] O true Beloved on the workshop of the eye ,the form of Thy face ,I drew
An idol in Thy form ,not I saw not I heard .

[2] Although in search of Thee ,equal in rein speed with the swift north breeze I am
Not even the dust of the swiftly moving cypress of Thy stature ,I reached .

[3] Hope in the dark night of Thy dark tress for the bright day of life ,I established not
From the heart's desire ,desire for Thy mouth's round form ,I severed ,

[4] From desire for Thy sweet fountain ,what drops tears they were that I scattered
From Thy ruby lip wine - selling ,what graces I purchased .

[5] On my wounded heart ,what arrows of glances ,Thou loosedest
At the head of Thy street ,what loads of grief I endured .

[6] O breeze of the morning from the true Beloved's street ,a little dust bring ;
For ,from that moist land ,the perfume of the blood of the wounded heart I perceived .

[7] The sin fault of Thy dark eye ,and of Thy heart - alluring neck ,it was ,
That ,like the wild deer ,from man I fled .

[8] Over my head ,from His street ,a fragrant breeze like the perfumed rose - bud passed ,
For obtaining the perfume of which ,the screen over my poor heart ,1 rent .

[9] The oath by the dust of Thy foot and by the light of the eye of Hafiz ,I swear that ,without Thy face ,
No splendour from the lamp of the eye ,I saw .

[1] Auf Herrschaft hoffte ich,Ich opferte mich deinem Dienste,Ich wünschte mir ein Reich,Und wählte dich zu meinem Herren.

[2] Ich habe dein GesichtVor die Fabrik des Augs gezogen.Ich sah und hörte nurVon einem Bilde, das dir gleichet.

[3] Wiewohl ich mit dem NordIn gleichem Flügelschritte gehe,So konnt' ich doch noch nichtZur Zeder deines Wuchses kommen.

[4] In deiner Locken NachtThat ich Verzicht auf Lebenstage,Im Kreise deines MundsVergaß ich meines Herzens Wünsche.

[5] Wie viel vergoß ich nichtAus Sehnsucht deines Auges Thränen!Wie viel LiebkosungenErkauft' ich nicht von deinen Lippen.

[6] Mit wie viel Pfeilen hastDu nicht mein Wundes Herz durchschoßen?Wie viele Lasten GramHab' ich in deinem Gau geschleppet?

[7] Bring' mir, o Morgenwind,Ein Stäubchen von dem Gau der Freundinn,Ich rieche dort den DuftDes Blutdurchströmten wunden Herzens.

[8] Fürwahr es ist die SchuldDes schwarzen Aug's und schönen Nacken,Daß ich wie Rehe scheuMich vor dem Menschen fürcht' und flüchte.

[9] Ein Duft aus ihrem GauGieng über mich wie über Knospen,Und dieser Duft zerrißDes armen Herzens Hülle.

German Translation

[1] گر دست دهد خاک کف پای نگارم
بر لوح بصر خط غباری بنگارم

[2] بر بوی کنار تو شدم غرق و امید است
از موج سرشکم که رساند به کنارم

[3] پروانه او گر رسدم در طلب جان
چون شمع همان دم به دمی جان بسپارم

[4] امروز مکش سر ز وفای من و اندیش
زان شب که من از غم به دعا دست برآرم

[5] زلفین سیاه تو به دلداری عشاق
دادند قراری و ببردند قرارم

[6] ای باد از آن باده نسیمی به من آور
کان بوی شفابخش بود دفع خمارم

[7] گر قلب دلم را ننهد دوست عیاری
من نقد روان در دمش از دیده شمارم

[8] دامن مفشان از من خاکی که پس از من
زین در نتواند که برد باد غبارم

[9] حافظ لب لعلش چو مرا جان عزیز است
عمری بود آن لحظه که جان را به لب آرم

[1] If the dust of the sole of my idol's foot give aid
With it on the tablet of vision ,a dusty line whereby my vision may be increased I will draw

[2] Overwhelmed in desire of Thy embrace I became and my hope is
That ,through the violence of the wave of my tear ,me to reach to the shore ,it the wave may cause .

[3] If in desire of my life ,His order reach me ,
That very moment ,like the candle ,in a moment ,my life a sacrifice for Him I surrender .

