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

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

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

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

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

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

[1] ای خونبهای نافه چین خاک راه تو
خورشید سایه پرور طرف کلاه تو

[2] نرگس کرشمه می‌برد از حد برون خرام
ای من فدای شیوه چشم سیاه تو

[3] خونم بخور که هیچ ملک با چنان جمال
از دل نیایدش که نویسد گناه تو

[4] آرام و خواب خلق جهان را سبب تویی
زان شد کنار دیده و دل تکیه گاه تو

[5] با هر ستاره‌ای سر و کار است هر شبم
از حسرت فروغ رخ همچو ماه تو

[6] یاران همنشین همه از هم جدا شدند
ماییم و آستانه دولت پناه تو

[7] حافظ طمع مبر ز عنایت که عاقبت
آتش زند به خرمن غم دود آه تو

[1] O thou that hast the blood - price of the precious musk - pod of Chin ,the dust of the path of thine
And the sun ,cherished in the shade of the border of the cap of thine

[3] My blood ,drink .For ,with beauty like this ,even any angel ,
From his heart ,it cometh not to record the sin of thine .

[4] O beloved the cause thou art of the people's ease and the world's slumber
On that account ,the border of my eye and of my heart became the repose - place of thine .

[6] From each other separated all are friends ,fellow - sitters
But together are I and the threshold of the empire - shelter of thine .

[7] Hafiz favour ,desire not .For ,in the end ,
To grief's harvest ,setteth fire the smoke of the sigh of thine .

[8] To - morrow ,the day of assembly the resurrection when is the presenting of the people ,
In the midst ,possibly ,may fall on me the kind glance of thine

[1] Das Blutgeld für den Moschus aus Sina Ist deiner Füße Staub. Die Sonne selbst sie wurde genähret Im Schatten deines Orts.

[2] O sieh! wie die Narzissen es treiben Mit ihren Schmeichelei'n; O zeig dich, und sie opfern die Seele Dem Nicken deines Augs.

[3] O trinke kühn mein Blut, denn es waget Zu deiner Schönheit sich Kein Engel in die Nähe, daß selber Aufmerke deine Schuld.

[4] Du bist die Ursach', daß hier auf Erden Die Menschen ruhig sind. Deßwegen ist mein Herz, und mein Auge Zum Wohnort dir geweiht.

[5] Ich habe jede Nacht mit den Sternen Mein eigenes Geschäft, Aus Sehnsucht nach dem strahlenden Glanze Von deinem Mondgesicht.

[6] Die Freunde, die vereiniget waren, Sind alle nun getrennt, Ich aber blieb als Schwelle der Zuflucht Vor deinem Glück zurück.

[7] Hafis! verzweifle nicht an der Gnade Von deinem Gott und Herrn, Es wird des Grames Scheune verbrennen Bei deinem Seufzerrauch.

[1] دامن کشان همی‌شد در شرب زرکشیده
صد ماه رو ز رشکش جیب قصب دریده

[2] از تاب آتش می بر گرد عارضش خوی
چون قطره‌های شبنم بر برگ گل چکیده

[3] لفظی فصیح شیرین قدی بلند چابک
رویی لطیف زیبا چشمی خوش کشیده

[4] یاقوت جان فزایش از آب لطف زاده
شمشاد خوش خرامش در ناز پروریده

[5] آن لعل دلکشش بین وان خنده دل آشوب
وان رفتن خوشش بین وان گام آرمیده

[6] آن آهوی سیه چشم از دام ما برون شد
یاران چه چاره سازم با این دل رمیده

[7] زنهار تا توانی اهل نظر میازار
دنیا وفا ندارد ای نور هر دو دیده

[8] تا کی کشم عتیبت از چشم دلفریبت
روزی کرشمه‌ای کن ای یار برگزیده

[9] گر خاطر شریفت رنجیده شد ز حافظ
بازآ که توبه کردیم از گفته و شنیده

[10] بس شکر بازگویم در بندگی خواجه
گر اوفتد به دستم آن میوه رسیده

[1] The skirt - trailer damsel kept moving in cloth ,gold - embroidered ,
In envy of her ,a hundred moon - of - face ,the collar of hempen cloth rent

[2] From the heat of the fire of wine ,round about her cheek ,sweat ,
Like drops of night - dew on the rose - leaf dropped .

