نسیم روضه شیراز پیک راهت بس

که این قدر ز جهان کسب مال و جاهت بس

صراحی می لعل و بتی چو ماهت بس

تو اهل فضلی و دانش همین گناهت بس

ز ره روان سفرکرده عذرخواهت بس

رضای ایزد و انعام پادشاهت بس

[9] به هیچ ورد دگر نیست حاجت ای حافظ
دعای نیم شب و درس صبحگاهت بس

[1] سال‌ها پیروی مذهب رندان کردم
تا به فتوی خرد حرص به زندان کردم

[2] من به سرمنزل عنقا نه به خود بردم راه
قطع این مرحله با مرغ سلیمان کردم

[3] سایه‌ای بر دل ریشم فکن ای گنج روان
که من این خانه به سودای تو ویران کردم

[4] توبه کردم که نبوسم لب ساقی و کنون
می‌گزم لب که چرا گوش به نادان کردم

[5] در خلاف آمد عادت بطلب کام که من
کسب جمعیت از آن زلف پریشان کردم

[6] نقش مستوری و مستی نه به دست من و توست
آن چه سلطان ازل گفت بکن آن کردم

[7] دارم از لطف ازل جنت فردوس طمع
گر چه دربانی میخانه فراوان کردم

[8] این که پیرانه سرم صحبت یوسف بنواخت
اجر صبریست که در کلبه احزان کردم

[9] صبح خیزی و سلامت طلبی چون حافظ
هر چه کردم همه از دولت قرآن کردم

[10] گر به دیوان غزل صدرنشینم چه عجب
سال‌ها بندگی صاحب دیوان کردم

[1] Years ,the pursuit of the service of profligates I made
Until ,by wisdom's decree ,greed into prison ,I put .

[2] Not of myself ,took I the path to the abode of the inaccessible 'Anka the true Beloved
With the bird of Sulaiman the lapwing the travelling of the stage ,I made .

[3] O treasure of desire on my heart - wound ,thy shade cast
For ,by exceeding desire for thee ,this house the heart desolate ,I made .

[4] I repented ,saying : The Saki's lip J will not kiss .And ,now ,
My lip ,I bite because my ear to the counsel of the foolish ,I placed .

[5] Contrary to usage ,seek desire .As ,
From that dishevelled tress of Thine the acquisition of tranquillity which is contrary to usage I made .

[6] Not in my hand ,nor in thine ,is the picture of abstinence and of intoxication
What the Lord of eternity without beginning said Do that ,I did .

[7] From through the grace of eternity without beginning ,paradise ,I greedily desire
Although ,door - keeping of the wine - house ,much I did .

[8] This that the society of Yusuf divine grace cherisheth my elderly head ,
Is the reward of that patience that ,in the sorrowful cell ,I made .

[9] Morning - rising open - heartedness and salvation - seeking ,like Hafiz
Whatever I did ,all from the fortune of the Kuran ,I did .

[10] If in the Divan of ghazals the assembly ,whereat songs they sing on the chief seat ,I sat ,what wonder
Years ,the service of the master of the Divan ,I made .

[11] In the curve of the sky's prayer - arch ,no Hafiz effecteth ,
That grace that ,from the fortune of the Kuran ,I effected .

[1] Jahre lang hab' ich den SchülerDer Betrunkenen gemacht,Endlich hab' ich die BegierdeZum Gefangenen gemacht.

[2] Ich trat nicht allein die ReiseZu dem Nest des Anka an,Denn ich habe mit dem VogelSalomon's den Weg gemacht.

[3] Wirf auf's wunde Herz den Schatten,Meines Wunsches höchster Schatz!Denn es hat mein Haus die LiebeGanz dem Boden gleich gemacht.

[4] Reuig bin ich, denn ich habeNicht geküßt des Schenken Mund,Dummen lieh ich Ohren, leider!Dieses hab' ich dumm gemacht.

[5] Such' auf ungewohnten WegenZu erreichen deinen Wunsch,Denn zerstreute Locken habenMich versammelt erst gemacht.

[6] Trinken oder mäßig lebenStehet nicht bei mir, bei dir.Was der Ewige befohlen,Dieses habe ich gemacht.

[7] Sieh, von seiner ew'gen GnadeHoffe ich das Paradies,Wenn ich gleich an SchenkenthürenOft den Hüter hab' gemacht.

[8] Daß noch meinem alten KopfeJusufs süßer Mund liebkos't,Ist ein Lohn, um den in ZellenIch mich hab' verdient gemacht.

[9] Stehe auf am frühen Morgen,Suche, wie Hafis, dein Heil,Durch den Koran hab' ich allesWas mir je gelang, gemacht

[10] Sitz ich im Diwan der LiebeOben an, so staune nicht.Jahre lang hab' ich den DienerVon des Diwans Herrn gemacht.

Thee ,how may I cure The last remedy is the cautery .

[2] Of the colour and perfume of the spring season ,lay up treasure
For keep arriving in pursuit the highwaymen ,autumn and winter .

[3] When in spring - time her veil the rose up - lifted ; and the bird shouted hu ,hu
From the hand ,the cup put not .Wherefore makest thou the reproachful cry hai ,hai

[4] The pomp of sovereignty and of command ,how hath it stability
Of the throne of Jamshid and of the diadem of Kay ,only a word hath remained .

[5] Treasure - possessing ,by the inheritors is kufr ,
According to the word of the minstrel ,and of the Saki and to the decision of the drum and of the pipe .

[6] Time giveth naught that ,back again ,it taketh not
From the mean ,generosity seek not ; for his existence is no thing worthless

[7] On the hall of the garden of the Abode the threshold of the perfect murshid they have written
Who purchased the world's favour ,to him ,woe

[4] Wann hatte Regierung und Herrschaft Bestand? Von Salomons Throne blieb nur das Gerücht,

[5] Für Erben zu scharren ist Sünde fürwahr. Beim Laute der Schenken, der Trommeln des Rohrs.

[1] طفیل هستی عشقند آدمی و پری
ارادتی بنما تا سعادتی ببری

[2] بکوش خواجه و از عشق بی‌نصیب مباش
که بنده را نخرد کس به عیب بی‌هنری

[3] می صبوح و شکرخواب صبحدم تا چند
به عذر نیم شبی کوش و گریه سحری

[4] تو خود چه لعبتی ای شهسوار شیرین کار
که در برابر چشمی و غایب از نظری

[5] هزار جان مقدس بسوخت زین غیرت
که هر صباح و مسا شمع مجلس دگری

[6] ز من به حضرت آصف که می‌برد پیغام
که یاد گیر دو مصرع ز من به نظم دری

[7] بیا که وضع جهان را چنان که من دیدم
گر امتحان بکنی می خوری و غم نخوری

[8] کلاه سروریت کج مباد بر سر حسن
که زیب بخت و سزاوار ملک و تاج سری

[9] به بوی زلف و رخت می‌روند و می‌آیند
صبا به غالیه سایی و گل به جلوه گری

[10] چو مستعد نظر نیستی وصال مجوی
که جام جم نکند سود وقت بی‌بصری

[11] دعای گوشه نشینان بلا بگرداند
چرا به گوشه چشمی به ما نمی‌نگری

[12] بیا و سلطنت از ما بخر به مایه حسن
و از این معامله غافل مشو که حیف خوری

[13] طریق عشق طریقی عجب خطرناک است
نعوذبالله اگر ره به مقصدی نبری

[14] به یمن همت حافظ امید هست که باز
اری اسامر لیلای لیله القمر

[1] For the sake of love's existence are man and Pari ,
A little pure desire ,show ,so that a great happiness in attaining to true love thou mayst achieve .

