German Translation

[1] تویی که بر سر خوبان کشوری چون تاج
سزد اگر همه دلبران دهندت باج

[2] دو چشم شوخ تو برهم زده خطا و حبش
به چین زلف تو ماچین و هند داده خراج

[3] بیاض روی تو روشن چو عارض رخ روز
سواد زلف سیاه تو هست ظلمت داج

[4] دهان شهد تو داده رواج آب خضر
لب چو قند تو برد از نبات مصر رواج

[5] از این مرض به حقیقت شفا نخواهم یافت
که از تو درد دل ای جان نمی‌رسد به علاج

[6] چرا همی‌شکنی جان من ز سنگ دلی
دل ضعیف که باشد به نازکی چو زجاج

[7] لب تو خضر و دهان تو آب حیوان است
قد تو سرو و میان موی و بر به هیئت عاج

[8] فتاد در دل حافظ هوای چون تو شهی
کمینه ذره خاک در تو بودی کاج

[1] From all the heart - ravishers ,it is fit that thou 0 Muhammad shouldest take tribute
For ,over all lovely ones prophets thou ,crown - like ,art chief .

[2] Thy two intoxicated eyes ,the tumult of all Turkistan
To the curl of thy tress ,Ma chin and Chin have given tribute .

[3] The whiteness of mercy of thy face appeared more luminous than the face of day
The darkness of vengeance of thy tress ,more dark than the darkness of dark night .

[4] To the water of life of Khizr ,thy small mouth hath given permanency
Over the sugar of Egypt ,thy candy - like lip hath taken currency .

[5] In truth ,from this disease of love for ,and of separation from ,thee where shall I find recovery
If ,from thee ,my heart - pain reacheth no remedy .

[6] O my soul from stone - heartedness ,why shatterest thou
The feeble heart which ,through feebleness ,is fragile like crystal .

[7] Thy hair is ever fresh like Khizr and thy mouth ,the water of life
Thy stature ,the cypress thy waist ,a hair and thy chest ,like lustrous ivory .

[8] In the head of Hafiz ,the desire of a sovereign like thee hath fallen
Would to Heaven he Hafiz were the humble slave of the dust of thy door

[1] Wie knüpfst die Mitte du, mit einem einz'gen Haar.Wie lösest du so schön, den Leib aus Elfenbein!

[2] Es ziemt, daß du von allen Schönen Steuer nimmst,Indem du in der Schönen Laube König bist.

[3] Durch deine Augen ist ganz Turkistan empört,Und Sin und Hind bringt deinen krausen Locken Zoll.

[4] Die Weisse des Gesichts ist heller als der Tag,Die Schwärze deines Haars ist finstrer als die Nacht.

[5] Dein enger Mund verleiht, dem Quelle Chisers Dauer.Aegyptens Zuckerrohr, versteckt sich vor den Lippen.

[6] Wie soll ich denn von dieser Krankheit Heilung finden,Wenn in mein Herz von dir, kein Heilungsmittel kömmt.

[7] Warum zerschlägst du meine Seele, steinern Herz!Aus Zartheit bricht mein schwaches Herz wie Glas.

[8] Dein Flaum ist Chiser, und dein Mund des Lebensquell,Der Wuchs ein Baum, die Mitt' ein Haar, der Busen Wachs.

German Translation

[1] الا ای طوطی گویای اسرار
مبادا خالیت شکر ز منقار

[2] سرت سبز و دلت خوش باد جاوید
که خوش نقشی نمودی از خط یار

[3] سخن سربسته گفتی با حریفان
خدا را زین معما پرده بردار

[4] به روی ما زن از ساغر گلابی
که خواب آلوده‌ایم ای بخت بیدار

[5] چه ره بود این که زد در پرده مطرب
که می‌رقصند با هم مست و هشیار

[6] از آن افیون که ساقی در می‌افکند
حریفان را نه سر ماند نه دستار

[7] سکندر را نمی‌بخشند آبی
به زور و زر میسر نیست این کار

[8] بیا و حال اهل درد بشنو
به لفظ اندک و معنی بسیار

[9] بت چینی عدوی دین و دل‌هاست
خداوندا دل و دینم نگه دار

[10] به مستوران مگو اسرار مستی
حدیث جان مگو با نقش دیوار

[11] به یمن دولت منصور شاهی
علم شد حافظ اندر نظم اشعار

[12] خداوندی به جای بندگان کرد
خداوندا ز آفاتش نگه دار

[1] Ho O parrot murshid thou that art the utterer of the mysteries of God
Void of sugar of the mysteries of God thy beak mouth be not .

[2] Ever be thy head fresh ,and thy heart happy
For of the line of mysteries of the true Beloved ,a happy picture ,thou displayedest .

[3] With the rivals the Arifs thou utteredest speech head - closed veiled
For God's sake ,uplift the veil of the enigma of the head - closed speech

[4] O Saki On our faces ,a cup of divine truths of rose - water dash
For ,we are sleep - stained ,and wakeful of fortune .

[5] In musical note ,what path is this that the minstrel struck ,
That ,together ,the insensible and the sensible dance

[6] From this opium mystery that the Saki the murshid casteth into wine
To the rivals the Arifs remaineth neither head nor turban so intoxicated on hearing it are they

[7] To the great Sikandar ,they give not that water - of - life
Attainable neither by force nor by gold without God's grace is this matter .