[4] To - day ,from fidelity to me ,turn not away Thy head and think
Of that night ,when ,through grief ,my hand in prayer ,I uplift .

[5] For the consolation of lovers ,Thy two tresses ,
A great covenant ,gave ; and my rest ,took .

[6] O breeze murshid me ,a fragrant waft from that cup of wine of divine love bring :
For ,from the grief of wine - sickness temptations of the world me convalescence ,that perfume giveth .

[7] If the Friend establish not the proof of the base - coin of my heart ,
From my eye ,in His path ,current coin tears I reckon .

[8] From me ,dusty ,shake not in pride thy skirt .For ,after death ,
From this door ,it is not possible that my dust even the whirling wind can take .

[9] Hafiz since His ruby lip is as the dear soul to me ,
That moment when to the lip of the true Beloved I bring my soul ,a lasting life mine will be .

[1] Meine Worte haben gelobt die Locken,Deßhalb hauchen sie nun Gerüche süß wieDüfte des Moschus.

[2] Wenn der Staub der Sohlen der Freundinn zu mir kommt,Will ich auf der Tafel des Aug's mit StaubeLinien zeichnen.

[3] Ich versank in deiner Umarmung Wünschen,Doch ich hoffe an das Gestade aus derFluth mich zu retten.

[4] Fodert mir ihr Schmetterling ab die Seele,Will ich wie die Kerze im AugenblickeOpfern die Seele.

[5] Ziehe nicht zurück vom Gemüth die Treue,Denk der Nacht, wo ich zum Gebet die Hand ausSchmerzen erhoben.

[6] Deine schwarzen Locken versprachen alleHerzen zu bewahren, und meines habenSie mir geraubet.

[7] Ostwind bring' mir einen Geruch vom Weine,Denn mich heilen diese Gerüche von demHefen des Schmerzens.

[8] Wenn sie keinen Werth für das Herz bestimmet,Will ich auf dem Weg statt der baaren MünzeStreuen die Augen.

[9] Wisch' nicht ab den Staub von dem Saum des KleidesBin ich einstens Staub, so vermag von dir keinWind mich zu wehren.

[1] نماز شام غریبان چو گریه آغازم
به مویه‌های غریبانه قصه پردازم

[2] به یاد یار و دیار آن چنان بگریم زار
که از جهان ره و رسم سفر براندازم

[3] من از دیار حبیبم نه از بلاد غریب
مهیمنا به رفیقان خود رسان بازم

[4] خدای را مددی ای رفیق ره تا من
به کوی میکده دیگر علم برافرازم

[5] خرد ز پیری من کی حساب برگیرد
که باز با صنمی طفل عشق می‌بازم

[6] بجز صبا و شمالم نمی‌شناسد کس
عزیز من که بجز باد نیست دمسازم

[7] هوای منزل یار آب زندگانی ماست
صبا بیار نسیمی ز خاک شیرازم

[8] سرشکم آمد و عیبم بگفت روی به روی
شکایت از که کنم خانگیست غمازم

[9] ز چنگ زهره شنیدم که صبحدم می‌گفت
غلام حافظ خوش لهجه خوش آوازم

[1] At the time of the evening - prayer of strangers when weeping I begin ,
With moans like a stranger ,my tale ,I compose .

[2] To the memory of the Friend and of my native land so bitterly I'weep ,
That ,up from the world ,the way and usage of journeying ,I cast .

[3] From the country of my true Beloved I am not from the cities of the stranger
divine Protector Me ,back to my companions ,cause to reach .

[4] guide of the Path for God's sake ,a little aid give so that ,
In the street of the wine - house ,my banner ,again I may exalt .

[5] Of my being a Pir ,reckoning how may wisdom take ,
When ,again ,with a child - idol at love I play .

[6] Save the east morning breeze and the cool north wind ,me recogniseth none
O my friend for ,save the fleeting wind ,my companion is none .

[7] The air of the Friend's dwelling is our water of life ,
O breeze from the dust of Shiraz ,me ,a fragrant perfume bring .

[8] Forth came my tear and told my crime face to face publicly
Complaint may I make of whom of my household ,the informer is .