[2] Khwaja strive portionless of .love be not
For none buyeth the slave with the defect of being void of skill .

[3] The wine of the morning draught ,and the sweet sleep of dawn ,how long
For pardon strive by the supplication of mid - night ; and ,with the weeping of the morning .

[4] O dainty one ,sorcery - player what doll art thou thyself
Neither in front of the eye art thou nor hidden from vision art thou .

[5] A thousand holy souls consumed on account of this jealousy ,
For ,every morning and evening ,the candle of another assembly thou art .

[6] The message from me to His Highness Asaf ,who taketh ,
Saying Recollect two hemistiches of mine in Dan verse

[7] Come ,so that ,even so ,the world's way I may behold
If ,examination ,thou wilt make ,wine ,thou drinkest and grief ,sufferest not .

[8] On thy head of beauty ,aslant in pride be not the crown of sovereignty
For ,the beauty of fortune ,and worthy of throne and of the crown of gold ,thou art .

[9] By the perfume of Thy tress and Thy cheek ,go and come ,
The morning breeze for acquiring from Thy tress the power of perfume - diffusing ,and the rose for acquiring from Thy cheek splendour .

[10] Since ,prepared of vision ,thou art not ,union ,seek not ,
For ,no good doeth the world - viewing cup of Jamshid at the time of being without vision .

[11] Turneth calamity the prayer of the corner - sitters
With a corner of thy eye ,at us corner - sitters wherefore lookest thou not

[12] O beloved come and ,from us ,with the capital of thy beauty ,sovereignty purchase
Careless of this matter ,be not ,lest sorrow thou suffer .

[13] Love's Path is a path wonderfully dangerous ,
We seek refuge in God If to a place of safety ,the path thou take not .

[14] By the blessing of the prayer of Hafiz ,is hope that again
I may see the traces of glories of my Laila the true Beloved in the path of the night ,luminous with the moon .

[1] Menschen und Feen sind ungebetene Gäste der Liebe, Zeige mir Willenskraft, sicher entführst du das Glück.

[2] Suche keinen Genuß, wenn du nicht im Stand bist zu schauen, Denn der Spiegel Dschemschids nützet den Sehenden nur.

[3] Morgentrunk und Morgenschlaf, wie lange noch währt dieß? Sinn' auf Entschuldigung, höre das Morgengeschrey.

[5] Tausend heilige Seelen, sie sind entbrennet voll Eifer, Weil du Abends und früh Anderen haltest das Licht.

[7] Komm', ich habe so viel aus langer Erfahrung gelernet, Welcher das Weinglas leert, leeret die Sorgen auch aus.

[8] Niemals sey der Wipfel von deiner Cypresse gekrümmet, Denn wahrhaftig du bist würdig der Krone des Throns.

[9] Rosen und Ostwind kommen und gehen mit Glanz und Gerüchen, Diese vom Dufte des Haars, jener vom Licht des Gesichts.

[11] Winkelsitzergebet verhütet Schaden und Unglück. Warum blickest du nicht mir nach dem Winkel des Aug's? Was soll ich thun, verwirrt von der Trennung, und von dem Genuße? Immer bist du im Aug', aber von Angesicht fern.

[12] Komm' und kaufe die Herrschaft von uns mit dem Schatze der Schönheit, Sorge dafür, daß du's nicht mögest verzehren umsonst. Höre den Meister, und sey nicht ganz entblößet von Liebe, Niemand kaufet den Knecht, wenn er nicht Tugenden hat. Jegliche Nachricht öffnet das Thor zu neuen Geschäften, Deßhalb bin ich berauscht, bin so verloren und irr'. Zeige mir doch den Weg in diesen finsteren Gängen. Schon tönt Morgengebet, tönet das Morgengeschrey.

[13] Wunderlich ist der Weg der Lieb' und voll von Gefahren, Laßt uns flüchten zu Gott, daß er uns Sicherheit geb'. Siehe! sie kommen und gehen in Hoffnung des Duftes der Locken, Winde verstreuen das Roth, Rosen bedienen sich deß. Durch die Schmerzen der Freundinn bin ich auf ewig gebunden, Hin ist mein Leben durch sie, aber mich kümmert es nicht. Kennet der Unerfahrene wohl die heimlichen Freuden? Wollte Gott, ich hätt' Kräfte zu Freuden des Gau's! Mein Geheimniß, o Freund! ist durch die Thränen verrathen, Du erbarme dich mein, der zur Genüge mich kennt! Trockenen Mund's gieng ich vorbei am Wasser des Lebens, Hilf mir, Schenke, o hilf, reich' mir vom lautersten Trunk! Wenn Hafis für dich einst stirbt, an der Schwelle der Thüre Wird ihm durch den Tod ewiges Leben zu Theil.

دولت احمدی و معجزه سبحانی

چشم بد دور که هم جانی و هم جانانی

[6] برشکن کاکل ترکانه که در طالع توست
بخشش و کوشش خاقانی و چنگزخانی

بعد منزل نبود در سفر روحانی

[8] از گل پارسیم غنچه عیشی نشکفت
حبذا دجله بغداد و می ریحانی

کی خلاصش بود از محنت سرگردانی

[10] ای نسیم سحری خاک در یار بیار
که کند حافظ از او دیده دل نورانی

Ahmad bin Shaikh Uvais bin Hasan Ilkhani .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[83] Since ,in hope of thee ,our eye is the ocean through weeping why is it that
On the ocean - shore ,in recreation ,passing thou makest not

[84] The tale of every violence that ,of thy gentle nature ,they made ,
Is the word of the interested and is therefore discredited Those deeds of violence thou doest not .

[85] O Zahid if our beloved display splendour to thee by visiting thee
From God ,save wine and the beloved ,a wish thou makest not .

[86] O Hafiz adoration of his eye - brow curved like the prayer - arch ,make
For save here ,a prayer from sincerity's source thou makest not .

[87] This my subtlety ,hear that ,free from grief ,thyself thou mayst make ;
Blood of grief thou drinkest ,if search for victuals ,not placed intended for thee thou makest .

[88] In the end ,the clay of the goglet - maker potters thou wilt become ;
Now ,think of the pitcher of thy heart that ,it ,full of wine of ma'rifat and of love thou mayst make .

[89] If ,of those men thou be ,whose desire is paradise ,
O Pari - born ease with man ,how long is it that thou makest

[90] On the sitting - place of the great ,boastingly it is impossible to lean ,
Unless ,the chattels of greatness ,all prepared ,thou makest .