[8] Come and hear the state of the people of pain
In word ,little in meaning ,much .

[9] The enemy of our religion ,became the idol of Chin
O Lord my heart and faith ,keep .

[10] To those veiled the illusory beloved ones utter not the mysteries of intoxication truths
From the lifeless ,senseless wall - picture ,ask not the tale of life .

[11] In the fortune of the standard of Mansur Shah ,
In the ranks of verse ,Hafiz the standard became .

[12] Towards us slaves ,he our praised one did the work of a Lord
O Lord him preserve from calamity .

[1] Immer sey der Verstand die baare Münze des Lebens,Gilt er doch nichts beim Golde der Liebe.

[2] Ha! o Papagey, der von der Liebe Geheimnissen schwätzet,Nie fehl's deinem Schnabel an Zucker!

[3] Immer grüne dein Haupt, und immer sey fröhlichen Herzens,Bist mir ein Bild von den Flaumen des Freundes.

[4] Ein verborgenes Wort hast du zu den Freunden gesprochen,Gott! heb' auf vom Räthsel den Schleier!

[5] Günstiges Glück! bespreng' mich mit Rosenwasser vom Becher,Denn mein Auge ist beflecket vom Schlafe.

[6] Welchen Ton hat der Sänger zu seiner Weise gewählet,Daß die Trunknen und Nüchternen tanzen!

[7] Siehe die Wirkung des Moschus, den der Schenk' in den Wein hat geworfen,Kopf und Dulbend geh'n beide verlohren.

[8] Alexandern ward nicht verlieh'n das Wasser des Lebens,Gold und Gewalt erzwingen nicht solches.

[9] Komm' und höre mir an der Betrübten traurige Lage,Worte sind wenig, und viel ist der Inhalt.

[10] Sina's Götzenbilder, sie sind die Feinde des Glaubens,Herr! bewahre mein Herz und den Glauben.

[11] Nüchtern sag' und erzähle du nie das Geheimniß des Rausches,Seelenkunde frag' nicht von den Gemälden.

[12] In den Reichen der Dichtkunst weht Hafis als die FahneDurch des Schahes schützende Gnade.

German Translation

[1] نصیحتی کنمت بشنو و بهانه مگیر
هر آن چه ناصح مشفق بگویدت بپذیر

[2] ز وصل روی جوانان تمتعی بردار
که در کمینگه عمر است مکر عالم پیر

[3] نعیم هر دو جهان پیش عاشقان بجوی
که این متاع قلیل است و آن عطای کثیر

[4] معاشری خوش و رودی بساز می‌خواهم
که درد خویش بگویم به ناله بم و زیر

[5] بر آن سرم که ننوشم می و گنه نکنم
اگر موافق تدبیر من شود تقدیر

[6] چو قسمت ازلی بی حضور ما کردند
گر اندکی نه به وفق رضاست خرده مگیر

[7] چو لاله در قدحم ریز ساقیا می و مشک
که نقش خال نگارم نمی‌رود ز ضمیر

[8] بیار ساغر در خوشاب ای ساقی
حسود گو کرم آصفی ببین و بمیر

[9] به عزم توبه نهادم قدح ز کف صد بار
ولی کرشمه ساقی نمی‌کند تقصیر

[10] می دوساله و محبوب چارده ساله
همین بس است مرا صحبت صغیر و کبیر

[11] دل رمیده ما را که پیش می‌گیرد
خبر دهید به مجنون خسته از زنجیر

[12] حدیث توبه در این بزمگه مگو حافظ
که ساقیان کمان ابرویت زنند به تیر

[1] A piece of advice ,I make thee listen make no excuse
Whatever the kind admonisher saith to thee ,accept .

[2] With those of youthful face ,the enjoyment of union take up
For ,in ambush of life ,is the deceit of the old world .

[3] Before lovers of God the affluence of both worlds is as a barley - corn
For ,that world is of little merchandise and this world of little value .

[4] A pleasant companion ,I desire ; and some music with an instrument
That ,to the wail of bass and of treble ,I may utter my pain .

[5] On that ,I am intent that I drink no wine ,and commit no sin ,
If fate be concordant with my desire .If not ,I am helpless

[6] When ,without my presence ,they Fate and Destiny made God's decree of eternity without beginning ,
If a little ,not in accordance with fate ,be from me carp not .

[7] O Saki into my cup ,pour pure wine like the ruddy tulip ,
That ,from my mind ,depart not the picture of the idol's mole .

[8] The ruby cup of bounty ,bring ; and the pearl of beautiful water lustrous verse
Tell the envious one The liberality of an Asaf ,behold and die

[9] A hundred times ,with the resolve of repentance ,out of my hand the goblet ,I put :
But ,desisting from wine ,the Saki's glance maketh not .

[10] Wine two years old the Kuran and the beloved fourteen years old
For me ,this indeed is enough ,the society of the small the two years and of the great the fourteen years

[11] Our affrighted heart ,who hindereth
To Majnun ,escaped from chains ,give ye news .

[12] Hafiz in this banquet - place ,utter not the tale of repentance as to wine
For ,thee ,with the arrow ,the Sakis of bow eye - brow will strike .