[9] From the harp of Zuhra ,I heard that ,at dawn ,it said
The disciple of Hafiz ,sweet of note ,sweet of voice I am .

[1] Wenn ich fremd in der Nacht beim Gebet zu weinen beginne, Bringt der Freundinn Haar Wundergeschichten ans Licht.

[2] Weinen will ich, des Vaterlands und der Freunde gedenkend, Bis die Welt dereinst Reisen und Wandrer verbannt.

[3] Ich bin vom Lande des Freunds, und nicht aus der Fremde gebürtig; Sende mich, o Herr! meinen Gefährten zurück.

[4] Weiser des Wegs, ich beschwör' dich bei Gott, verschaff' mir ein Mittel, Daß ich im Schenkengau noch einmal pflanze die Fahn',

[5] Wann werd' ich dem Verstand die Rechnung legen vom Alter? Leider! bin ich jetzt wieder in Knaben verliebt.

[6] Außer dem Ost und außer dem West verstehet mich Niemand. O ich Seliger! der Keinem vertraut als dem Wind.

[7] Ha! die Luft vom Wohnort des Freunds ist mir Wasser des Lebens, Bring von Schirasens Staub, Ostwind Gerüche mir her!

[8] Meine Thräne verrieth mich von Angesicht zu Gesichte, Ach! wem klag' ich dieß, denn der Verräther bin ich.

[9] Morgens hörte ich, wie die Leyer der Sterne getönt hat; Süßre Töne ward ich von Hafisen gelehrt.

German Translation

[1] گلبرگ را ز سنبل مشکین نقاب کن
یعنی که رخ بپوش و جهانی خراب کن

[2] بفشان عرق ز چهره و اطراف باغ را
چون شیشه‌های دیده ما پرگلاب کن

[3] ایام گل چو عمر به رفتن شتاب کرد
ساقی به دور باده گلگون شتاب کن

[4] بگشا به شیوه نرگس پرخواب مست را
و از رشک چشم نرگس رعنا به خواب کن

[5] بوی بنفشه بشنو و زلف نگار گیر
بنگر به رنگ لاله و عزم شراب کن

[6] زان جا که رسم و عادت عاشق‌کشی توست
با دشمنان قدح کش و با ما عتاب کن

[7] همچون حباب دیده به روی قدح گشای
وین خانه را قیاس اساس از حباب کن

[8] حافظ وصال می‌طلبد از ره دعا
یا رب دعای خسته دلان مستجاب کن

[1] O Beloved for Thy rose - leaf ruddy face of the musky fragrant hyacinth the tress the veil make
That is Thy face conceal and a world ruined make .

[2] The sweat from Tby face ,scatter on the borders of the garden
As from seeing Thee the flagons of our eyes are full of rose - water ,tears so full of rose - water the garden make .

[3] Haste for departing ,like swift life ,the rose - season maketh :
Saki in the circulation of the cup of roseate hue ,haste make .

[4] Thy narcissus ,full of sleep ,intoxicated ,gracefully open
And ,in envy of Thy eye to sleep the eye of the lovely narcissus put .

[5] The dark violet's perfume ,perceive and the dark tress of the idol the true Beloved take
At the want of colour of the white lily ,gaze resolution for the ruddy wine make :

[6] Since the way and usage of lover - slaying is thine ,
With enemies ,the goblet drain with us ,reproach make .

[7] On the face of the goblet the murshid like vanishing bubbles ,open thy eye ;
The foundation of this house this world from that of vanishing bubbles ,estimation make .

[8] By the path of prayer ,union ,Hafiz seeketh
O Lord the prayer of those heart - broken accepted make .

[1] Verhüll' mit Moschushyacinthen Die Rosenblätter, Das ist die Wangen mit den Locken, Verheer' die Welten.

[2] Ström' Schweiß von deinem Angesichte, Füll' an die Gärten, Wie die Pokale unsrer Augen, Mit Rosenwasser.

[3] Des Lebens Tage geh'n vorüber Schnell wie die Rosen, O Schenke! eil' die Weinrubinen Herumzureichen.

[4] Schließ auf die schlafende und trunkne Narziß liebkosend, Daß die Narzissen eifersüchtig Sich schlafen legen.