[3] A pronunciation ,eloquent and sweet a stature ,tall and beautiful
A face ,gracious and heart - alluring ; the eye in a bow sweetly drawn .

[4] Her soul refreshing ruby lip of the water of grace born
The boxtree stature sweetly moving ,in daintiness cherished .

[5] That heart - alluring ruby lip of hers ,behold and that laughter full of ripple
That sweet moving of hers ,behold and that gait reposed .

[6] Forth from our snare ,that mistress ,dark of eye ,hath gone
Friends what remedy may I make with this heart affrighted

[7] Take care so far as thou canst ,injure not people of vision
No fidelity ,hath the world .O light of both eyes

[8] On account of that heart - fascinating eye ,reproach how long shall I endure
One day ,glance ,O friend well chosen

[9] If ,on account of Hafiz thy noble heart be grieved ,
Come back .For ,repentance ,we have made of that uttered and heard .

[10] On account of the Khwaja's service ,many the thanks that I shall utter ,
If to my hand fall that fruit matured .

[11] Every evil that ,in respect of us ,the enemy uttered thou heardest
O Lord the adversary's tongue be severed

[1] Er schleppte nach die Schleppe Vom goldgestickten Hemd, Und hundert Mondgesichter Zerrissen ihr Gewand.

[2] Der Schweiß trof auf die Wangen Von heißer Gluth des Weins, Wie auf die Rosenblätter Ein Tropfe frischen Thaus.

[3] Voll süßer schöner Worte, Hochstämmig und gewandt, Vom lieblichen Gesichte Und anmuthsvollem Blick.

[4] Es war aus Lebenswasser Geformt des Munds Rubin, Sein Buchs war aufgewachsen, Genährt mit Schmeichelei'n.

[5] O schaue die Rubinen Und dieses Lächelns Reiz, Den Gang voll Huld und Anmuth, Den wohlgemeßnen Schritt.

[6] Der Hirsch mit schwarzen Augen Entkam aus unsrem Netz, Was ist zu thun, o Freunde, Für ein zerschlagnes Herz!

[7] Hüt' dich, bist du's im Stande, Rühr' Liebende nicht an, Die Welt hat keine Treue, O du mein Augenlicht!

[8] Wie lang schilt mich dein Auge, Das alle trüget, aus? Wann wirst du mir dann schmeicheln, Mein auserwählter Freund?

[9] Hat deine edle Seele Beleidiget Hafis, So komm', denn That und Worte Will herzlich ich bereun.

[10] Ich will den Herren loben Aus schuld'ger Dankbarkeit, Wenn diese Frucht gereifet In meine Hände fällt.

[1] با مدعی مگویید اسرار عشق و مستی
تا بی‌خبر بمیرد در درد خودپرستی

ناخوانده نقش مقصود از کارگاه هستی

با کافران چه کارت گر بت نمی‌پرستی

[4] سلطان من خدا را زلفت شکست ما را
تا کی کند سیاهی چندین درازدستی

[5] در گوشه سلامت مستور چون توان بود
تا نرگس تو با ما گوید رموز مستی

[6] آن روز دیده بودم این فتنه‌ها که برخاست
کز سرکشی زمانی با ما نمی‌نشستی

[7] عشقت به دست طوفان خواهد سپرد حافظ
چون برق از این کشاکش پنداشتی که جستی

[1] To the adversary ,utter not the mysteries of love and of intoxication ,
So that ,without knowledge of love in pain of self - worshipping ,he may die .