[91] The writing of God's bounty ,how taketh away thy heart stuffed with sensual claims and ideas of impurity
Unless pure of the stuffed picture ,the leaf of thy heart thou makest

[92] O Khusrau of those sweet of mouth Hafiz rewards are thine ,
If ,to Farhad ,heart - fallen ,a glance thou makest .

[93] Hafiz if back to the Merciful ,thy own work thou pass ,
O great the pleasure that with fortune God - given ,thou makest .

[94] O breeze the service of Khwaja Jallalu - d - Din do ,
Till ,full of the lily of the valley and of the noble lily ,the world thou makest .

[95] O heart in the Beloved's street ,passing thou makest not
The chattels of conjunction ,thou hast and a work thou doest not .

[96] In the hand ,the chaugan of desire yet the ball thou strikest not
In the hand ,a game like this and a prey thou makest not .

[97] This red blood that ,into thy liver ,waveth ,
For the work use of thy face - colour ,a point why is it that thou makest not

[98] Musky fragrant becometh not creation's breath ; because swiftly like the wind ,
On the dust of the Beloved's street ,passing ,thou makest not .

[99] If ,with the soul of grief ,others have purchased the Beloved ,
O heart this deed ,once ,thou doest not .

[100] From this sward the world I fear that thou takest not the sleeve of the rose ma'rifat
For ,the endurance of a thorn from its rose - bed ,thou sufferest not .

[101] To the dust thou castest ,the cup joyous and full of wine and wine
And of the calamity of wine - sickness ,thought thou makest not .

[102] Enclosed in the sleeve of thy soul ,are a hundred musk - pods
Them ,a sacrifice for the Beloved's tress ,thou makest not .

[103] Hafiz go .For the service of the Friend's court ,
If all do ,once thou doest not .

[104] In the morning time ,a way - farer ,on the confines of a land ,
Kept saying this enigma to a companion

[105] O Sufi pure ,becometh wine at that time ,
When ,in bottle ,itbringeth forth accomplisheth a forty days' space .

[106] If the finger of a Sulaiman be not to wear it
What special excellence giveth the engraving of a seal stone

[107] A hundred times ,vexed is God with that khirka ,
Whereof ,a hundred idols of hypocrisy are in a sleeve .

[108] Dark became the inward parts .It may be that ,from the hidden ,
A lamp ,may uplift a khilvat - sitter .

[109] Though only a name ,without trace of reality is generosity ,
Yet thy need present to a noble one

[110] O Lord of the harvest recompense shall be thine ,
If ,a little pity ,thou show to a poor corn - gleaner .

[111] In none ,I see pleasure and ease
Neither ,the remedy for a heart nor ,the pain of working for a faith .

[112] Neither hope of loftiness to the lofty spirit
Nor love's picture on the tablet of a fore - head .

[113] Neither for Hafiz ,present reading the Kuran and khilvat ;
Nor for the sage ,a knowledge of certainty .

[114] The wine - house - door the threshold of the perfect murshid show so that I may inquire ,
My own end from a fore - see - er .

[115] Although the way of lovely ones is cruel haughty of nature ,
What will it be if thou be content with a sad humble one

[116] Perchance ,with desire of khilvat by the marge of a pool ,thou sittest not ,
If not ,every calamity ,that thou experiencest ,all thou experiences from self - seeingness .

[117] I conjure thee by God ,Whose chosen slave ,thou art ,
That ,to this ancient slave ,none thou choose prefer

[118] After this together are we and beggary .For ,at the head of love's stage ,
To wretched way - farers lovers is no remedy save wretchedness .

[119] Thee ,the Khusrau of those moon of face ,respect and shame did
Afarin on thee for ,worthy of a hundred such thou art .

[120] If ,in safety ,love's deposit I take ,there is no fear
Easy is the state of being void of heart heart - bereft if be not the state of being void of faith infidelity

[121] If ,as to the watcher's tyranny patience I exercise not ,what may I do
To wretched lovers ,is no remedy save wretchedness .

[122] From thy sincere slave ,a disinterested word ,hear ,
O thou that ,the cynosure of great ones ,truth beholding ,art

[123] A dainty one like thee ,pure of heart ,pure of nature ,
That is best that ,with evil men ,thou sit not .

[124] Pity cometh mine that ,to the spectacle of the sward ,thou movest
For ,more pleasant than the red rose and more fresh than the wild white rose ,thou art .

[125] O rose beloved wonderful ,with all thy grace thou sittest with the thorn the watcher
Apparently ,in it ,the good counsel of thy welfare thou seest .

[126] From the rose - garden ,arose a morning breeze in desire of thee
For ,like the beautiful ,red ,beperfumed rose ; and ,like the wild white rose ,fragrant thou art .

[127] From left and right ,the bottle - play of my bloody tears thou seest :
If a moment ,on this spectacle - place of my vision ,thou sittest .

[128] O candle of Chigil with this delicacy ,and heart - alluringness thou art
Worthy of the banquet - place of Khwaja Jalalu - d - Din ,thou art .

[129] Taketh the patience of the heart of Hafiz ,the torrent of these streaming tears ,
O pupil of my eye come to my aid .

[130] O Saki 'tis the shade of the cloud ,and spring ,and the stream - bank
I say not ,do what .Of the men of heart Sufis thou art .Dothou thyself say .

[131] From this picture of outward Sufis cometh not the perfume of one colouredness constancy Arise ,
With pure wine ,the deceit - stained and tattered garment of the Sufi ,wash .

[132] Mean of nature ,is the world on its generosity ,rely not
O world - experienced one from the mean ,stability of foot do not thou - seek .

[133] Thy ear open .For ,this lament ,the bulbul saith
Khwaja deficiency commit not ; the rose of the grace of God smell .

[134] Thee ,two counsels I make ,Hear ; and a hundred treasures bear away :
By the door of pleasure ,enter in the path of defect ,do not strive .

[135] The true Beloved's face ,th'ou seekest Fit ,the mirror of the heart make ;
If not ,ever blossometh not the red rose and the wild white rose from hard iron and from base brass .

[136] Before that ,dust in the wine - house thou becomest
In the pavilion of the wine - house ,a space of one or two days ,strive .

[137] For thanks for that ,that again to spring thou hast reached ,
The root of goodness ,plant ; the rose of the grace of God smell .

[138] Thou saidest From our Hafiz ,cometh the perfume of hypocrisy
Afarin be on the breath for well thou broughtest a great perfume .

[139] From the cypress - hough ,in Pahlavi shout ,the bulbul ,
Last night ,the lesson of the stages of spirituality the Masnavl of Jalalu - d - Din Rumi kept saying

[140] Come ,for the rose hath displayed the fire of Musa ,
So that ,from the fiery bush ,the subtlety of the unity of God thou mayst hear .

[141] Melody - measuring and jest - uttering ,are the birds of the garden ,
So that ,to Pahlavi ghazals and Persian subtleties wine the khwaja may drink .

[142] Happy the time the quiet mat of beggary ; and the sleep thereon of tranquillity ,
For ,not befitting the khusravl crown is this ease .