[5] Mach' dich bekannt mit Veilchendüften, Schau' an die Locken, Schau' an der Tulpen Flor, begehre Das Glas zum trinken.

[6] Seitdem die Liebenden zu morden, Dir ward zur Sitte, Reichst du den Becher hin den Feinden Und schmählest unser.

[7] Siehst du das Weinglas, o so rolle Dein Aug' wie Blasen, Und schließ' aus Blasen auf den Zustand Des Weltgebäudes.

[1] بالابلند عشوه گر نقش باز من
کوتاه کرد قصه زهد دراز من

[2] دیدی دلا که آخر پیری و زهد و علم
با من چه کرد دیده معشوقه باز من

[3] می‌ترسم از خرابی ایمان که می‌برد
محراب ابروی تو حضور نماز من

[4] گفتم به دلق زرق بپوشم نشان عشق
غماز بود اشک و عیان کرد راز من

[5] مست است یار و یاد حریفان نمی‌کند
ذکرش به خیر ساقی مسکین نواز من

[6] یا رب کی آن صبا بوزد کز نسیم آن
گردد شمامه کرمش کارساز من

[7] نقشی بر آب می‌زنم از گریه حالیا
تا کی شود قرین حقیقت مجاز من

[8] بر خود چو شمع خنده زنان گریه می‌کنم
تا با تو سنگ دل چه کند سوز و ساز من

[9] زاهد چو از نماز تو کاری نمی‌رود
هم مستی شبانه و راز و نیاز من

[10] حافظ ز گریه سوخت بگو حالش ای صبا
با شاه دوست پرور دشمن گداز من

[1] One lofty of stature ,bold ,picture - player o f mine
Made short the tale of renown of the long austerity of mine .

[2] O heart thou sawest at the end of old age ,of austerity ,and of knowledge ,
What ,with me ,it did ,the eye of the beloved o f mine

[3] The destruction of my faith ,I fear .For taketh ,
The prayer - arch of Thy eyebrow the presence essence of prayer of mine .

[4] To myself I said With the garment of hypocrisy ,love's trace ,I concealed ;
The informer was the tear and made manifest the mystery of mine .

[5] Intoxicated ,is the Friend and recollection of rivals lovers maketh not
His mention be for good ,the Saki ,the wretched - cherisher of mine .

[6] O Lord when bloweth that breeze ,from whose fragrant breath
A perfume of His mercy becometh the work - doer of mine

[7] With weeping ,a picture on water I depict .Now ,
How long associated becometh the truth with the illusory of mine

[8] On myself ,like the laughing candle consuming and melting I weep ,
Till I see what with thee ,O heart of stone ,maketh worketh the consuming of mine .

[9] Zahid equal are we when a work favourably proceedeth neither by prayer of thine ;
Nor also ,by the nightly intoxication and consuming and supplicating of mine .

[10] With grief Hafiz burned .O breeze his state ,say
To the King ,friend - cherisher ,enemy - destroyer ,of mine .

[1] Mein hohes Liebchen, voll Liebkosungen, Hat die Enthaltsamkeit mir abgekürzt.

[2] Siehst du, was Alter, Tugend, Wissenschaft Mir angethan hat, sprach ich zu dem Liebchen.

[3] Ich fürchte meiner Frömmigkeit Ruin. Der Brauen Hochaltar raubt mir die Ruhe.

[4] Die Thränen haben mich in Gluth gestürzt, Sie haben mein Geheimniß ausgeplaudert.

[5] Mein Freund ist trunken, denk' des Freundes nicht. Der Schenke gnädig für die Armen lebe.

[6] O Herr! wann weht der Hauch des Morgenwinds, Durch dessen Duft ich einst gerettet werde?

[7] Ich mahl' ein Bild auf meiner Thränen Fluth, Wann wird, o Herr! das Bildliche erst wirklich?

[8] Wie Kerzen lächelnd wein' ich über mich. O steinern Herz, was macht die Fluth und Flamme!

[9] O Mönch! Nichts kömmt aus dem Gebet heraus, Viel besser ists, bey Tag und Nacht zu trinken.