[2] O Zahid the lover of the true Beloved be if not ,one day ,the world's work endeth
And from the workshop of existence the world the picture of thy purpose unread unattained ,thou shall die

[5] Veiled in the corner of safety ,how can one be ,
As long as ,to me ,the mysteries of intoxication thy narcissus eye uttereth

[7] Although the thorn diminisheth life ,pardon for it the rose seeketh ,
By the side of intoxication's delight ,easy is the bitterness of wine .

[8] Sufi the cup ,drink Hafiz the great flagon prepare
O ye short of sleeve ,how long practise ye long - handedness

[1] Saget nicht dem Nebenbuhler Rausch und Liebegeheimniß, Sonsten geht voll Eigendünkel Ohne Kund' er zu Grunde.

[2] Sey verliebt, es werden Welten Einstens gehen zu Grunde, Kommt der Tod, gehst du hinnen Aus dem Hause des Daseyns.

[3] Mein Götze sprach noch gestern schön Bet Götzen mit den Heiden an.

[4] O Herr! mich brach entzwei dein Haar, Wie lange raubt der Schwarze noch?

[5] Wie ist Sicherheit möglich Im verborgnen Winkel, Wenn die trunkene Narzisse, Rauschgeheimnisse plaudert.

[6] Ich sah das Unheil, was mich traf, Du flohst mich in der harten Zeit.

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.

Der Himmel thuet nichts zu leid Den reinen Engeln, Auf mich häuft sich des Unglücks Last O meine Zuflucht.

[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 .

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.

حافظ ار نیز بداند که چنینم چه شود

[1] If ,from thy garden ,I pluck a rose ,what may it be
If by thy lamp of splendour I see before my feet what may it be

[2] O Lord God within the border of the shade of that lofty cypress ,
If ,a moment at ease ,I consumed sate ,what may it be

[3] O seal - ring of Jamshid ,auspicious of effort ,at last
If ,on the ruby of the seal - ring ,thy reflection fall what may it be

[4] When the Zahid of the city chose the favour of the King and of the Ruler .
If I choose the love of an idol an illusory beloved what may it be

[5] Out from the house of the brain went my reason and ,if wine be this in effect
That ,from the first ,I experienced in the house of my Faith what may it be

[6] On the illusory beloved and on wine ,my precious life was expended
Let us see ,to me ,from that the beloved what may happen and from this the wine what may it be

[7] That I was a lover ,the Khwaja knew and naught said
If Hafiz ,also ,know that I am such a lover ,what may it be

[1] Pflück' ich aus deinem Garten eine Frucht, Beschau' ich meinen Fuß mit deinem Licht, was ist's?

[2] O Herr, wenn ich nur einen Augenblick Verweil' im Schatten dieses hohen Baum's, was ist's?

[3] O du mein theurer Siegelring Dschemschids, Fällt einst dein Schein auf meines Ring's Rubin, was ist's?

[4] In Fürsten sind die Frommen hier verliebt, Erwähl' ich einer holden Schönen Gunst, was ist's?

[5] Fort ist Verstand, und wenn der Wein dies thut, So weiß ich, wie es um den Glauben steht, was ist's?

[6] Mein Leben gieng in Wein und Liebe auf, Ey wunderlich! was nutzt mir dies und das, was ist's?

[7] Mein Herr weiß, daß ich lieb' und saget nichts, Ist's so, so weiß Hafis, was d'raus entsteht, was ist's?

