[1]  To the shattered one ,when thou comest ,the Fatiha recite
Thy lip ,open for life to the dead ,the ruby of thy lip giveth .

[2]   That one the holy traveller who ,for inquiry after my state came the Fatiha readeth and departeth ,
A breath where that my soul after him ,I may move sacrifice

[3]   O thou that art the physician of the shattered my face and tongue ,behold
For ,on the tongue ,this breath and sigh of my chest is the heart's load .

[4]   Though hot with love ,fever made my bone ,and departed ,
From my bone ,like the fever ,love's fire departeth not .

[5]   Like the state of thy dark mole on the ruddy fire of its native land thy luminous ,ruddy ,cheek is the state of my heart
On account of those two eyes of thine that against me consider tyranny lawful shattered and powerless my body hath become .

[6]   With the water of my two eyes ,quench my heat of love's fever and feel
My pulse whether any trace of life it giveth .

[7]   That one the holy traveller who ,for the sake of rest ,me ,the wine of the bottle the heart had given ,
Momently ,to the physician ,my bottle the heart wherefore taketh he

[8]   Hafiz the draught of the water of life ,me ,thy verse gave
The physician ,forsake come the prescription of my draught sweet verse read .

[1]  Bet', wenn du zum Kranken kommst, ein kleines Gebetlein, Oeffne deinen Rubin, daß er beseele den Leib.

[2]  Wer da kommt zum Besuch, ein Fatiha betet und gehet, Sag' ihm: Habe Geduld; siehe dann folget der Geist.

[3]  Du der Herzen Arzt, beschäme das Aeußre des Herzens, Meine Zunge beschwert Seufzer und Rauch von der Brust.

[4]  Fieberhitze verbrennt das Gebein, doch geht sie von hinnen, Liebesfieber verbrennt, aber es gehet nicht fort.

[5]  Wie das verbrannte Maal ist das Herz im Feuer zu Hause, Deinem Auge gleich schmachtet deßhalben der Leib.

[6]  Lösche nun wieder aus die Gluth mit den Thränen der Augen, Greife mir den Puls, zeiget er Leben noch an?

[7]  Jener, der mir zum Trunk die Flasche der Liebe gegeben, Sage, warum trägt er immer die Flasche zum Arzt.

[8]  Dein Gesang, o Hafis, hat mich mit dem Leben getränket, Laß den Arzt, und komm, singe vielmehr mir ein Lied.

[1]  When to reach His skirt the dust of His path ,I become ,His skirt He shaketh from me
If I say : In love my heart ,return ,His face ,He turneth from me ,

[2]   To every one ,He displayeth His hued cheek like the red rose ,
If I say : Thy face from others conceal : In grief at that His face ,He concealeth from me

[3]   To my eye ,I spake saying At last ,Him once fully behold
It the eye said Perchance thou wishestthat a stream of blood should pour from me .

[4]   Thirsty for my blood ,He and for His blood ,I .So that when it happeneth ,
My desire I will take from Him ; or justice revenge He will take from me .

[5]   If ,like Farhad ,my life in bitterness issueth ,there is no fear
Many sweet tales remain behind of me .

[6]   If before Him ,like the candle ,I die ,at my grief ,He laughcth like the morning
If I grieve ,His tender heart is grieved against me .

[7]   Friends for His mouth ,behold ye my life ,I gave
Say : How for a trifling matter ,He keepeth back from me .

[8]   Hafiz conclude .For ,if in this way ,love's lesson thou read ,
In every corner ,love uttereth tales of me .

[1]  Wenn ich der Staub der Freundinn bin, So reinigt sie den Saum von mir, Und wenn ich sage: kehr' dein Herz So kehret sie sich ab von mir.

[2]  Sie zeigt ihr schönes Angesicht Der ganzen Welt den Rosen gleich, Und wenn ich sage: deck' es zu, So decket sie es zu vor mir.

[3]  Ich sprach zu meinem Aug', o schau', Sie einmal an mit einem Blick; Mein Auge sprach zu mir: Willst du Es fließ' ein blut'ger Strom von mir.

[4]  Sie dürstet stets nach meinem Blut, Nach ihren Lippen dürste ich, Erhalte ich vielleicht mein Ziel, Rächt sie sich wohl vielleicht an mir.

[5]  Entflöhe mir aus Bitterkeit Die Seele, wie Ferhaden einst, So macht es nichts, es bleiben einst Der süßen Sagen viel von mir.

[6]  Wenn ich wie Kerzen vor ihr steh', Lacht sie wie's Morgenroth zum Gram; Und wenn ich böse drüber bin, So zeiget sie sich böse mir.

[7]  Ihr Freunde! eines Kusses halb Gäb' ich die ganze Seele hin, Seht! wegen solcher Kleinigkeit Bleibt sie zurück im Lauf mit mir.

[8]  Versiegle doch dein Wort Hafis, Denn wenn du so die Liebe singst, So singet vor in jeder Eck' Die Liebe Zaubereien mir.

