[1]  O breeze from such a one's street ,me ,a perfume bring .
Weeping and sad of grief ,I am me ,ease of soul ,bring :

[2]   That is From the dust of the Beloved's door which is indeed an elixir me ,a trace bring .
With my own heart ,in the ambush - place of vision ,is war

[3]   To me ,an arrow and a bow fashioned from His curved eye - brow and shooting glance bring .
In wandering ,and in separation ,and in grief of heart I have spent my life and now I am become old

[4]   So that from the present ,freedom ,I may obtain and ,for the past ,compensation me ,a cup of wine from the hand of a youthful one ,bring .
Two ,or three ,cups of this wine ,cause the deniers to taste

[6]   And ,if they take them not ,running with speed to me ,bring .
Saki the ease of to - day ,to to - morrow ,cast not ,

[7]   O breeze from such a one's street ,me ,a perfume ,bring .

[1]  Morgenwind, bringe vom Haus der Freundinn Düfte,Ich leid' an Krankheit, Seelenruhe bring' mir!

[2]  Meinem betrognen Sinn, den Stein der Weisen,Das ist, vom Staub der Thür' ein Zeichen bring mir!

[3]  Heiß ist der Kampf, den das Herz beginnt mit Blicken,Ihr Augenpaar statt Pfeil' und Bogen bring' mir.

[4]  Trennung und Schmerz, und die Fremd' macht mich zum Greisen,Ein Glas voll Wein aus Jünglingshänden bring' mir!

[5]  Schenke! die Wonne von heut laß nicht auf Morgen,Ein sicheres Geleit vom Schicksal bring' mir!

[7]  Weg war das Herz, als zu dem Ost Hafis gesprochen:O Wind vom Hauß der Freundinn, Düfte bring' mir!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[1]  When His the true Beloved's tress ,ambergris - diffusing ,the breeze fate and destiny dishevelled ,
Every shattered one ,with whom it the breeze joined ,his life fresh became .

[2]   A fellow - breather is where so that to him explanation of my grief ,I may give
From the time of separation from Him ,what torments my heart endureth .

[3]   Of the leaves of the rose the limbs of man time made a token of Thy face O true Beloved
But on looking - well through shame of Thee ,concealed it man in the rose - bud the closed tomb

[4]   Thou asleep and no limit appeared
Thanks be to God for this Path of love that hath no end

[5]   Perchance ,the beauty of the Ka'ba the true Beloved desireth excuse for want of union of the way - farer to the Ka'ba
For ,in its desert ,consumed the soul of those alive of heart lovers of God

[6]   To this shattered house of sorrow the lover's body who bringeth .
From the pit of the true Beloved's chin trace of the Yusuf of the heart

[7]   That tress - tip the world of evidence ,or this world I take and it to the khwaja's hand ,I give ,
That ,perchance ,my justice from its hands he may take and ,holding me excused ,may not drive me away

[8]   In the morning ,by the border of the sward ,from the bulbul I heard
His melody of Hafiz ,sweet of voice ,sweet of song .

[1]  Ach wer bringt in mein Haus die TrauerkundeVon dem Jusuf des Herzens aus dem Kinnbrunn!

[2]  Als der Ostwind aus ihren Locken hauchte,Lebten Kranke, die er umfloß, von Neuem.

[3]  Wo sind Freunde, daß ich den Gram erzähle,Den mein Herz von der Trennung erlitten.

[4]  Nachgeahmt hat Natur dein RosenantlitzUnd ihr Werk dann beschämt versteckt in Knospen.

[5]  Sorglos bist du, die Liebe hat kein Ende;Preis den Herrn, denn er ist auch unendlich!

[6]  Nachsicht Kaaba der Schönheit hast du nöthig,Denn die Wüste verbrennt beseelte Herzen.

[7]  Ihre Locken ergreif' ich, leg' sie in dieHand des Herren, damit er mich doch räche.

[1]  Lover of the face youthful ,joyous ,newly blossomed tender of age am I
And ,from God the joy of this grief of love with prayer sought have I .

[2]   Lover ,profligate ,glance - player ,I am and it openly ,I say
That thou mayest know that ,with so many excellences ,adorned am I .