[13] For the utterance of Khaju and the verse of Salman what room
For ,better than the beauteous verse of Zahir is the verse of Hafiz .

[1] Sagt ich nicht o Herz! vor den Locken hüt' dich,Denn es werden Winde drinnen gefesselt.

[2] Einen Rath will ich dir ertheilen, hör' michKeine Ausflucht, was dir der Freund sagt, thue.

[3] Mache zum Gewinn den Genuß der Schönen;Denn das Schicksal lauert im Hinterhalte.

[4] Erd' und Himmel gilt bei Verliebten wenig;Denn der Preis ist groß und die Waare winzig.

[5] Einen Trauten wünsch' ich und eine Flöte,Daß ich beiden meine Gefühle klage.

[6] Nimmer Wein zu trinken entschlossen bin ich,Wenn nur auch das Loos den Entschluß begünstigt

[7] Da das Schicksal uns nicht um Rath gefragt hat,Will ich, wenn es mir nicht behagt, nicht schmälen.

[8] Gieß' mir Moschuswein in den Becher Schenke!Daß aus meinem Innern dein Maal nicht schwinde.

[9] Bring' des Wein's Rubin, des Sorbets Perlen,Sag' zum Neid: betrachte die Großmuth, sterbe!

[10] Reuig setzt ich oft den Becher nieder;Doch der Schenke hört nicht auf zu schmeicheln.

[11] Wein von zwey und Mädchen von vierzehn JahrenSind mein Umgang, Alte und Junge sprech' ich.

[12] Wer vermag zu halten mein Herz! nun so schreyt denn:Aufgeschaut! ein Rasender ist entlaufen. Wer vergleicht meinen Gedichten Selman'sVerse? Sie besingen Soheir's Lieder.

German Translation

[1] دلم رمیده شد و غافلم من درویش
که آن شکاری سرگشته را چه آمد پیش

[2] چو بید بر سر ایمان خویش می‌لرزم
که دل به دست کمان ابروییست کافرکیش

[3] خیال حوصله بحر می‌پزد هیهات
چه‌هاست در سر این قطره محال اندیش

[4] بنازم آن مژه شوخ عافیت کش را
که موج می‌زندش آب نوش بر سر نیش

[5] ز آستین طبیبان هزار خون بچکد
گرم به تجربه دستی نهند بر دل ریش

[6] به کوی میکده گریان و سرفکنده روم
چرا که شرم همی‌آیدم ز حاصل خویش

[7] نه عمر خضر بماند نه ملک اسکندر
نزاع بر سر دنیی دون مکن درویش

[8] بدان کمر نرسد دست هر گدا حافظ
خزانه‌ای به کف آور ز گنج قارون بیش

[1] Affrighted ,became my heart ; and careless ,I ,the darvish ,am ,
As to what hath happened ,to that great bewildered prey my heart

[2] For the head of my own faith ,I trembled like the willow
For ,in the hand of one of bow eye - brow ,Kafir in religion ,is my heart .

[3] From much weeping the fancy of the spirit of the mighty sea ,I a mere drop mature .Alas
In the head of this drop ,absurd of thought HSfiz are what crude fancies

[4] Of that eye - lash ,bold ,rest - slayer ,I boast
On the tip of whose point ,the wave of the sweet water of life dasheth .

[5] From the sleeve of a thousand physicians ,trickleth blood ,
If ,for examination ,a hand on my wounded heart ,drowned in blood ,head to foot they place .

[6] In the street of the wine - house the murshid's threshold weeping and head cast down ,I go
Because ,of my empty ,vain produce ,ever cometh shame to me .

[7] Remaineth neither the prolonged age of Khjzr ,nor the great dominion of Sikandar
Darvish upon the head of the mean world ,strife make not .

[8] Hafiz I to that girdle of the true Beloved reacheth not every beggar's hand
The treasury greater than Karun's treasure ,to hand bring .

[1] O Sklav! beklage dichNicht über deine Feinde,Der Liebe nicht zu sprechen ziemtZu wenig und zu viel.

[2] Mein Herz ist aufgeschreckt,Ich sorg' nicht als Derwisch,Was vor der Jagd des störrigenVorhergegangen sey.

[3] Wie Weiden zittre ichAus Furcht vor meinem Glauben,Es hält mein Herz ein BogenschützVon den Ungläubigen.

[4] Ich trage mich herumMit der Idee des MeeresEin Tropfen ich! was denk' ich Tropf',Was für Unmöglichkeit!

[5] Ich will ein Opfer seynDem Augenhaar des Mörders,Ich seh', auf seinen Spitzen wogtDes Lebenswassers Fluth.

[6] Vom Arztesärmel strömtDas Blut aus tausend Strömen,Wenn er die Hand auf's wunde HerzEs zu befühlen leget.

[7] Ich geh' mit ThränenfluthUnd mit gesenktem HaupteZur Schenke, denn ich schäme michVor meinen Handlungen.

[8] Das Leben Chisers undDie Herrschaft AlexandersSind längst verschwunden, o DerwischZank' nicht um diese Welt!