[1]  The beloved said Forth ,thou wentest for the spectacle of the new crescent moon
Thine ,be shame of my crescent moon eye - brows that are more glorious go

[2]   'Tis a life time since ,of the crowd of captives of our tress ,thy heart was
Of keeping the side of thy friends ,careless be not .

[3]   For the blackness of the friend's tress ,sell not the 'itr of reason
For ,there ,they sell a thousand musk - pods of musk for half a barley - corn .

[4]   In this old sown - place this world the seed of fidelity and of love ,
At that time becometh manifest when arriveth the time of reaping .

[5]   Saki wine bring for to thee ,a mystery ,I will tell ,
Of the mystery of the old star ; and of the wandering of the new moon .

[6]   The end of every month ,the waning form of the moon giveth trace ,
Of the end of the diadem of Siyamak ,and of the abandoning of the crown of Zhu .

[7]   Hafiz the threshold of the Pir of the magians is the fortress of fidelity
To him ,read the lesson of love's tale and from him counsel hear .

[1]  Sie sprach: du giengst hinaus den neuen Mond zu schauen, Als ob er nicht von meinen Brau'n beschämet würde.

[2]  Sie sprach: dein Herz ist längst in meinem Haar gefangen, Nicht sorglos sey deßhalb, die Freunde zu bewahren.

[3]  Verkauf' nicht den Verstand um's schwarze Haar der Freundin, Ihr gelten tausend Moschusblasen nicht ein Körnlein.

[4]  Es schießt empor der Treue und der Liebe Saamen. Sobald der Duft von dem Genuß der Freundinn wehet.

[5]  O Schenke bring' den Wein, ich will dir Etwas sagen, Vom alten Glücksgestirn, vom Lauf des neuen Mondes.

[6]  Es lehrt der neue Mond am Aufgang jeden Monats Die Krone Siameks und Schews sey längst verschwunden.

[7]  Hafis! beim alten Wirth ist alter Treue Zuflucht, Lies ihn, und hör', was er von Liebe lehret.

[1]  messenger of the true ones sincere lovers news of our Beloved utter :
To the bulbul ,song - singing the lover the state of the rose the Beloved utter .

[2]   Confidants lovers of the chamber of affection ,are we grief ,suffer not
To the kind friend ,mention of the Friend the Beloved make .

[3]   When those two tress - tips dashed together ,
O breeze come ,what mystery those two tress - tips had ,utter .

[4]   Every one who said The dust of the Friend's door is kuhl ,
To him say Exhibited in our eye ,this matter was this ,to another say .

[5]   The Sufi ,who prohibiteth us the tavern ,
Say In the presence of my Plr ,this matter ,utter .

[6]   If ,again ,by that door of fortune ,passing be thine ,
After the service of attendance ,and the presentation of prayer ,say ,

[7]   Though we be bad ,us ,bad regard not
Sovereign - like ,the tale of the beggar's sin utter .

[8]   To this fakir ,the letter of that great one ,read
To this beggar ,the tale of that King ,utter .

[9]   When ,from the snare of His tress ,He scattered hearts on the dust ,
To that our miserable heart what chanced ,out by way of love ,utter .

[10]   Soul - cherishing ,is the tale of the Lords of ma'rifat
In respect of it ,a mystery ask and a tale ,come and utter .

[11]   Hafiz if to His assembly thee ,the path of access they give ,
Wine ,drink and ,for God's sake ,the abandoning of hypocrisy utter .

[12]   Last night ,at my bewailngi ,the bird of the sward wept
O breeze at last knowest thou what passed say .

[1]  Bote der Gnaden, gieb Kunde vom Freunde, Singe von Rosen der Nachtigall vor.

[2]  Säume dich nicht, denn wir sind die Vertrauten, Sage dem Freunde die Rede des Freunds.

[4]  Jeder, der saget: ihr Staub ist ein Balsam, Sage dies Wörtlein vor unserem Aug'.

[5]  Sage dem Frommen, der trinken verbiethet, Dieses erkläre du uns vor dem Wirth. Wenn von der Kanne der Fromme verführt wird, Sage: schenk' ein, mit dem Glas in der Hand.

[6]  Geh'st du vorbei an der Thüre des Glückes, Sprich nach entrichtetem Gruß und Gebet: Arme und Reiche vermischet die Liebe, König der Schönheit! den Bettler sprich an!

[7]  Bin ich auch böse, so schilt mich nicht deßhalb, Fürstlich verhehle des Bettlers Vergeh'n.

[8]  Lies dem Verarmten des Mächtigen Schreiben, Sprich zu dem Bettler von Königsgewalt. Da die Geliebte die Herzen verstreut hat, Sage dem Sinn, was in Lüften geschah.

[9]  Als die zwei Spitzen der Locken sich schlugen, Ha! wie ich brannte, verkünd' es, o Wind!

[10]  Worte der Weisen sind Nahrung der Seele, Gehe und frag' und erzähle uns dann.

[11]  Kommst du, Hafis, in des Fürsten Gesellschaft, Laß die Verstellung, und trinke den Wein.

[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