[143] Naught from the world took Jamshld ,save the world - viewing cup ;
Ho on worldly chattels ,bind not thy heart .

[144] Darvish and beggar ,I am yet ,equal ,I make not
The ragged felt darvish cap to a hundred splendid khusravl crowns .

[145] To his son ,the years endured old villager spake how well ,
Saying : O light of my eye save that sown ,thou reapest naught .

[146] Man's house with the glance ,thy eye hath darkened
Thine ,be no wine - sickness For ,intoxicated ,happy thou goest .

[147] This tale of wonder of inverted fortune ,hear
Us ,the beloved ,with the revivifying breath of ' sa ,slew .

[148] To the slave's verse ,wine drink .Thine ,be no heart - straitedness
On the head of worldly chattels ,be dust after thee .

[149] Perchance ,more than his due Hafiz's allowance of wine the Saki gave ,
That disarranged became the Maulavi's turban - tassel .

[150] O thou void of news of love strive that the master of news ,thou mayst be
So long as way - farer thou art not ,road - guide how is it that thou mayst be

[151] In the school of truths and of ma'rifat before love's master the murshid ,perfect and excellent
Ho O son strive that ,one day worthy to be father old thou mayst be .

[152] Far from love's degree ,thee ,sleeping and eating put
To love ,thou attainest at that time when sleepless and foodless thou shalt be .

[153] When ,on thy heart and soul ,the light of God's love falleth ,
By God I swear that fairer than the sky's resplendent sun thou shalt be .

[154] From the copper of thy existence ,like men of the Path tarikat thy hand wash ,
So that love's alchemy ,thou mayst obtain and gold thou mayst be .

[155] From head to foot ,thine all God's light shall be ,
When footless and headless the world's chattels and ease abandoned in the Path of Him possessed of majesty ,thou shalt be .

[156] A moment ,immersed in God's sea ,be think not ,
That ,to the extent of a single hair ,with the water of seven all the seas of the world wet ,thou shalt be .

[157] If the face of God be the spectacle - place of thy vision
After this ,not a doubt remaineth that the possessor of vision ,thou shalt be .

[158] It ,below and above ruined the foundation of thy existence be ,
Think not in thy heart that ,below and above ,thou mayst be .

[159] Hafiz if in thy head be desire of union with the true Beloved
It is necessary that the dust of the court of Him possessed of vision ,thou shouldest be .

[160] In the morning ,the invisible speaker of the wine - house with fortune - wishing ,
Said O Hafiz come back for an old friend of this court thou art .

[161] Like Jamshld ,a draught of wine ,drink ,so that ,of the mystery of the angels ,
Thee ,the ray of the cup ,world - viewing ,may give news .

[162] At the wine - house door ,are Kalandar - profligates ,
Who take away and give the imperial diadem .

[163] Beneath the head ,the brick and the foot on the summit of the seven stars Pleiades
Behold the hand of power and the dignity of one possessed of dignity

[164] Together are our head and the door of the wine - house ,the side of the vault whereof
Is uplifted to the sky ,though the wall be of this lowliness .

[165] O traveller of the Path to the beggars of the wine - house door ,
Courteous be if ,acquainted with the mysteries of God ,thou be .

[166] O heart if thee ,the kingdom of poverty ,they give ,
Thy least territory will be from the moon above to the fish beneath supporting the earth

[167] Without the road - fellowship of Khizr ,this path travel not
'Tis the zulmat fear the danger of road - losing .

[168] The door of poverty ,thou knowest not how to beat .From the hand ,let not go ,
The seat of Lordship ,and the royal assembly of TQran .

[169] O Sikandar patiently sit useless grief ,suffer not
For ,thee ,the water of life ,they give not even on account of sovereignty .

[170] Hafiz ,crude of greed of this tale ,have shame
What is thy work ,reward for which two worlds thou desirest

[171] O them ,in whose face are revealed the splendours of sovereignty ;
And ,in whose thought ,are concealed divine philosophies

[172] In the country of faith ,thy reed it ,may God bless
A hundred fountains of the limpid water of life from a small ink - drop opened .

[173] On Ahriman ,shine not the splendours of the ism - i - a'zam ,
Thine ,is the country and the seal - ring .What thou wishest ,order .

[174] Doubt in Sulaiman's pomp ,whoever displayeth ,
On his wisdom and knowledge ,even the bird and the fish will in mockery laugh .

[175] Though ,sometimes ,on his head ,the cap of sovereignty ,the hawk putteth ,
The usage of sovereignty ,the birds of the mountain of Kaf well know .

[176] That sword ,to which ,out of its own bounty ,the sky giveth lustre ,
Alone ,without the aid of an army ,will sever the world .

[177] In respect of the friend and of the enemy ,pleasantly writeth in the magic figure thy reed
The amulet ,life - increasing for the friend sorcery ,life - decreasing for the enemy

[178] O them ,whose elements are created of the alchemy of honour
And thou ,whose fortune is safe from the disaster of ruin

[179] If ,on quarry and mine ,a flash of thy sword fall ,
To the ruby ,red of face ,it giveth the hue of withered yellow grass .

[180] O King tis a life time since void of wine was my cup
Behold thereof from the slave ,a claim ; and ,from the muhtasib ,testimony

[181] The weakness of the night - sitters ,I know ,thy heart will pity
If ,of the breeze of the morning - time ,my state thou ask .

[182] Saki Murshid from the fountain of the tavern of ma'rifat a little water bring ,
So that ,from the wonder of the monastery pride of our own devotion the khirkas ,we may wash and ,in supplication and in submission to God ,engage

[183] In Adam's household ,as long as the way of sovereignty was ,
Like thee ,none hath known this science of sovereignty as it is .

[184] Cometh not violence from the cruel sky so long as angel of quality thou art
Oppression on me departed from the world ,sinee world - shelter thou art .

[185] When ,on the sin of pure Adam ,lightning flashed ,
Us ,the claim to sinlessness how adorneth befitteth

[186] O asylum of created beings O bestower of gifts
On poor me whom calamities have visited mercy show

[187] Hafiz since ,sometimes ,thy name the King taketh mentioneth
To him ,grief on account of fortune display not in pardon - seeking ,come back .

[188] Not ,in all the cloisters of the magians ,is like me a distraught one
In one place ,the khirka my existence is the pledge for wine the book the heart in another place .

[189] The heart ,which is a royal mirror ,hath by worldly affairs and by the dross of sin a great dust ,the prohibitor of divine bounty
From God ,I seek the society of one ,luminous of opinion .

[190] From my eye to the skirt ,I have established streams of tears so that ,per .chance ,
In my bosom ,they may place one ,straight of stature .

[191] The bark shaped cup ,bring for ,without the Beloved's face ,
From the heart's grief ,every corner of the eye hath become a great ocean of tears

[192] By the hand of an idol ,wine - selling ,repentance I have made
That again ,wine I drink not without the face of a banquet - adorner .

[193] The mystery of this subtlety ,perchance ,the candle will bring to its tongue
If not ,for speech ,the moth hath not even a little solicitude .

