[1]  O Sufi outwardly pure ,inwardly impure come ; for bright is the mirror of the cup the heart of the perfect murshid
That thou mayest see the brightness of the wine of ruby hue or experience the intoxication of the wine of the love of God

[2]   Of profligates intoxicated with excess of love for God as the mystery unutterable and hidden within the veil
For ,this state wherein they utter mysteries is not the zahid's ,lofty of degree .

[3]   The Anka God's pure existence is the prey of none .Up - pluck thy snare
For ,here ever ,in the hand of the snare ,is only wind vain thought

[4]   At time's banquet ,enjoy one or two cups moments of union with the true Beloved and go to eternity
Here verily desire not perpetual union for 'tis vain

[5]   O heart youth's vigour hath departed and ,from life ,thou hast not plucked a single rose of true love ,or of divine grace
Elderly of head ,show skill in permanence of name and fame in supplication and lamentation to God

[6]   Whilst thou art in the world strive in the pleasure of zikr va filer of the present .As ,when no water remained ,
Adam let go the garden of the house of safety Paradise

[7]   On our part ,at thy threshold ,many are thy rights of service .
O Sir again ,in pity ,look upon thy slave who ,at least ,hath not quitted thy threshold

[8]   The disciple of the cup of Jamshld is Hafiz .O breeze ,go
And give salutation from the slave to the Shaikh of Jam .

[1]  Komm o Weiser und schau hinein in den Spiegel des Bechers,Schaue die Lust des purpurnen Weines!

[2]  Frag' um verborgenen Sinn die Eingeweihten des Bechers,Weil auch hievon die Frömmsten Nichts ahnen.

[3]  Keiner hat erjagt den Simurg, o zieh die Garne zusammenDenn es schwillt nur vom Winde das Netz auf.Auf! Genieße die Zeit, und gedenke: dem Vater der MenschenBlieb in Elisiums Fluren der Trunk nicht.

[4]  Leere der Becher ein Paar, beym Feste des Lebens und fort dann!Geiz' nicht hienieden nach stätem Genuße.

[5]  Hin ist die Jugend! o Herz, und keine Blume gepflücket,Nach Namen und Tugend streb nun im Alter:

[8]  Ostwind höre! Hafis ist ein treuer Jünger des BechersGeh und grüß mir den Herrn vom Weinhaus.

[1]  O beloved separate from me ,be not for ,the light of my eye thou art
The ease of soul and the friend of the heart - distraught one .

[2]   Off from thy skirt ,restless lovers keep not their hand
Their garment of patience ,thou hast rent .

[3]   From the evil eye - wound of the people ,no injury be thine .For ,
To exceeding beauty in heart - ravishingness ,thou hast attained .

[4]   O Mufti of the time love for her ,forbid me not
I hold thee excused for her thou hast not seen .

[5]   Hafiz this reproach that the friend made thee ,
Perchance ,out from the blanket ,thy foot thou hast drawn .

[6]   Again ,through joy ,to the ground my foot reacheth not ;
Since ,towards me ,with grace and favour thou hast looked .

[7]   The fancy of asking after the state of resourceless lovers ,thou hast ,
As though ,from them ,the perfume of fidelity thou hast perceived .

[1]  O trenn' dich nicht von mir Du bist mein Augenlicht, Du bist des Herzens Ruh', Du bist der Seele Trost.

[2]  Verliebte zieh'n die Hand Von deinem Saum leicht ab. Und doch zerreißest du Ihr Hemde der Geduld. Beängstige dich nicht, Du kommst noch zum Genuß, Wenn du gekostet hast Der Trennung bittres Gift.

[3]  Vom bösen Aug' der Welt Wachs' dir kein Schaden zu, An Lieblichkeit hast du Den höchsten Grad erreicht.

[4]  Von ihrer Liebe halt' Mich, o Mufti, nicht ab. Entschuldigt halt' ich dich, Weil du sie niemals sahst.

[5]  Hafis, daß dich der Freund So schmählt, ist nicht umsonst, Du hast den Fuß vielleicht Zu weit hinausgesetzt.

[1]  O Beloved Thou whose purpose in the world whatever it be ,Thou hast ;
Of the state of the feeble and of the powerless ,what grief is it that Thou hast

[2]   From Thy slave ,life and heart ,demand the soul ,take
For over the free ,the current order Thou hast .

[3]   No waist ,hast Thou and momently I wonder how ,
In the midst of the assembly of lovely ones ,thou displayest exaltation .

[4]   Fit ,is no picture for the whiteness of Thy face because ,
From the musky dark line of down blackness ,upon the ruddy arghavan the ruddy cheek Thou hast .

[5]   O graceful one ever drink wine ,for light of soul thou art
Especially ,at this moment ,when the heavy head through wine thou hast .

[6]   More than this ,against my heart ,make neither reproach ,nor violence
Do whatever thou canst ,when room occasion for it ,- thou hast .

[7]   If ,in thy power ,be a hundred thousand arrows of violence ,
Them with the intention of taking the life of me ,shattered ,thou hast .

[8]   The tyranny of the watchers ,ever endure ; happy of heart ,be ;
For 'tis easy ,if the kind Beloved thou hast .

[9]   If ,one moment ,to thy hand ,union with the Friend reacheth ,
Go do thy work For ,whatever desire is in the world ,thou hast .

[10]   Hafiz when ,in the border of this garden ,thou takest the rose ,
Of the weeping and the lamenting of the gardener ,what grief hast thou

[1]  Du, welche was hienieden Du immer wünschest, hast, Ich weiß nicht, welchen Schmerzen Du ob uns Armen hast.

[2]  Begehr' das Glas, und raube Das Herz dem Sklaven weg, Weil Freye zu beherrschen Du keinen Anstand hast.

[3]  Du kennest keine Mitte, Daher verwundr' ich mich, Wie in der Schönen Mitte Du stets das Mittel hast.

[4]  Es ist der Wangen Weiße, Gemalt nach den Huris, Indeß du schwarze Zeilen Auf Purpurblättern hast.

[5]  O trinke Wein, es gehet Dir alles leicht von Hand, Zumal im Augenblicke, Wo du den Schwindel hast.

[6]  Hör' auf, mich auszuschelten, Doch tränke stets mein Herz, Thu' was dir nur beliebet, Weil du die Vollmacht hast.

[7]  Lanzetten hunderttausend Gebrauch nach deiner Lust, Wenn ob dem Blut des Kranken Du einen Zweifel hast.

[8]  Vergiß die Nebenbuhler, Sey heitern frohen Muths, Denn leicht sind alle Dinge, Wenn einen Freund du hast.

[9]  Wenn du zu dem Genusse Des Freundes einst gelangst, So weiß'st du, daß du alles, Was du nur wünschest, hast.

[10]  Hafis, nimm Ros' und Becher, Nimm um die Mitte sie, Weil auf des Gärtners Launen, Du nicht zu schauen hast.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[78]   Into the sea of self and self - praise ,I am fallen .Bring
Wine ,so that freedom from self and self - praise me ,it may give .

[79]   Hafiz in the rivulet of the eye ,the plant of thy stature
Drank blood ,and established fruit .It thou wishest to up - pluck .

[80]   O thou who ,in our slaughter ,mercy exercisest not
Profit and capital ,thou consumest manliness ,thou showest not .

[81]   Deadly poison ,the sorrowful ones of calamity lovers ,sorrowful through sepa - ration from thee drink
The design of slaying this tribe of lovers is dangerous .Take care that it ,thou doest not .

[82]   Since ,with a corner of thy eye ,our grief it is possible to take ,
The part of justice it is not ,that our remedy for freedom from grief thou makest not .
