[1]  O true Beloved the splendour of the moon - beauty the illusory beloved is from the illumined face of Thine
The lustre of beauteousness from the chin - dimple of Thine

[2]   My soul at the lip ready to depart in death desireth the sight of Thee
Back it goeth forth ,it cometh what order is Thine

[3]   By the revolution of Thy eye ,none obtained a portion of enjoyment
Best ,that they sell the veil of chastity to the intoxicated ones of Thine .

[4]   Our sleep - stained fortune will ,perchance ,become vigilant ,
On that account that a little water on its eye ,expressed that gleaming face of of Thine .

[5]   Along with the wind divine inspiration send from Thy cheek a handful of roses the viewing of God's glory
It may be that I may perceive a perfume of comfort from the dust of the rose garden of propinquity of Thine .

[6]   O Sakis of the banquet of Jam ,long be your life that is our desire .,
Although our cup be not full of wine at the circulation of the cup of yours .

[7]   O breeze messenger of desire from us ,to the dwellers of Yazd the people of God say
Be the head of those not recognising truths the dwellers of Shlraz the chaugan ball of yours .

[8]   From the plain of propinquity ,though we be far ,not far is desire
The slave of your King we are ,and the praise - utterer of yours

[9]   O King of Kings ,lofty of star for God's sake ,a blessing ,
That ,like the sky ,I may kiss the dust of the court of yours .

[10]   Hafiz uttereth a prayer .Listen say an amin
Be my daily food the lips sugar - scattering of Thine .

[1]  Der Mond der Schönheit borgt sein LichtVon deiner Wangen Strahlen,Der Glanz der Anmuth strahlet ausVon deines Kinnes Grübchen.

[2]  Des Sinnes dich zu schauen kamMein Geist auf meine Lippen,Soll er entfliehn? Soll er zurück?Was ist dein Herrscherwille?

[3]  Was nützet die EnthaltsamkeitDem, der dein Auge sah?Viel besser ists, die NüchternheitDem Trunknen nicht verkaufen.

[4]  Mein träges Glück, das lange schlief,Ist endlich aufgewachet,Der Schimmer deines AngesichtsHat ihm ins Aug' geblitzet.

[5]  Der Ostwind bring' mir einen StraußVom Rosenbusch der Wangen,Vielleicht wird mir dann sein GeruchVom Staube deines Gartens.

[6]  Ihr sollet leben, Euer WunschWerd' stets erfüllt ihr Schenken!Wiewohl mein Glas zu Eurer ZeitNicht einmal voll geworden.

[7]  Verwaiset ist mein Herz, o gebtHievon den Freunden Kunde!O Freunde! meine Seele istMit Euern Seelen Eines.

[8]  Kann mein versammeltes GemüthMit deines Haares Locken,Die ganz zerstreuet sind, o Gott!Sich je zusammen finden.

[9]  Gehst du vorbey, heb' auf den SaumVom Blute und vom Staube,Denn viele deiner Opfer sindAuf diesem Weg gefallen.

[10]  O Morgenwind zieh hin nach JesdSag denen, die dort wohnen,Der Kopf deß, der nicht dankbar istSey Eurer Ballen Schlägel.

[11]  Zwar bin ich weit von Euch entfernt,Doch ist mein Geist nicht ferne,Ich bin der Diener Eures SchahsUnd Euer Loberedner.

[12]  Ich habe Muth, ich fleh bey Gott!O höchster Schah der Schahe!Ich küß die Erde deines ZeltsWie das Gewölb des Himmels.

[13]  Horcht auf! es betet nun Hafis.Sagt Amen, denn er betet.Herr! gieb uns unser täglich BrodVom Zucker ihrer Lippen.

[1]  Ho O parrot murshid thou that art the utterer of the mysteries of God
Void of sugar of the mysteries of God thy beak mouth be not .

[2]   Ever be thy head fresh ,and thy heart happy
For of the line of mysteries of the true Beloved ,a happy picture ,thou displayedest .

[3]   With the rivals the Arifs thou utteredest speech head - closed veiled
For God's sake ,uplift the veil of the enigma of the head - closed speech

[4]   O Saki On our faces ,a cup of divine truths of rose - water dash
For ,we are sleep - stained ,and wakeful of fortune .

[5]   In musical note ,what path is this that the minstrel struck ,
That ,together ,the insensible and the sensible dance

[6]   From this opium mystery that the Saki the murshid casteth into wine
To the rivals the Arifs remaineth neither head nor turban so intoxicated on hearing it are they

[7]   To the great Sikandar ,they give not that water - of - life
Attainable neither by force nor by gold without God's grace is this matter .

[8]   Come and hear the state of the people of pain
In word ,little in meaning ,much .

[9]   The enemy of our religion ,became the idol of Chin
O Lord my heart and faith ,keep .

[10]   To those veiled the illusory beloved ones utter not the mysteries of intoxication truths
From the lifeless ,senseless wall - picture ,ask not the tale of life .

[11]   In the fortune of the standard of Mansur Shah ,
In the ranks of verse ,Hafiz the standard became .

[12]   Towards us slaves ,he our praised one did the work of a Lord
O Lord him preserve from calamity .