مشک سیاه مجمره گردان خال تو

[2] صحن سرای دیده بشستم ولی چه سود
کاین گوشه نیست درخور خیل خیال تو

[3] در اوج ناز و نعمتی ای پادشاه حسن
یا رب مباد تا به قیامت زوال تو

[4] مطبوعتر ز نقش تو صورت نبست باز
طغرانویس ابروی مشکین مثال تو

[5] در چین زلفش ای دل مسکین چگونه‌ای
کشفته گفت باد صبا شرح حال تو

[6] برخاست بوی گل ز در آشتی درآی
ای نوبهار ما رخ فرخنده فال تو

[7] تا آسمان ز حلقه به گوشان ما شود
کو عشوه‌ای ز ابروی همچون هلال تو

[8] تا پیش بخت بازروم تهنیت کنان
کو مژده‌ای ز مقدم عید وصال تو

[9] این نقطه سیاه که آمد مدار نور
عکسیست در حدیقه بینش ز خال تو

سودای کج مپز که نباشد مجال تو

[1] O Thou that hast the resplendent sun ,the mirror - holder of the beauty of Thine ;
And the musk dark fragrant tress ,the censer - circulator of the dark mole of Thine

[2] The court - yard of the palace of the eye ,I washed .But what profit
Not fit is this retired corner for the troop of the fancy of love of Thine .

[3] O sun of beauty in the height of grace and graciousness ,thou art
O Lord till the up - standing the resurrection be no decline of Thine

[4] More agreeable than Thy picture ,no picture ,delineated ,
The Tughra - scribe God ,great and glorious the musky dark beperfumed eye - brow like the eye - brow of Thine .

[5] O poor heart in the curl of His tress ,how art thou
For perturbed ,the morning breeze uttered the circumstances of thine

[6] O beloved hath risen the perfume ,of the rose by the door of friendship come and union choose
O fresh spring of ours the auspicious face is the omen of Thine .

[7] So that of the crowd of our beringed ones slaves the sky may be ,
Where ,the charm of an eye - brow like the new crescent moon of Thine

[8] So that offering congratulation ,I may go back to fortune ,
Where ,the glad tidings of the approach of the 'idd of the union - of Thine

[9] This dark spot ,that became the centre of luminosity ,
Is in the fold of vision ,only a reflection of the dark mole of Thine .

[10] Before the Khwaja ,which hardship shall I represent
The explanation of my own need was the displeasure of Thine .

[11] Hafiz in this noose the beloved's tress is the head of many a headstrong one ;
Crude passion ,indulge not ; for it is not the power of thine .

[1] Die Sonne ist der Spiegelhalter Von deiner Schönheit, Der Moschus ist das schwarze Rauchfaß Von deinem Maale.

[2] Ich habe meiner Augen Hofraum Zwar rein gewaschen, Allein, was nützt es, dieser Winkel Ist deiner unwerth.

[3] Es stehet im Zenith der Anmuth Die Schönheits-Sonne! O Herr! bis an das End' der Welten Geh' sie nicht unter!

[4] Es mahlte der Diplomenmahler Von Moschusbrauen, Bisher kein schöneres Gemählde, Als deine Formen.

[6] Es steigen auf des Friedens Düfte, O komm' zu mir her! Du bist für uns mit deinen Wangen Der junge Frühling.

[7] Wann werden deine Augenbrauen Mir wieder schmeicheln? Damit ich selbst den Himmel zähle Zu meinem Sklaven.

[8] O gieb beim Feste des Genusses Mir Freundenkunde, Damit ich zu dem Schicksal wieder Mit Menschen kehre.

[9] Der schwarze Punkt des Augenapfels, Des Lichtes Ausfluß, Ist nur des Licht, das wiederstrahlet Von deinem Maale.

[10] Wie soll ich wohl vor meinem Herren Mein Leiden klagen! Wo fang' ich an bei meinen Bitten? Bei deinen Härten?

[11] Hafis, der Närrischen sind Viele In diesen Banden, Laß dir nichts Wildes träumen, Das dir nicht ziemet.

آن که می‌زیبد اگر جان جهانش خوانی

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

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 .

From the labour of head - revolvingness ,when is freedom his

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 .

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.