[3]   Cometh shame to me ,of the wine - stained khirka ,
Whereon ,the patch with a hundred arts of hypocrisy ,decorated have I .

[4]   O candle for grief for Him ,happily consume .For ,behold ,also ,
In this very work ,loin - girt and upstanding am I

[5]   In astonishment like this ,went from my hand ,my work's gain
In grief ,increased have I that which ,in respect of heart and of soul decreased have I .

[6]   To the tavern ,I go like Hafiz clad in the garment of the kaba
It may be that into His bosom ,me ,that Heart - ravisher ,newly blossomed youthful may draw .

[1]  In einen frischen Jüngling bin ich verliebt,Ich habe von Gott mir diesen Gram erbeten;

[2]  Ich bin berauscht, verliebt, und sage es laut,Damit du hieraus erkennest meine Tugend.

[3]  Ich schäme mich des Weins beflecket mit Wein,Ich hab es mit Listen und mit Trug geflicket.

[4]  O Kerze! brenn' gelind vor Schmerzen bei ihm,Ich habe mich selber diesem Amt geeignet.

[5]  Ich staunte, und es floh von mir mein Gewinn,An Schmerzen gewann ich, was am Geist entflohen.

[6]  Daß mich vielleicht der frische Jüngling umarmt,Will ich Hafisen gleich die Schenken besuchen.

[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.

[1]  At the head of the wine - house ,the morning - lesson prayer aside we have laid
In the path of the true Beloved ,the in - gathering of prayer ,we have placed .

[2]   To the harvest of existence of ahundred learned wise ones Zahids settethfire
This mark of branding that ,from love on our distraught heart ,we have placed .

[3]   To us ,the treasure of love's grief ,the Sultan of eternity without beginning the true Beloved gave ,
Since ,towards this desolate stage this world our face we have placed .

[4]   After this to the love of idols ,the path into our heart ,we give not
On the door of this house the heart the seal of His lip we have placed .

[5]   More than this ,in the khirka the garment of austerity one cannot be a hypocrite
On account of this ,profligately ,its the khirka's foundation we have placed .

[6]   At last ,how goeth this battered bark the body
In desire of which peerless jewel ,our life we have placed .

[7]   Thanks to God that like us ,without heart and religion ,was
That one ,whom as wisdom - cherisher and learned ,we have placed .

[8]   With only an image of Thee ,contented we were like Hafiz ,
O Lord whether beggar or friendless one ,reliance on Thee we have placed .

[1]  Wir haben die Lehren der Zauberei In Schenken niedergeleget, Wir haben den guten Erfolg des Flehn's Vor's Liebchen niedergeleget.

[2]  Wohl hundert vernünftige Köpfe setzt Das Maal des Liebchens in Flammen. Ich habe in's närrische Herz das Maal Mit Liebe niedergeleget.

[3]  Es hat mir der ewige Herr den Schatz Des Grams der Liebe gegeben, Seitdem ich auf diesem zerstörten Platz Die Stirne niedergeleget.

[4]  Ich öffne der Liebe der Schönen nun In meinem Herzen den Weg nicht, Ich habe das Siegel von ihrem Mund Auf meine Thüre geleget.

[5]  Unmöglich erreicht die Verstellungskunst In Kutten höhere Stufen, Ich habe den Grundbau des Ordenskleids Wie Trunkne niedergeleget. Es reichte der fromme Geselle mir Die Hände hin, sie zu küssen, Ich habe den Kuß auf den Becherrand Des Schenken niedergeleget.

[6]  Wie könnte dies störrige Schiff zuletzt Wohl weiter segeln im Meere? Ich habe mein Herz aus Begierde nach Den Perlen niedergeleget.

[7]  Gedankt sey's dem Herren, ich bin ein Wirth, Beraubt des Herzens und Glaubens, Allein die Verständigen habe ich Jedoch zur Erde geleget.

[8]  Mit Schatten begnüge ich mich von dir, Hierin Hafisen vergleichbar, Ich habe die bettelnde Art vor dir, O Herr! längst niedergeleget.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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