[1] در وفای عشق تو مشهور خوبانم چو شمع
شب نشین کوی سربازان و رندانم چو شمع

[2] روز و شب خوابم نمی‌آید به چشم غم پرست
بس که در بیماری هجر تو گریانم چو شمع

[3] رشته صبرم به مقراض غمت ببریده شد
همچنان در آتش مهر تو سوزانم چو شمع

[4] گر کمیت اشک گلگونم نبودی گرم رو
کی شدی روشن به گیتی راز پنهانم چو شمع

[5] در میان آب و آتش همچنان سرگرم توست
این دل زار نزار اشک بارانم چو شمع

[6] در شب هجران مرا پروانه وصلی فرست
ور نه از دردت جهانی را بسوزانم چو شمع

[7] بی جمال عالم آرای تو روزم چون شب است
با کمال عشق تو در عین نقصانم چو شمع

[8] کوه صبرم نرم شد چون موم در دست غمت
تا در آب و آتش عشقت گدازانم چو شمع

[9] همچو صبحم یک نفس باقیست با دیدار تو
چهره بنما دلبرا تا جان برافشانم چو شمع

[10] سرفرازم کن شبی از وصل خود ای نازنین
تا منور گردد از دیدارت ایوانم چو شمع

[11] آتش مهر تو را حافظ عجب در سر گرفت
آتش دل کی به آب دیده بنشانم چو شمع

[1] In constancy of love for Thee ,renowned of the lovely ones I am like the candle
Night - sitter in the street of head life - players and of profligates ,I am like the candle .

[2] Day and night ,to my eye ,grief - worshipping ,sleep cometh not
Since ,in sickness of separation from Thee ,weeping ,I am like the candle .

[3] With the shears of grief for Thee ,severed became the thread of my patience
So ,in fire's separation from Thee ,laughing consuming I am like the candle .

[4] If hot moving impetuous had not been the steed of my rose - hued bloody tear ,
In the world ,when would my hidden mystery love for Thee have become luminous like the candle .

[5] In the midst of water and of fire ,even so ardent of desire for Thee is
This my heart ,poor ,feeble ,tear - raining guttering like the candle .

[6] In separation's night ,me a letter of union ,send
If not ,in grief for Thee ,a great world I will cause to consume - like the candle .

[7] Night is my day without Thy beauty world - adorning
With the perfection of love for Thee ,in the very essence of loss ,consuming I am ,like the candle .

[8] From the power of grief for Thee ,soft like wax became the mountain of my patience ,
Since ,in the water and the fire of love for Thee ,melting I am like the candle .

[9] Like the morning ,without a sight of Thee ,is left only a breath of life
O heart - ravisher Thy face ,display so that ,on Thee ,my life I may scatter in love's consuming like the candle -

[10] O neck - extender in grandeur head - exalting make me ,one night ,by union with Thee
That ,by the sight of Thee ,luminous may become my hall like the candle

[11] Wonderful in his head ,Hafiz caught love's fire for Thee
With the water tear of the eye ,how may 1 quench the heart's fire like the candle .

[1] Durch Treue bin ich berühmt bei Schönen wie die Kerze,Ich sitze bei der Nacht mit Trunknen, wie die Kerze.

[2] Bei Nacht und Tage kommt kein Schlaf in meine Augen,Ich weine, und bin krank durch Trennung, wie die Kerze.

[3] Den Faden der Geduld zerschnitt die Scheer des Grames,Ich lach' in der Gluth der Liebe, gleich der Kerze.

[4] Wenn blut'ge Thränen nicht dem Auge heiß entströmten,So wär' der Welt nicht kund mein Innres wie die Kerze.

[5] Mein weinend Herz, o schau' es zwischen Gluth und Wasser,Beständig klaget es, es jammert wie die Kerze.

[6] Den Schmetterling der Lust send' in die Nacht der Trennung,Sonst werde ich die Welt verbrennen wie die Kerze.

[7] Mein Tag ist finster ohne deine Weltenschönheit,Doch unvollkommen ist die Liebe wie die Kerze.

[8] Der Felsen der Geduld zerschmilzt wie Wachs vor Schmerzen,Seit deine Liebe mich zerschmelzet wie die Kerze.

[11] Ergriffen hat Hafisen deiner Liebe Flamme,Wann löschet Wasser diesen Brand aus wie die Kerze.

German Translation

[1] چل سال بیش رفت که من لاف می‌زنم
کز چاکران پیر مغان کمترین منم

[2] هرگز به یمن عاطفت پیر می فروش
ساغر تهی نشد ز می صاف روشنم

[3] از جاه عشق و دولت رندان پاکباز
پیوسته صدر مصطبه‌ها بود مسکنم

[4] در شان من به دردکشی ظن بد مبر
کآلوده گشت جامه ولی پاکدامنم

[5] شهباز دست پادشهم این چه حالت است
کز یاد برده‌اند هوای نشیمنم

[6] حیف است بلبلی چو من اکنون در این قفس
با این لسان عذب که خامش چو سوسنم

[7] آب و هوای فارس عجب سفله پرور است
کو همرهی که خیمه از این خاک برکنم

[8] حافظ به زیر خرقه قدح تا به کی کشی
در بزم خواجه پرده ز کارت برافکنم

[9] تورانشه خجسته که در من یزید فضل
شد منت مواهب او طوق گردنم

[1] Passed have forty years and more since I expressed this boast :
Of the servants of the Pir of the Magians ,the least am I .