German Translation

[1] صبا وقت سحر بویی ز زلف یار می‌آورد
دل شوریده ما را به بو در کار می‌آورد

[2] من آن شکل صنوبر را ز باغ دیده برکندم
که هر گل کز غمش بشکفت محنت بار می‌آورد

[3] فروغ ماه می‌دیدم ز بام قصر او روشن
که رو از شرم آن خورشید در دیوار می‌آورد

[4] ز بیم غارت عشقش دل پرخون رها کردم
ولی می‌ریخت خون و ره بدان هنجار می‌آورد

[5] به قول مطرب و ساقی برون رفتم گه و بی‌گه
کز آن راه گران قاصد خبر دشوار می‌آورد

[6] سراسر بخشش جانان طریق لطف و احسان بود
اگر تسبیح می‌فرمود اگر زنار می‌آورد

[7] عفاالله چین ابرویش اگر چه ناتوانم کرد
به عشوه هم پیامی بر سر بیمار می‌آورد

[8] عجب می‌داشتم دیشب ز حافظ جام و پیمانه
ولی منعش نمی‌کردم که صوفی وار می‌آورد

[1] At morning time ,a perfume from the true Beloved's tress ,the breeze the fragrant murshid whereby the traveller's heart blossometh brought
Into action ,our heart distraught for Thee brought .

[2] When my heart heeded not the murshid ,and turned to sensuality from the garden of the chest ,I up - plucked that pine - branch the heart intent on evil
From grief for which ,every rose that blossomed ,only the labour - load of the thorn brought .

[3] From the roof of his palace ,I beheld the moon's splendour the Beloved's face
From shame of which ,its face to the wall ,the resplendent sun brought .

[4] From fear of the plunder of His eye ,I released my bloody sinful heart
But at the time of turning back it my heart ,weeping blood spilled blood on the path .In this way ,it the heart it His eye brought .

[5] In season and out of season ,forth to the voice of the minstrel and of the Saki I went
For ,with difficulty ,on account of the heavy road ,news ,the messenger brought .

[6] The way of graciousness and of kindness ,altogether is the gift of the true Beloved
Whether the Muslim rosary He ordered or ,the Christian cord ,He brought .

[7] May God pardon the frown of his eye - brow ,although powerless it made me
Perchance in grace ,to me sick ,a message from the true Beloved it brought .

[8] Last night ,I wondered at Hafiz's cup and goblet :
But ,I argued not .For them ,like a Sufi ,in exceeding delight and desire he brought .

[9] From envy of the perfume of the thread of the true Beloved's hair ,to the wind of the air ,gave
The breeze every musky pod that ,from Tatari ,He the true Beloved brought .

[1] Es hat mir einen Duft der Ost vom Freund gebracht, Und hat mein irres Herz dadurch zu sich gebracht,

[2] Ich riß aus meinem Busen das Pistazienreis, Denn jede Blüthe hat mir Schmerzen nur gebracht.

[3] Ich sah auf ihrem Dach den hellen Glanz des Monds, Wie ihrer Sonne Schein aus Schaam ganz aufgebracht;

[4] Mein Herz ward von der Frucht des Lieberaub's befreyt, Doch da es blutete, ward es in Hut gebracht.

[5] Auf's Wort des Schenken geh' ich manchesmal hinaus, Denn schwer wird Nachricht uns von jenem Weg gebracht.

[6] Was der Geliebte schenkt, ist nichts als milde Huld, Es sey durch Rosenkranz, durch Gürtel zugebracht.

[7] Verzeih's den Brauen Gott! sie haben mich entseelt, Allein sie haben auch Liebkosung mir gebracht. O schöne Zeit, da durch das Lockenhaar des Freund's Mein Herz den Feind selbst zum Geständniße gebracht. Der Ost voll Eifersucht auf seines Haares Duft Streut Moschus aus, den er von Tartarn hergebracht.

[8] Das Glas gab gestern mir gar wunderlich Hafis, Ich zankte nicht, er hat es als Sofi gebracht.