German Translation

[1] بر سر آنم که گر ز دست برآید
دست به کاری زنم که غصه سر آید

[2] خلوت دل نیست جای صحبت اضداد
دیو چو بیرون رود فرشته درآید

[3] صحبت حکام ظلمت شب یلداست
نور ز خورشید جوی بو که برآید

[4] بر در ارباب بی‌مروت دنیا
چند نشینی که خواجه کی به درآید

[5] ترک گدایی مکن که گنج بیابی
از نظر ره روی که در گذر آید

[6] صالح و طالح متاع خویش نمودند
تا که قبول افتد و که در نظر آید

[7] بلبل عاشق تو عمر خواه که آخر
باغ شود سبز و شاخ گل به بر آید

[8] غفلت حافظ در این سراچه عجب نیست
هر که به میخانه رفت بی‌خبر آید

[1] In desire of that I am that ,if ,forth from my hand ,it come ,
I may fix my hand upon a work such that the end of grief may come .

[2] The plain of vision of the heart is not a place of society of opponents
When the demon goeth out ,the angel within may come .

[3] The society of the Ruler is the darkness of night of winter
Ask light of the sun .Possibly ,forth it may come .

[4] At the door of the Lords of the world without manliness ,
How long expectant sittest thou saying In ,at the door ,when will the Khwaja come

[5] Beggary seeking the murshid abandon not .For thou mayst gain treasure
From the kind glance of a holy traveller ,who ,into thy sight ,may come .

[6] Salih and Talah displayed obedience to God
Let us see to whom acceptance will fall and ,into vision ,who will come .

[7] O bulbul lover ask for life .For ,in the end ,
Green will become the garden and into the bosom ,the red rose will come .

[8] In this closet the world like into the wine - house Hafiz's carelessness is no wonder
To the wine - house ,whoever went ,will senseless be come .

[1] Ich sinn darauf, daß mir etwas gelinge, Woraus dann meinem Gram sein Ende komme;

[2] Das Herz ist nicht für Gegner, denn es scheint, Daß wenn ein Teufel geht, ein Engel komme.

[3] Die Dränger halten Rath in Finsternissen, Du bitt', daß Licht der Sonne, daß es komme.

[4] Du kannst am Thor der harten Menschen sitzen, Und warten, daß zuletzt der Hausherr komme.

[5] Du bettle zu kannst einen Schatz noch finden, Vielleicht daß dir ein Blick vom Weg herkomme.

German Translation

[1] روشن از پرتو رویت نظری نیست که نیست
منت خاک درت بر بصری نیست که نیست

[2] ناظر روی تو صاحب نظرانند آری
سر گیسوی تو در هیچ سری نیست که نیست

[3] اشک غماز من ار سرخ برآمد چه عجب
خجل از کرده خود پرده دری نیست که نیست

[4] تا به دامن ننشیند ز نسیمش گردی
سیل خیز از نظرم رهگذری نیست که نیست

[5] تا دم از شام سر زلف تو هر جا نزنند
با صبا گفت و شنیدم سحری نیست که نیست

[6] من از این طالع شوریده برنجم ور نی
بهره مند از سر کویت دگری نیست که نیست

[7] از حیای لب شیرین تو ای چشمه نوش
غرق آب و عرق اکنون شکری نیست که نیست

[8] مصلحت نیست که از پرده برون افتد راز
ور نه در مجلس رندان خبری نیست که نیست

[9] شیر در بادیه عشق تو روباه شود
آه از این راه که در وی خطری نیست که نیست

[10] آب چشمم که بر او منت خاک در توست
زیر صد منت او خاک دری نیست که نیست

[11] از وجودم قدری نام و نشان هست که هست
ور نه از ضعف در آن جا اثری نیست که نیست

[12] غیر از این نکته که حافظ ز تو ناخشنود است
در سراپای وجودت هنری نیست که نیست

[1] O true Beloved from the ray of Thy face ,luminous a glance is not ,that is not
The favour of collyrium of the dust of Thy door ,on an eye is not ,that is not .

[2] Those possessed of sight the prophets who ,with the inward eye ,behold the real beauty of God are the spectator of Thy face .Yes
The desire of Thy tress ,in any ,a desire is not ,that is not .

[3] If through my grief for Thee ,my tear issue red bloody what wonder
Ashamed of that done by himself ,a screen - holder is not that is not .