[2] Ever by the felicity of the favour of the Pir ,the wine - seller ,
Empty of wine ,pure and luminous ,became not the cup of mine .

[3] In the majesty of love ,and in the fortune of profligates ,pure - players ,
Ever the chief seat of the wine - houses was the abode' of mine .

[4] For dreg - drinking ,bear not an ill opinion of me Hafiz
For ,with wine the khirka is stained but pure of skirt am I .

[5] The mighty falcon of the King's hand am I .O Lord in what way ,
From my recollection ,have they taken the desire of the dwelling of mine

[6] A great bulbul like me ,in such a sward ,pity 'tis ,
That ,with this sweet tongue verse silent like the ten - tongued lily am I .

[7] A wonderful cherisher of the mean is the water and the air of Persia :
A fellow way - farer ,where ,that ,from this land ,my tent ,up - pluck I may

[8] Haflz 1 beneath the guise of the khirka ,how long drinketh thou the goblet
God willing at the Khwaja's banquet ,the veil from thy work of drinking upcast will I .

[9] The auspicious Turan King ,who ,towards me ,increased his favour
The favour of his gifts became the collar of the neck .of mine .

[1] Vierzig Jahr, und drüber prahl' ich, Daß von jenes alten Wirthes Dienern, Ich der Kleinste bin!

[2] Durch des alten Weinverkäufers Gnade, Ist mein reines Glas von hellem Weine Nie geworden leer.

[3] Auf dem Pfad der Liebe und der Trunknen Reiner Hand, saß ich Armer immer Auf dem ersten Platz.

[4] Hege nicht von mir die falsche Meinung, Daß ich trinke; Fleckig ist die Kutte, Rein der Saum.

[5] Bin ich nicht des Kaisers Falke? Sage Weßhalb man die Liebe meines Nestes, Forttrug aus dem Sinn.

[6] Weh! daß Nachtigallen süßer Zunge, Daß ich wie die Lilie still und schweigend, Sitzen auf der Flur.

[7] Wunderbar! es nähret Persiens Sonne, Nur Nichtswürd'ge, rufe dem Gefährten, Weg! von hier das Zelt!

[8] Du versteck' Hafis! im Kleide Länger nicht das Glas, ich will's entdecken, In dem Herrenkreis.

[9] Herr ist mir Turanschah, Er der Gnäd'ge, Dank für seine Huld und seine Gnaden, Sind des Nackens Schmuck.

غم هجران تو را چاره ز جایی بکنیم

طلب از سایه میمون همایی بکنیم

[1] One night ,our hand we shall uplift and a prayer we shall make .
For the grief of separation from Thee ,a remedy from some place we shall make .

[2] Went from the hand ,the sick heart .O friends a little help ,
So that to its head ,the physician we may bring and a little remedy we may make .

[3] He who ,without offence on my part grieved ; and ,me ,with the sword struck and departed
For God's sake ,him bring back ,that purity of heart reconciliation we may make .

[4] Withered ,became the root of my joy .The Path to the tavern is where
So that in that water and air ,springing and growing ,we may make .

[5] O heart aid from the heart of profligates seek if not ,
Difficult is the work .God forbid that a fault we should make .

[6] But a little work effecteth the shade of the bud of little resolution the imperfect murshid
Search for the auspicious shade of the Huma the murshid ,perfect and excel ,lent we shall make .

[7] From the note of melody went my heart .Hafiz ,sweet of tone ,is where
So that ,with his words and ghazals ,harmony and melody ,we may make .

[1] دیدم به خواب دوش که ماهی برآمدی
کز عکس روی او شب هجران سر آمدی

[2] تعبیر رفت یار سفرکرده می‌رسد
ای کاج هر چه زودتر از در درآمدی

[3] ذکرش به خیر ساقی فرخنده فال من
کز در مدام با قدح و ساغر آمدی

[4] خوش بودی ار به خواب بدیدی دیار خویش
تا یاد صحبتش سوی ما رهبر آمدی

[5] فیض ازل به زور و زر ار آمدی به دست
آب خضر نصیبه اسکندر آمدی

[6] آن عهد یاد باد که از بام و در مرا
هر دم پیام یار و خط دلبر آمدی

[7] کی یافتی رقیب تو چندین مجال ظلم
مظلومی ار شبی به در داور آمدی

[8] خامان ره نرفته چه دانند ذوق عشق
دریادلی بجوی دلیری سرآمدی

[9] آن کو تو را به سنگ دلی کرد رهنمون
ای کاشکی که پاش به سنگی برآمدی

[10] گر دیگری به شیوه حافظ زدی رقم
مقبول طبع شاه هنرپرور آمدی

[1] Last night ,in sleep ,I saw that forth ,a great moon had come ,
From the reflection of the face whereof ,to an end ,the night of separation had come .

[2] The explanation is what The much journeyed Friend the true Beloved arriveth
O would that by my door ,He ,splendour - giving and adorned ,had come

[3] My Saki ,auspicious of omen whose mention be for good
Ever ,by my door ,with the goblet and the cup ,he used to come .