[194] To me ,mistress - worshipping ,speak not of aught beside
For ,beyond her and the cup of wine ,for none is mine ,even a little solicitude .

[195] If of the way of its beauteous eye ,the narcissus boasted ,grieve not for ,vision ,it hath not
The man of vision goeth not in pursuit of a non - see - er .

[196] How pleasantly to me came this tale when in the morning time ,said ,
At the door of the wine - house ,with drum and reed ,a Christian

[197] If the being a musulman be of this sort that Hafiz is ,
Alas ,if ,after to - day ,be a to - morrow .

[198] In my eye ,the eye - brow of one moon of form ,I have made
The fancy of one fresh of down ,I have pictured a place .

[199] The hope is that the order of my love - play
May reach from that bow - eyebrow to the rank of a beautiful Tughra .

[200] From the hand ,went my head from expectation ,my eye consumed
In desire of the head and of the eye of an assembly - adorner .

[201] In that place where ,with a glance ,the lovely ones strike the sword ,
Wonder not ,at a head which ,hath fallen severed at a foot .

[202] From separation perturbed is my heart ; fire to the khirka ,I will set and ,from this ,escape
Come ,come for ,glorious ,it will make a spectacle .

[203] Since ,from His the true Beloved's face the effulgent moon in the bedchamber is mine ,
For the twinkling of the star the illusory beloved where is even a little solicitude

[204] My heart's rein I ,the darvlsh ,have given to that one God
To whom ,for any one's crown ,or throne ,is not even a little solicitude .

[205] Separation or union what martereth it The Friend's will ,seek
For ,from Him ,aught beside union with Him ,vain is a wish .

[206] In the day of events of death make ye our coffin of the lofty cypress ,
For ,we go with the mark of a lofty one .

[207] For scattering on Hafiz through exceeding desire the fishers bring forth pearls ,
If Hafiz's bark should reach a sea .

[208] A salutation ,like the pleasant perfume of friendship ,
To that man of the eye of light

[209] A salutation ,like the light of the heart of the pious
To that candle of the khilvat - place of piety .

[210] None of my fellow - companions in his place ,I see
With grief ,my heart is become blood .Saki the murshid where art thou

[211] The wine ,sufl - overthrowing ,they sell where
For ,in torment ,I am from the hand of austerity of hypocrisy .

[212] The covenant of society ,the companions have so shattered ,
That thou mayst say Verily ,hath not been friendship .

[213] Thy face ,away from the street of the magians ,turn not .For ,there ,
They sell the key of the opening of difficulty .

[214] Although within limit ,the bride of the world hath beauty ,
Beyond limit ,she taketh the way of unfaithfulness .

[215] My shattered heart if it's be a desire ,
Desireth not ,from those stone of heart ,a mumiya .i .

[216] Thee ,the chemistry of happiness ,I will teach
From bad fellowship ,separation ,separation

[217] O lust of greed if thou leave me ,
Great sovereignty contentment I will make in beggary .

[218] Hafiz of time's violence ,complain not
O slave what knowest thou divine work

[219] O king of the lovely the beloved ones of the world for grief of being alone ,justice
Without Thee ,to the soul ,my heart hath come .Tis the time when thou shouldst come back ; and me safety ,give

[220] Me ,so far from Thee desirousness and farness made ,
That ,from the hand ,will depart the power of patience .

[221] O Beloved the pain of love for Thee is my remedy on the couch of unfulfilled desire
And O Beloved Thy memory ,my consoler in the corner of solitude .

[222] In the compass of our fate ,the point of the compass ,are we
The favour is whatever Thou thinkest the order ,whatever Thou orderest .

[223] In the world of profligacy of being a lover of God is neither thought of self ,nor opinion of self :
In this religious order ,Kufr is self - seeing and self - opinioning .

[224] O Lord to whom is it fit to utter this subtlety that ,in the world ,
That lovely one of every place the true Beloved His face displayed not .

[225] Last night ,to the morning breeze ,complaint of His tress ,I uttered
The breeze said A mistake This thy distraught thought ,abandon of Him complain not ; whatever He wisheth ,He doeth

[226] Here with the chain of His tress a hundred morning breezes keep dancing
O heart so long as thou measurest not the wind a thing impossible to do this is thy companion .

[227] Saki not a colour of decoration hath the sward of the rose without thy face ;
Moving make thy box - tree stature so that the garden thou mayst adorn .

[228] O Beloved ever joyous ,remaineth not the rose of this garden of the world .
At the time of powerfulness perfection of beauty the feeble ones aid and their state ,pity

[229] On account of this blue circle the sky bloody of liver I am give wine
So that ,in the enamel - cup ,this difficulty I may solve .

[230] Hafiz departed hath the night of separation come hath the sweet fragrance of morn
O lover of distraughtness auspicious be thy gladness .

[231] O heart if ,from that pit of the chin of the true Beloved thou comest forth ,
Everywhere that thou goest ,quickly regretful ,thou comest forth .

[232] It is possible that even with a little water thee ,the sky may not aid
If ,thirsty of lip ,and hopeless from the fountain of life thou comest forth .

[233] Sense keep for if lust's temptation thou heed ,
From the garden of Rizvan ,like Adam ,thou comest forth .

[234] In desire of seeing thee ,like the radiant morning ,my soul I surrender ;
Possibly ,like the gleaming sun ,thou mayest come forth .

[235] Like the breeze ,on thee ,the breath of blessing I send to such a degree
That ,from the rose - bud ,like the rose ,joyous and laughing thou comest forth .

[236] In the dark night of separation from thee ,to the lip ready to depart came my soul
'Tis the time when like the shining moon ,thou comest forth .

[237] From my two eyes ,on the dust of thy door ,I have established a hundred streams
It may be that ,like the moving cypress thou mayest come forth .

[238] In the house of grief and of reproach ,how long sittest thou
'Tis time that ,by the Sultan's fortune ,thou shouldst come forth .

[239] Hafiz think not that that Yusuf ,moon of face the Beloved
Again cometh to thee and that ,from the hut of sorrow ,thou comest forth .

[240] Wine ,demand rose - scattering ,make from time ,what seekest thou
Thus ,at morn ,to the bulbul spake the rose .What sayest thou

[241] To the rose - garden ,the cushion take so that of the lovely one and of the Saki ,
The lip ,thou mayst take ,and the cheek ,kiss so that wine thou mayst drink and the rose ,smell .

[242] Let us see ,in whose fortune will be thy laughing rose - bud
O bough of the rose ra'na for whose sake ,growest thou

[243] O beloved the box - tree of thy stature proudly move ; and ,the resolution of sauntering in the garden ,make
So that ,from thy stature ,the lofty ,straight cypress may learn heart - seeking .

[244] To - day ,when full of tumult of the purchaser is thy market ,
Get ,and establish a little road - provision out of the capital of goodness .

[245] As ,in the thoroughfare of the breeze ,is the flaming candle ,so is thy good going 'tis profitless
A little profit of skill ,derive out of the capital of goodness .