German Translation

[1] بوی خوش تو هر که ز باد صبا شنید
از یار آشنا سخن آشنا شنید

[2] ای شاه حسن چشم به حال گدا فکن
کاین گوش بس حکایت شاه و گدا شنید

[3] خوش می‌کنم به باده مشکین مشام جان
کز دلق پوش صومعه بوی ریا شنید

[4] سر خدا که عارف سالک به کس نگفت
در حیرتم که باده فروش از کجا شنید

[5] یا رب کجاست محرم رازی که یک زمان
دل شرح آن دهد که چه گفت و چه‌ها شنید

[6] اینش سزا نبود دل حق گزار من
کز غمگسار خود سخن ناسزا شنید

[7] محروم اگر شدم ز سر کوی او چه شد
از گلشن زمانه که بوی وفا شنید

[8] ساقی بیا که عشق ندا می‌کند بلند
کان کس که گفت قصه ما هم ز ما شنید

[9] ما باده زیر خرقه نه امروز می‌خوریم
صد بار پیر میکده این ماجرا شنید

[10] ما می به بانگ چنگ نه امروز می‌کشیم
بس دور شد که گنبد چرخ این صدا شنید

[11] پند حکیم محض صواب است و عین خیر
فرخنده آن کسی که به سمع رضا شنید

[12] حافظ وظیفه تو دعا گفتن است و بس
دربند آن مباش که نشنید یا شنید

[1] From the morning - breeze ,Thy pleasant perfume ,who perceived
From the dear friend the breeze the true Beloved's speech who heard .

[2] O King of beauty the true Beloved cast Thy eye of mercy on the state of the beggar Thy lover
For ,many a tale of the King beggar - cherishing and of the beggar ,this ear heard .

[3] With musky fragrant wine ,happy I make the perfume - place the brain of my soul ,
For ,from the ragged garment - wearer the Sufi - Darvlsh of the cloister ,the perfume of hypocrisy ,it my soul perceived .

[4] The mystery of God that the Arif ,the holy traveller ,uttered to none ,
In astonishment I am ,whence the wine - seller heard .

[5] O Lord where is that mystery - confidant ,to whom ,a moment ,
My heart may explain what of love for God it said and what of reproach from the world it heard .

[6] My heart ,thank - offering ,for it ,this was not fit ,
That ,from its own grief - consoler ,unfit words it heard .

[7] If ,from the head of His street ,I am excluded ,what matter
From the rose - bed of Time ,the perfume of fidelity ,who perceived

[8] Saki come .For love maketh high clamour ,
Saying That one who uttered our tale ,even from us heard .

[9] Not to - day ,do we drink wine beneath the religious garment
This tale ,a hundred times ,the Pir of the wine - house heard .

[10] Not to - day ,do we drink wine to the harp's sound
Many a revolution passed since this sound the sphere's dome heard .

[11] The essence of good and essentially good ,is the physician's counsel
Happy that one's fortune ,who ,with the ear of resignation ,heard .

[12] Hafiz thy office is prayer - uttering to the true Beloved and that only
Be not in the entanglement of this whether He heard not ,or heard .

[1] Wer deinen Hauch im Wehn Des Ostwinds hört, Hat vom vertrauten Freund Ein Wort gehört.

[2] Schau auf den Bettler her, O Schönheits Schah! Ich hab' der Sagen viel Hievon gehört.

[3] Ich würze meinen Geist Mit Moschuswein, Vom Ordenskleid hab' ich Nie Trug gehört.

[4] Sieh die Geheimniße Des Frommen, ey! Wie hat denselben denn Der Wirth gehört!

[5] O Herr! wo ist ein Freund, Daß ihm mein Herz Vertrau', was es geseh'n, Was es gehört.

[6] Für's dankerfüllte Herz Geziemt sich's nicht, Daß es von seinem Freund Was Hartes hört.

[7] Kehr' ich beraubt zurück, Was ist es denn! Wer hat im Rosenbeet Von Treu' gehört!

[9] Wir trinken nicht erst heut Im Ordenskleid, Der Wirth hat hundertmal Hievon gehört.

[10] Wir trinken nicht erst heut Zum Lautenton, Die Welt hat lange schon Dies angehört.

[11] Des Weisen Rath ist gut, Und reines Gold; Wohl dem, der folgsam ihn Und wirklich hört. Mein Herz spricht mit dem West Des Abends stets; Des Morgens hört der Ost Mein Herzgespräch.

[12] Zu fleh'n ist eine Pflicht, Hafis sorg' nicht, Darum ob sie's gehört, Ob nicht gehört.