[4] Happy ,had it been if ,in sleep ,his native land he had seen
So that the guide to us ,the recollection of its association would have come .

[5] If ,with force and gold ,to our hand ,the bounty of eternity without beginning union with the true Beloved had come ,
The water of life of Khizr .Sikandar's portion would have come .

[6] O true Beloved wherefore fleest Thou Be memory of that time ,when ,from roof and door ,to me ,
The message of the Beloved and the letter of the Heart - ravisher ,used to come .

[7] Such power of tyranny ,Thy watcher where would have obtained ,
If ,one night ,to the Ruler's door ,an oppressed one had come

[8] Love's desire ,how know the immature ones of the Path
One of ocean - heart generous seek and a bold one who is a chief .

[9] That one who ,thee ,road - guide to stone - heartedness ,made ,
O would that against a stone so that he might fall his foot^ had come .

[10] If ,in Hafiz's way ,another had written ,
Agreeably to the nature of the king ,skill - cherishing ,it would have come .

[1] Mein Mond war gestern in dem Traum Zu mir herabgekommen, Zu Ende war's mit seinem Schein Der Trennungsnacht gekommen.

[2] Wie sag' ich's, denn es kehrt mein Freund Zurück von seinen Reisen, O möchte er doch bald und bald Herein zur Thüre kommen.

[3] Der Namen meines Schenken sey In löblicher Erinn'rung, Weil er mit Flasche und mit Glas Stets ist zu mir gekommen.

[5] Wenn Gottes Huld ich mit Gewalt Mit Gold erworben habe, Dann wäre mir der Lebensquell Vielleicht auch zugekommen. Die Seele hätt' ich hingestreut Dem süßen Herzensschmeichler, Wär' er, wie ein verklärter Geist, Zu mir herab gekommen.

[6] O gern gedenke ich der Zeit, Wo mir von Dach und Thüren Von meinem Freunde bald ein Brief, Bald Kunde ist gekommen.

[7] Dem Nebenbuhler sag', wo fand'st Du solche Grausamkeiten, Was wirst du thun, wenn eines Nachts Zu dir die Kläger kommen?

[8] Wer nie den Weg der Liebe gieng Was weiß er von der Liebe? Drum suche einen Liebling, der Gewandt ist, zu bekommen.

[9] Wer dir mit Herzen hart wie Stein Die wahre Straße weiset, O möchte doch auf seinen Kopf Ein Stein von oben kommen!

[10] Wenn Andere Hafisens Bild Zu zeichnen sich bestreben, So wird es dann dem Schah gar schön, Und wohlgefällig kommen.

German Translation

[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] شراب و عیش نهان چیست کار بی‌بنیاد
زدیم بر صف رندان و هر چه بادا باد

[2] گره ز دل بگشا و از سپهر یاد مکن
که فکر هیچ مهندس چنین گره نگشاد

[3] ز انقلاب زمانه عجب مدار که چرخ
از این فسانه هزاران هزار دارد یاد

[4] قدح به شرط ادب گیر زان که ترکیبش
ز کاسه سر جمشید و بهمن است و قباد

[5] که آگه است که کاووس و کی کجا رفتند
که واقف است که چون رفت تخت جم بر باد

[6] ز حسرت لب شیرین هنوز می‌بینم
که لاله می‌دمد از خون دیده فرهاد

[7] مگر که لاله بدانست بی‌وفایی دهر
که تا بزاد و بشد جام می ز کف ننهاد

[8] بیا بیا که زمانی ز می خراب شویم
مگر رسیم به گنجی در این خراب آباد

[9] نمی‌دهند اجازت مرا به سیر و سفر
نسیم باد مصلا و آب رکن آباد

[10] قدح مگیر چو حافظ مگر به ناله چنگ
که بسته‌اند بر ابریشم طرب دل شاد

[1] Wine and hidden pleasure love what are they Baseless work .
On the ranks of our own profligates the murshids we dashed and joined them What is fit to be be

[2] Unloose the heart's knot of thought and of hesitation and think not of the sky
For such a knot ,the thought of no geometrician hath loosed .

[3] At Time's changes ,wonder not .For the sphere
Recollecteth many a thousand tales of sorcery of this kind

[4] With respect learning and knowledge take the goblet .For its composition
Is of the dust of the skull of Jamshid ,of Bahman ,and of Kubad .

[5] Where K'a ,us and Kay went ,who is informed
How Jamshid's throne went to the wind of destruction who is informed

[6] From passion for Shirin's lip ,yet I see
That ,from the blood of Farhad's eye ,the tulip blossometh .

[7] Perchance the tulip knew Time's unfaithfulness
For ,since she was born and become ,from out of her hand she hath not placed the cup of wine .

[8] Come come so that ,awhile ,with wine of love ruined effaced and non - existent we may become
Perchance by means of love to that great fortune union with the true Beloved we may ,in the stage of effacement in this ruined place the world ,the field of the first ,and the last ,world reach .

[9] For wandering and journeying ,me ,permission give not
The breeze of Musalla's dust ,and the water of Ruknabad .

[10] Like Hafiz ,take riot the cup save to the sonnd of the harp
For ,to the silk cord of joy ,they have bound the glad heart .