[246] That tress ,every ringlet whereof is worth a hundred musk - pods of Chin ,
Happy had it been if had been its perfume from happy disposition

[247] In the king's rose - bed ,cometh every bird singing
The bulbul to melody - making ; Hafiz to prayer - uttering .

[1] Es sey gedanket Gott dem Herrn, Daß billig ist der Fürst; Sultan Ahmed, der Sohn Oweisens, Hasans, des Ilchaniden.

[2] Ein Chan der Chane, und ein Fürst Der Fürsten von Geburt, Der es verdienet, daß du ihn Die Weltenseele nennst.

[3] Das Auge hat zwar nichts geseh'n, Blind glaubt es deinem Glück. Sey mir willkommen, sey willkomm, Du, Gottes Gnaden werth!

[4] Und gehet ohne dein Gebet, Der Mond am Himmel auf, Du schneidest ihn entzwei, wie einst Ahmed durch's Wunderwerk.

[6] Du kräusle deine Locken auf, Wie sie der Thürke kräus't, Denn du vereinst den hohen Muth, Das Glück von Dschengischan.

[7] Ich trinke weit von dir entfernt, Dir zur Gesundheit Wein, Denn auf dem Weg der Geister giebt's Sonst keine Station.

[8] Die Rose Farsistans entblüht Für mein Vergnügen nicht. Wie schön ist nicht des Tigris Fluth, Und durchgewürzter Wein.

[9] Wie kann sich ein verliebtes Haupt, Dem's an des Liebchens Thür Als Staub zu bleiben nicht gefällt, Sich retten vor dem Gram!

[10] O Morgenwind! bring' mir den Staub Von meinem Freunde zu, Womit Hafis erleuchten wird Des Auges dunkle Nacht.

[1] دلی که غیب نمای است و جام جم دارد
ز خاتمی که دمی گم شود چه غم دارد

[2] به خط و خال گدایان مده خزینه دل
به دست شاهوشی ده که محترم دارد

[3] نه هر درخت تحمل کند جفای خزان
غلام همت سروم که این قدم دارد

[4] رسید موسم آن کز طرب چو نرگس مست
نهد به پای قدح هر که شش درم دارد

[5] زر از بهای می اکنون چو گل دریغ مدار
که عقل کل به صدت عیب متهم دارد

[6] ز سر غیب کس آگاه نیست قصه مخوان
کدام محرم دل ره در این حرم دارد

[7] دلم که لاف تجرد زدی کنون صد شغل
به بوی زلف تو با باد صبحدم دارد

[8] مراد دل ز که پرسم که نیست دلداری
که جلوه نظر و شیوه کرم دارد

[9] ز جیب خرقه حافظ چه طرف بتوان بست
که ما صمد طلبیدیم و او صنم دارد

[1] That heart that is the hidden - displayer and that the cup of Jamshid hath ,
For a seal ring of Sulaiman that awhile became lost ,what grief is it that it hath

[2] To the beard or to the mole ,of beggars outward lovers ,who ,before the true Beloved ,are like beggars give not the heart's treasure
Give to the hand of a king - like one ,who it precious hath holdeth

[3] Not every tree endureth the violence of autumn :
The slave of resolution of the cypress ,I am ,who this foot of endurance hath .

[4] Hath arrived that season ,when from joy like the intoxicated narcissus ,
He placeth it at the goblet's foot as price for wine who sixdirhams hath .

[5] Now ,like the rose hold not back gold for the price of wine
For ,suspicion of thee ,by a hundred defects ,absolute reason Jibra ,il or the Light of prophecy hath .

[6] With the hidden mystery ,none is acquainted utter not the tale of the forbidders of wine
The path into this sacred enclosure ,what confidant friend of the heart hath .

[7] My heart that used to boast of solitude ,now a hundred occupations ,
With the morning breeze ,on account of the perfume of Thy tress hath .

[8] The heart's desire of whom may I seek Since there is no heart - possessor ,
Who ,splendour of sight ,and habit of liberality ,hath .

[9] From the pocket of Hafiz's religious garment ,what profit can one gain
For from him we seek the eternal ; and his own work with a beloved he hath .

[1] Sieh! mein Herz, das vom Verborgnen Kunde, Kunde von Dschemschidens Becher hat, Nimmer eines einz'gen Ringes wegen, Den es irre geht, Kummer hat!

[2] Gieb den Schatz des Herzens in die Hände, Von dem Maal und Flaum der Bettler nicht, Aber gieb ihn einem mächtigen Schahe, Der denselben hoch in Ehren hat.

[3] Nicht ein jeder Baum kann widerstehen Diesen Herbstorkanen, Gram und Schmerz. Doch ich bin der Sklave der Cypreße, Deines Wuchses, welcher Wahrheit hat.

[4] Die sechs Blätter am Narzißenkelche Wollen gar nichts anders sagen, als: Jeder lege in des Glases Boden Die sechs Pfennige, die er noch hat.

[5] Da die Zeit des Frühlings nun gekommen, Spar' so wenig als die Rose Gold, Weil die Geizigen die Rose Im Verdacht von hundert Fehlern hat.

[6] Niemand hat von dem Geheimniß Kunde, Spar' dir also die Erzählung auf, Sage an, wo ist der Hochbetraute, Welcher Kunde vom Geheimniß hat?

[7] Sieh, mein Herz, das sich zuvor gepriesen, Seiner freyen Unabhängigkeit, Siehe, wie es mit dem Dufte deiner Locken Tausendfach zu schaffen hat.

[8] Wen soll ich um meines Herzens Wünsche Wenn soll ich drum foderen mit Recht, Da ich keinen Herzenspfleger kenne, Der die Kunst, mir schön zu thun, besitzt.

[9] Was entspringt für Nutzen aus Hafisens Heucheleibeflecktem Ordenskleid? Wir verlangen nach des Ew'gen Antlitz, Während er nur einen Abgott hat.

German Translation

[1] سال‌ها دفتر ما در گرو صهبا بود
رونق میکده از درس و دعای ما بود

[2] نیکی پیر مغان بین که چو ما بدمستان
هر چه کردیم به چشم کرمش زیبا بود

[3] دفتر دانش ما جمله بشویید به می
که فلک دیدم و در قصد دل دانا بود

[4] از بتان آن طلب ار حسن شناسی ای دل
کاین کسی گفت که در علم نظر بینا بود

[5] دل چو پرگار به هر سو دورانی می‌کرد
و اندر آن دایره سرگشته پابرجا بود

[6] مطرب از درد محبت عملی می‌پرداخت
که حکیمان جهان را مژه خون پالا بود

[7] می‌شکفتم ز طرب زان که چو گل بر لب جوی
بر سرم سایه آن سرو سهی بالا بود

[8] پیر گلرنگ من اندر حق ازرق پوشان
رخصت خبث نداد ار نه حکایت‌ها بود

[9] قلب اندوده حافظ بر او خرج نشد
کاین معامل به همه عیب نهان بینا بود

[1] Years ,in pledge for the wine of the grape ,our book of knowledge and of conduct was :
From our reading and praying ,the splendour of the wine - house the perfect Arif's heart was .