[4] O Beloved so that on Thy skirt ,a little dust may not settle ,
The torrent of tears from my vision ,a great pathway is not that is not .

[6] Of this distraught fortune ,I grieve and if not ,
Apportioned from the head of Thy street ,another is not ,that is not .

[7] O sweet fountain from the modesty of Thy sweet lip the stream of divine grace
Now ,steeped in water and sweat of toil of search a piece of sugar the illusory beloved is not ,that is not .

[8] No good counsel is it that the mystery should fall out of the screen .
And ,if not ,in the assembly of profligates ,a piece of news of both worlds is not that is not .

[9] In the desert of love for Thee ,the noble lion becometh through fear the crafty fox
Alas ,this Path wherein a danger is not that is not .

[10] The water of my eye ,whereon is the favour collyrium of the dust of Thy door
Under a hundred favours of His ,the dust of a door is not that is not .

[11] From existence ,this degree of name and of fame mine is that is
And if not ,in that place ,from weakness ,an effect is not ,that is not .

[12] Save this subtlety that Hafiz is not pleased with thee ,
Wholly ,in thy existence ,a skill is not ,that is not .

[13] On me ,wherefore bindest thou the girdle of malice ,when of love ,
On the waist of my heart and soul ,a girdle is not ,that is not .

[14] From the head of Thy street ,I cannot go a step
And ,if not ,in the heart of the heart - bereft ,a journey is not that is not .

[15] O gleaming torch in thy head ,what hast thou
That ,through thy action ,roast meat ,a liver is not ,that is not .

[1] Kein Blick der durch der Wangen Glanz nicht hell Geworden wäre! Kein Aug, in welches nicht dein Gnadenstaub Gekommen wäre!

[2] Die ersten Seher sind damit beschäftiget, Dich anzuschauen. Kein Haupt, in das nicht deines Haars Begier Gekommen wäre!

[3] Sind meine Thränen bluthroth aus Schmerz, Ists nicht zu wundern. Sie flößen ohne Scheu, wenn vor der Thür Ein Vorhang wäre.

[4] Damit im Wind kein Stäubchen an den Saum Des Kleids sich setze, Ist keine Stelle, die vom Aug nicht rein Gewaschen wäre. Der Zartgebaute darf nicht geh'n Den Weg der Liebe, Denn keine Furcht, Besorgniß und Gefahr, Die dort nicht wäre!

[5] Damit der Ost den Hauch vom finstern Haar Mir aufbehalte, Vergeht kein Morgen, wo ich nicht mit ihm Im Streite wäre.

[6] Auf meines Schicksals Unglücksstern bin ich Im Ernste böse, Ich wär' es nicht, wenn Keiner sonst von Dir Beglücket wäre.

[7] Weil deine Lippen so verschämet sind, O Honigquelle! Entströmt kein Zucker dir, der nicht in Schweiß Getauchet wäre. Ich armes irres Herz! blut' nicht allein Durch deine Hände, Kein Herz, das nicht von deiner Liebe Gram Verblutet wäre.

[8] Es ist nicht gut, daß die Geheimnisse Entdecket werden, Bald giebt es kein Geheimniß mehr, das nicht Bei Trunk'nen wäre.

[9] In einen Fuchs verwandelt sich der Leu Auf deinem Pfade, O! welch ein Pfad, wo ist Gefahr des Tods, Die drauf nicht wäre?

[10] Der Augen Wasser hat vom Staub des Thors Erfahren Gnade. Kein Stäubchen, das für mich nicht hundertfach Noch Gnade wäre.

[11] Von meinem Daseyn ist der Name mir Zurückgeblieben, Es wäre seltsam, wenn des Körpers Schein Geblieben wäre.

[12] Die Kleinigkeit beiseit, daß dir Hafis, Nicht Lobspruch zollet, Ist keine Tugend, die vom Fuß zum Kopf In Dir nicht wäre.