[11] If from the hand ,I put not down the cup ,carp not at me
For ,purer than this cup to me no companion hath appeared .

[1] Heimlich lieben und trinken, was ist's? ein lockeres Tagwerk. Ich mich zur Trunkenen schlag', sey es nun, was es auch sey.

[2] Löse den Knoten des Herzens, und sorge dich weiter um's Loos nicht, Kein Geometer hat noch diese Verwirrung gelößt.

[3] Ueber den Handel und Wechsel der Zeit sollst du dich nicht wundern, Aehnliche Zauberei'n haltet das Schicksal bereit.

[4] Halte bescheiden das Glas, es ist zusammengesetzet, Aus den Schädeln Dschemschids, Keikobads und Behmens,

[5] Wer lehrt uns, wohin Kaiwas und Nimrod gegangen? Wie der Thron Dschemschids endlich in Stücke zerfiel?

[6] Siehe Ferhad, wie sehnet er sich nach den Lippen Schirinen's Aus der Thränenfluth sproßen die Tulpen vor ihm.

[7] Siehe die Tulpe, sie kennt, wie treulos der Wechsel der Zeit ist, Denn sie gab das Glas niemals bisher aus der Hand.

[8] Komm, ich will vom Weine berauscht und wüst seyn ein wenig, Denn ich finde vielleicht Schätz' im verwüsteten Bau.

[9] Weder die Fluth Roknabads, noch der Hauch des Winds von Mosella, Geben mir Freiheit, von hier mich zu entfernen auf lang. Was mich traf von den Leiden der Liebe, das hat mich getroffen, Vor dem Bösen des Augs schütz' die Geliebte, o Herr!

[10] Nimm nicht das Glas wie Hafis, du nimm's bei dem Schalle der Laute, Freude des Lebens hängt seidenen Faden entlang.

German Translation

[1] آن که از سنبل او غالیه تابی دارد
باز با دلشدگان ناز و عتابی دارد

[2] از سر کشته خود می‌گذری همچون باد
چه توان کرد که عمر است و شتابی دارد

[3] ماه خورشید نمایش ز پس پرده زلف
آفتابیست که در پیش سحابی دارد

[4] چشم من کرد به هر گوشه روان سیل سرشک
تا سهی سرو تو را تازه‌تر آبی دارد

[5] غمزه شوخ تو خونم به خطا می‌ریزد
فرصتش باد که خوش فکر صوابی دارد

[6] آب حیوان اگر این است که دارد لب دوست
روشن است این که خضر بهره سرابی دارد

[7] چشم مخمور تو دارد ز دلم قصد جگر
ترک مست است مگر میل کبابی دارد

[8] جان بیمار مرا نیست ز تو روی سؤال
ای خوش آن خسته که از دوست جوابی دارد

[9] کی کند سوی دل خسته حافظ نظری
چشم مستش که به هر گوشه خرابی دارد

[1] That one ,from whose fragrant hyacinth lock ,a great torment of jealousy ambergris hath .
Again ,with those heart - gone lovers grace and reproach hath .

[2] By the head of his own slain one the lover He the Beloved passeth swiftly like the wind
What can one do For ,He is like swift life and swiftness of departing it life hath .

[3] From behind the screen of His tress ,the moon ,displaying the brilliancy of the sun ,
Is a great sun that ,in front ,a cloud hath .

[4] In every corner ,my eye made flowing a torrent of tears ,
So that ,with a great quantity of water ,freshness ,Thy straight cypress hath .

[5] In error ,Thy bold glance sheddeth my blood ;
Be its opportunity to do so for a very correct judgment it hath .

[6] If that be the water of life ,that the lip of my Beloved hath ,
Clear this is that only a share of the mirage not of the water of life Khizr hath .

[7] On account of my heart ,Thy intoxicated eye desireth my liver life
The Bold one is intoxicated .Perchance ,inclination for a piece of roast meat my liver He hath .

[8] The path of questioning Thee is not my sick soul's
Happy that shattered one the lover who ,an answer from the Beloved ,hath .

[9] Towards Hafiz's wounded heart ,when a glance casteth
Thy intoxicated eye ,that ,in every corner ,a ruined one a lover hath .

[1] Die Freundinn, deren Haarnarziß Der Schwärze Neid erreget hat, Sie, die mit den Verliebten noch Beständig was zu zanken hat.

[2] Mit Schnelle geht sie über das, Was sie zunächst betrift, hinaus. Was ist hiebei zu thun, sie lebt, Ihr wißt, das Leben Eile hat.

[3] Ihr strahlenvolles Mondgesicht Vom Schleier ihres Haars versteckt, Ist blos ein Sonnenangesicht, Das Wolken vorgezogen hat.

[4] Mein Auge hat in jeder Eck' Vergoßen einen Thränenstrom, Damit der hohen Cedern Wuchs Beständig frisches Wasser hat.

[5] Die Schelmenwimpern haben zwar Aus Irrthum ausgeschöpft mein Blut, Es mangle nie Gelegenheit hiezu, Weil man die beste Absicht hat.

[6] Wenn was von ihren Lippen quillt, Das wahre Lebenswasser ist, So ist ein Dunst nur jener Quell, Den Choser im Besitze hat.