[3] Our book of knowledge ,wash ye all with wine
For I beheld the sky and ,in malice with the sage's heart ,it was .

[4] O heart seek that beauty from idols if thou be beauty - recogniser
For ,that one who spake this ,in knowledge of sight ,the see - er the murshid was .

[5] In every direction in the tavern like the compass ,my heart made a great revolution
And ,standing in that circle ,bewildered was .

[6] From love's pain ,the minstrel performed a great deed
Such that blood - stained ,the eye - lash of the world's sages was .

[7] With joy ,I expanded on that account that ,like the rose on the marge of the stream ,
On my head ,the shadow of that cypress of straight stature was .

[9] The counterfeit gathered by Hafiz was not passed by him the Pir of the Magians the Murshid the true Beloved
For the master of business the Pir wise as to hidden defect ,was .

[1] Viel Jahre sind es, daß mein Buch Für rothen Wein verpfändet ist, Und daß der Schenke Ruhm und Glanz Durch mein Gebet gestiegen ist.

[2] O sieh, wie gut der alte Wirth, Wie mild er sich erzeigt, Indem, was Böses wir gethan, Ein Schmuck in seinen Augen ist.

[3] Auf! lustig! wascht die Bücher aus, Wascht alle aus mit rothem Wein, Ich hab' gesehen, daß das Loos Nur Gram den weisen Herzen ist.

[4] Mein Herz! von Schönen fodre viel, Wenn du auf Schönheit dich versteh'st, Denn dieses hat ein Mann gesagt, Der in der Welt erfahren ist.

[5] Gleich einem Zirkel sah ich, daß Mein Herz sich umgedrehet hat, Und daß es dann verwirrt im Kreis Der Liebe fest gestanden ist.

[6] Der Sänger hat von Liebesschmerz Ein Lied so traurig angestimmt, Daß allen Weisen in der Welt, Von Wimpern Blut gefloßen ist.

[7] Aus Freude bin ich aufgeblüht, Der jungen Frühlingsrose gleich, Als an dem Bach das Schattenbild Der Ceder mein geworden ist.

[8] Mein rosenfarber Alter gab Den Blauen die Erlaubniß nicht, Was Böses zu begeh'n, weil sonst Das Auge gleich geschäftig ist.

[9] Hafisens vielgewandtes Herz, Ist wahrlich nicht dazu gemacht, Daß es von dem, was Andere Dir Böses thun, ein Wißer ist.

German Translation

[1] ما را ز خیال تو چه پروای شراب است
خم گو سر خود گیر که خمخانه خراب است

[2] گر خمر بهشت است بریزید که بی دوست
هر شربت عذبم که دهی عین عذاب است

[3] افسوس که شد دلبر و در دیده گریان
تحریر خیال خط او نقش بر آب است

[4] بیدار شو ای دیده که ایمن نتوان بود
زین سیل دمادم که در این منزل خواب است

[5] معشوق عیان می‌گذرد بر تو ولیکن
اغیار همی‌بیند از آن بسته نقاب است

[6] گل بر رخ رنگین تو تا لطف عرق دید
در آتش شوق از غم دل غرق گلاب است

[7] سبز است در و دشت بیا تا نگذاریم
دست از سر آبی که جهان جمله سراب است

[8] در کنج دماغم مطلب جای نصیحت
کاین گوشه پر از زمزمه چنگ و رباب است

[9] حافظ چه شد ار عاشق و رند است و نظرباز
بس طور عجب لازم ایام شباب است

[1] With fancy for perpetual union with Thee ,what desire for wine Love is ours
To the jar the Murshid possessed of truths and of divine knowledge say Take thy head depart for the jar - house is ruined .

[2] Even if it be the wine of Paradise ,spill it .For without the Friend God
Every draft of sweet water that thou givest is the very essence of torment .

[3] Alas The Heart - Ravisher hath departed and in the weeping eye
The picturing of the fancy of a letter from Him is only the picture on water quick of decline ; calamitous to the seeker

[4] O eye be vigilant .For ,one cannot be safe on the couch of ignorance
From this lasting torrent of vicissitudes that occurreth in the stage of sleep this world

[5] The Beloved One God openly passeth ,by thee but
Keepeth seeing strangers .On that account ,the Beloved is veil - bound .

[6] Since the ruddy rose beheld the grace of sweet latest beauty on thy coloured cheek ,
In envy's fire ,through the heart's grief ,it is immersed in rose - water .

[7] Green are the valley and the plain .O Friend come let us not let go
The hand from the pleasure of the water - pool ; for the world is all mirage and naught else

[8] In the corner of my brain ,seek no place of counsel
For this brain - cell is full of the hum of the harp and of the ribab .

[9] If Hafiz be lover ,or profligate ,or glance - player ,what then
In the time of youth ,many a strange way is necessary .

[11] O candle the true Beloved heart - illuminating
Without Thy face heart - adorning ,my heart is dancing on the fire like roast meat .

[1] Schwebt dein Bild mir vor den Augen, Was kümmert mich das Trinken? "Sey gefaßt - so sprich zur Kanne - "Denn die Schenke wird zerfallen." -

[2] Ist gleich in dem Rebensafte Selbst das Paradies enthalten, Gießt ihn weg! es sind Scherbete, Ohne Mädchen mir die Hölle.

[3] Weh! die Freundinn ist entflohen, Und in meiner Augen Thränen, Sind die Formen Ihrer Schönheit Zart auf Wasser hingemalet.

[4] Wache auf mein Auge! wache! Wer auf diesem Posten schlummert, Ist von der Gefahr des Stromes Keinen Augenblick gesichert.

[5] Die Geliebte wollte ohne Schleyer hier vorüberwallen, Aber sie sah Nebenbuhler, Deßhalb hat sie sich verschleyert.

[6] Seit die Rose hat gesehen Deines Wangenthaues Anmuth, Sank, auf Eifersucht verbrennet, Sie in Rosenwasser unter.

[7] Thäler grünen, Berge grünen, Komm und laß uns an dem Wasser Nicht mit leeren Händen sitzen, Denn die Zeit zerrinnt wie Wasser. Dein Gesicht hat in dem Herzen Hundert Lichter angezündet, Obgleich (das ist eben selten) Hundert Schleyer es verhüllen. O du Flammenkorn der Herzen, Ohne deiner Wangen Schimmer Ist mein Herz, das an dem Feuer Tanzte, längst in Staub verbrennet. Immer sey Hafis betrunken, Immer koß' er liebeäugelnd, Manche wunderliche Streiche Ziemen in der Zeit der Jugend.

[8] In dem Winkel meines Hirnes Such' ich Rath und gute Lehren, Denn du wirst darin von Cythern Und von Lauten übertönet. Was für eine hohe Straße Ist die Straße deiner Liebe! Denn der Ocean des Himmels Ist nur Wasserschein dagegen!