[7] Dein trunknes Aug' verlanget sehr, Daß ihm mein Herz sey dargebracht, Natürlich! denn es ist ein Türk, Der nach dem Raub' Verlangen hat.

[8] Ach meine kranke Seele darf Sich nicht erkundigen um dich, Beglückt der Kranke, welcher stets Von seinem Freunde Kunde hat.

[9] Wenn würdigt sich dein trunkenes Aug', Herabzuschauen auf Hafis, Dein trunknes Aug', das überall Verzweiflung angerichtet hat.

[1] راهی بزن که آهی بر ساز آن توان زد
شعری بخوان که با او رطل گران توان زد

[2] بر آستان جانان گر سر توان نهادن
گلبانگ سربلندی بر آسمان توان زد

[3] قد خمیده ما سهلت نماید اما
بر چشم دشمنان تیر از این کمان توان زد

[4] در خانقه نگنجد اسرار عشقبازی
جام می مغانه هم با مغان توان زد

[5] درویش را نباشد برگ سرای سلطان
ماییم و کهنه دلقی کآتش در آن توان زد

[6] اهل نظر دو عالم در یک نظر ببازند
عشق است و داو اول بر نقد جان توان زد

[7] گر دولت وصالت خواهد دری گشودن
سرها بدین تخیل بر آستان توان زد

[8] عشق و شباب و رندی مجموعه مراد است
چون جمع شد معانی گوی بیان توان زد

[9] شد رهزن سلامت زلف تو وین عجب نیست
گر راه زن تو باشی صد کاروان توان زد

[10] حافظ به حق قرآن کز شید و زرق بازآی
باشد که گوی عیشی در این جهان توان زد

[1] O Minstrel play a note ,at the melody whereof ,a great sigh of rapture from the body one can cast
Utter a verse ,whereby the heavy cup of wine on the earth one can cast .

[2] If at the true Beloved's threshold ,one can lay one's head ,
To the sky ,the shout of loftiness ,one can cast .

[3] In Thy sight wretched appeareth our bent stature
To the eyes of Thy enemies ,the arrow from this our bow ,one can cast .

[4] Not contained in the cloisters are the mysteries of love - play and of intoxication
For only with magians ,the cup of magian wine one can cast ,

[5] The victuals of the king's palace are not for the Darvish
Old and ragged - clad are we upon whom fire one can cast .

[6] In exchange for one glance of the true Beloved's men of vision stake two worlds .
Tis love and ,on life's cast ,the first stake ,one can cast .

[7] If fortune should open the door of union with Him ,
In this vain fancy ,on the threshold ,many a head one can cast .

[8] The sum total of our desire is love ,youth ,and profligacy
When luminous the senses become like the luminous candle ,the ball of explanation ,one can cast .

[9] O true Beloved the highwayman of safety became Thy tress .This is no wonder .
If Thou be highwayman ,a hundred Karvans ,one can waylay .

[10] Hafiz by the truth of the Kuran I swear saying From fraud and deceit come out
It may be ,that if so thou do the ball of fortune with the sincere ones one can cast .

[11] If the Beloved's shadow fall on the stream of tears of my eye ,
On the dust of His thoroughfare ,running water one can cast .

[12] With reason ,understanding ,and knowledge ,one can give the gift of speech
When all is acquired ,the ball from the midst ,one can cast .

[1] Spiele eine Weise auf, Daß mit Seufzern wir dazu uns schlagen, Singe uns Gesänge vor, Daß wir Becher an einander schlagen.

[2] Ist es uns gegönnet, Unsern Kopf auf ihre Thür zu legen, O so mag wohl das Geschrey Unsrer Herrschaft an den Himmel schlagen.

[3] Meine krumm gebeugte Form Scheinet nur Verachtung zu verdienen, Doch ein Bogen ist sie nur Dessen Pfeile viele Feinde schlagen.

[4] In das Kloster taugen nicht Die Geheimniße des Liebesspieles, Denn der Schenkenknaben Glas Muß in Schenken man zusammenschlagen.

[6] Nur für einen einz'gen Blick Spielen beide Welten aus den Weisen, Auf den ersten Wurf muß man Seine Seele in die Schanze schlagen.

[7] Wenn der Freundinn Hochgenuß Eine einz'ge Thür eröffnen wollte, Würden dieser Hoffnung voll Töpfe auf der Schwelle sich zerschlagen.

[8] Jugend, Liebe, Trunkenheit Sind, was ich für mich beisammen wünsche, Sind die Wörter erst vereint, Dann ist's leicht, den Redeball zu schlagen.

[9] Deine Locken rauben unser Heil, Und hierüber ist sich nicht zu wundern, Denn ein Räuber, der dir gleicht, Kann wohl hundert Karawanen schlagen. Wenn auf meines Auges Quell Meines Freundes Schatten fallen sollte, Will ich für den Staub des Weg's, Wasser aus dem Stein des Herzens schlagen. Die Erkenntniß, der Verstand Und die Wissenschaft verschönt die Rede, Wenn dies alles sich vereint, Ist es leicht, den Worteball zu schlagen.

[10] Ich beschwöre dich, Hafis, Bei dem Koran! laß die Gleißnereyen, Denn nur die Aufrichtigen Können ihrer Wünsche Ballen schlagen.