German Translation

[1] بیا که قصر امل سخت سست بنیادست
بیار باده که بنیاد عمر بر بادست

[2] غلام همت آنم که زیر چرخ کبود
ز هر چه رنگ تعلق پذیرد آزادست

[3] چه گویمت که به میخانه دوش مست و خراب
سروش عالم غیبم چه مژده‌ها دادست

[4] که ای بلندنظر شاهباز سدره نشین
نشیمن تو نه این کنج محنت آبادست

[5] تو را ز کنگره عرش می‌زنند صفیر
ندانمت که در این دامگه چه افتادست

[6] نصیحتی کنمت یاد گیر و در عمل آر
که این حدیث ز پیر طریقتم یادست

[7] غم جهان مخور و پند من مبر از یاد
که این لطیفه عشقم ز ره روی یادست

[8] رضا به داده بده وز جبین گره بگشای
که بر من و تو در اختیار نگشادست

[9] مجو درستی عهد از جهان سست نهاد
که این عجوز عروس هزاردامادست

[10] نشان عهد و وفا نیست در تبسم گل
بنال بلبل بی دل که جای فریادست

[11] حسد چه می‌بری ای سست نظم بر حافظ
قبول خاطر و لطف سخن خدادادست

[2] Beneath the azure vault ,I am that slave of resolution ,who
Is free from whatever taketh colour of attachment .

[3] What shall I tell thee Last night ,in the wine - tavern the stage of Truth completely intoxicated .
Me ,Jibr'a ,il of the invisible world gave tidings how glad ,

[4] Saying O Falcon of lofty vision ,sitting on the Sidra tree of lofty degree
Not thy nest ,is this corner of the world full of woe .

[5] From highest Heaven's pinnacle ,they utter a cry for thee
In this snare - place the World I know not what Fortune hath befallen thee that with it ,thou art fascinated

[6] Counsel ,I proffer thee take it to mind ; bring it into action
For ,from the Pir of Tarikat the Path I recollect this matter .

[7] Suffer not grief for the World ; take not my counsel from thy mind
For ,from a wayfarer ,I recollect this sweet saying

[8] Give contentment to that God given unloose the frown from thy forehead
For ,the door of choice is not open to me and thee .

[9] From the world of unstable nature ,seek not uprightness of covenant
For ,this old woman is the bride of a thousand Lovers .

[10] In the smile of the rose ,is no trace of the covenant of fidelity
O Bulbul lover ; bewail ; for it is the place of wail .

[11] O languid verse wherefore bearest thou envy towards Hafiz
God - given ,are the acceptance of the heart ; and the grace of speech .

[1] Komm! es ruht der Pallast der Hoffnung auf lustigen Pfeilern, Komm und bringe mir Wein, unsere Tage sind Wind.

[2] Gerne weih' ich als Sklav mich jenem muthigen Geiste, Der auf der weiten Welt aller Verbindung entsagt.

[3] Soll ich dir sagen, wie gestern der Lichtboth himmlischer Freuden In die Schenke zu mir heimliche Kunde gebracht.

[4] O hochfliegender Falk! du wohnst auf dem Baume des Lebens, Dieser Winkel des Grams ziemet dir übel zum Nest.

[5] Horch! sie rufen auf dich herab von den Zinnen des Himmels, Wahrlich ich weiß nicht, was hier in dem Netze dich hält.

[6] Ich ertheile dir Rath, merk' ihn, und handle nach solchem, Denn ich habe das Wort selber vom Meister gelernt.

[7] Kümmere dich nicht um die Welt, und meine Lehren vergiß nicht; Diesen verliebten Scherz ließ mir ein Wandrer zurück.

[8] Gieb dich in das, was geschehn, enthülle die Stirne von Locken, Weder mir noch dir hat man gegeben die Wahl.

[9] Such' nicht Glauben und Treu' bei der Welt der leichtfertigen Dirne, Tausend Werber ja hat diese verrufene Braut.

[10] Weder Dauer noch Treu' bezeichnet das Lächeln der Rose Liebende Nachtigall klag'! Stoffes zu Klagen genug!

[11] Was beneidest du Hafisens strömende Verse? Wiß' es hat ihm ein Gott Anmuth der Rede verliehn.

German Translation

[1] اگر چه باده فرح بخش و باد گل‌بیز است
به بانگ چنگ مخور می که محتسب تیز است

[2] صراحی ای و حریفی گرت به چنگ افتد
به عقل نوش که ایام فتنه انگیز است

[3] در آستین مرقع پیاله پنهان کن
که همچو چشم صراحی زمانه خون‌ریز است

[4] به آب دیده بشوییم خرقه‌ها از می
که موسم ورع و روزگار پرهیز است

[5] مجوی عیش خوش از دور باژگون سپهر
که صاف این سر خم جمله دردی آمیز است

[6] سپهر برشده پرویزنیست خون افشان
که ریزه‌اش سر کسری و تاج پرویز است

[7] عراق و فارس گرفتی به شعر خوش حافظ
بیا که نوبت بغداد و وقت تبریز است

[1] Though wine love is joy exciting and the breeze the Murshid rose - en - slaving ,
Openly drink not wine of love to the sound of the harp the holy traveller's utterances of love's mysteries For hold the Muhtasib the law of Muhammad is .

[2] If to thy grasp fall a flagon ecstasy and rapture and a Companion the true Beloved
Drink with reason for the season ,fraught with calamity is .

[3] O holy Traveller Conceal the cup of thy existence in the sleeve of the tattered garment of the شرع
For ,like the wine - flagon's ruddy eye ,time is blood - shedding .

[5] From the revolution of the inverted sphere ,seek no sweet pleasure .
For all mixed with dregs the pure substance of this head of the wine jar is .

[6] The up - lifted sky Is it not the sieve blood - splattering ,
Whose scattering ,the head of Kisra .and the crown of Parviz is

[7] O Hafiz with thy sweet verse thou hast captivated 'Irak and Fars .
Come .For the turn of capture of Baghdad ,and the time of Tabriz is .

[1] Wie wohl der Wein die Herzen erfreut, Wie wohl der Wind die Rosen verstreut, So trink' doch nicht zum Lautengetön, Denn scharf ist der Wächter.

[2] Wenn eine Flasche oder ein Freund Von ungefähr zu Händen dir kommt, So trinke mäßig, und mit Verstand; Die Zeiten sind böse.

[3] In deinen Kuttenärmel hinein Versteckest du mit Sorgfalt das Glas, Sieh unsre Zeiten träufen von Blut, Wie das Auge der Flasche.

[4] Mit Thränen will ich waschen hinweg Aus meiner Kutte Flecken des Weins. Wir leben in der Mäßigkeit Zeit, In Tagen der Faste.

[5] Verlange von den Zeiten nicht Ruh', Und thu' Verzicht auf Güter der Welt, Der reinste Wein von diesem Gefäß Ist trübe wie Hefen.

[6] Der Weltlauf ist ein blutiger Stahl, Sieh nur als Tropfen fallen herab, Der Nuschirwane glänzendes Haupt, Die Kron' der Perwise.

[7] Mit deinen Liedern hast du Hafis Bisher erobert Fars und Irack, Tebris und Bagda harren nun dein, Die Reih' ist an ihnen.