[1]  Immer sey der Verstand die baare Münze des Lebens,Gilt er doch nichts beim Golde der Liebe.

[2]  Ha! o Papagey, der von der Liebe Geheimnissen schwätzet,Nie fehl's deinem Schnabel an Zucker!

[3]  Immer grüne dein Haupt, und immer sey fröhlichen Herzens,Bist mir ein Bild von den Flaumen des Freundes.

[4]  Ein verborgenes Wort hast du zu den Freunden gesprochen,Gott! heb' auf vom Räthsel den Schleier!

[5]  Günstiges Glück! bespreng' mich mit Rosenwasser vom Becher,Denn mein Auge ist beflecket vom Schlafe.

[6]  Welchen Ton hat der Sänger zu seiner Weise gewählet,Daß die Trunknen und Nüchternen tanzen!

[7]  Siehe die Wirkung des Moschus, den der Schenk' in den Wein hat geworfen,Kopf und Dulbend geh'n beide verlohren.

[8]  Alexandern ward nicht verlieh'n das Wasser des Lebens,Gold und Gewalt erzwingen nicht solches.

[9]  Komm' und höre mir an der Betrübten traurige Lage,Worte sind wenig, und viel ist der Inhalt.

[10]  Sina's Götzenbilder, sie sind die Feinde des Glaubens,Herr! bewahre mein Herz und den Glauben.

[11]  Nüchtern sag' und erzähle du nie das Geheimniß des Rausches,Seelenkunde frag' nicht von den Gemälden.

[12]  In den Reichen der Dichtkunst weht Hafis als die FahneDurch des Schahes schützende Gnade.

[1]  O true Beloved by the door enter ; and our chamber luminous > make
The air of the assembly of souls perfumed make .

[2]   If a Faklh advise saying Love practise not ,
Him ,the cup of the wine of unity give say : Thy brain ,fresh make .

[3]   O true Beloved to the eye and the eye - brow of the illusory beloved ,heart and soul ,I have entrusted
Come ,come and with the glance of blessing viewing of the arch the eye - brow and of the spectacle - place the eye make .

[4]   Light scattereth not the star of the dark night of separation the illusory be - loved
To the palace - roof the existence of Hafiz come and the lamp of the moon the beauty of the true Beloved uplifted^ make .

[5]   To the treasurer of Jannat ,speak ,saying : The dust of this assembly ,
As a present to Firdaus take and it the aloe - fuel of the censer make .

[6]   From this one associated with me the wife and the khirka much in strait I am
With a glance Sufi - slaying ,me Kalandar make .

[7]   Since beneath Thy hand are the lovely ones the flowers of the sward ,
At the jessamine ,the glance and towards the cone - tree ,grace make .

[8]   O Saki Murshid excess of many a tale ,the spirit maketh
From the hand ,thy own work the explanation of truths to holy travellers give not ; wine the delight that surgeth in the traveller's heart into the cup put .

[9]   The splendour - rays of beauty of illusory love the veil of the eye of understanding ,became
Come the sun's pavilion the elemental body effulgent make .

[10]   Not our limit ,is desire for the cash of union with Thee
With that ruby lip like sugar ,me a kiss give .

[11]   The lip of the cup ,kiss subtleties of divine knowledge ,acquire then to the intoxicated holy travellers give
With this subtlety ,wisdom's train ,beperfumed make .

[12]   After the service of pleasure and of love ,of those moon of face ,
Of deeds that thou doest ,the verse of Hafiz exalted make .

[1]  Herein zur Thür! Erleuchte nächtliches Dunkel, Durchwürz' die Luft Des Kreises geistiger Männer.

[2]  Räth dir der Mönch Nicht Liebesspiele zu spielen, Reich' ihm das Glas, Befeucht' damit sein Gehirne. Mit deiner Huld, Mit deiner lieblichen Tugend Heb' wie die Kerz' Empor das Haupt in Gesellschaft.

[3]  Dem Geist das Herz Empfehl' ich Augen und Brauen, O komm', o komm', Und schaue die Aussicht, den Bogen.

[4]  Der Stern der Nacht Der Trennung sendet nicht Strahlen. Steig' auf das Dach, Zünd' an die Leuchte des Mondes.

[5]  Bring' einen Staub Von uns edenisches Lüftchen Ins Paradies Und würz' die Düfte desselben.

[6]  Die Kutte setzt Mich in nicht kleine Verwirrung. Mach' mich zum Mönch Mit einem schmeichelnden Blicke.

[7]  Es weichen dir An Reiz die Schönen der Fluren, Drum sprich mit Huld, Jasminen, Pinien an.

[8]  Der Schenke spricht Viel überflüssige Dinge, Dich kümmr' es nicht, Du füll' den Becher mit Wein an.

[9]  Der Schönheit Schein, Verhüllt das Licht des Verstandes, O komm'! erleucht' Damit die Fackel der Sonne.

[10]  Uns ziemt es nicht, Nach dem Genusse zu geizen, Du weise uns An zuckersüße Rubinen.

[11]  Du küß das Glas Und giebs den Trunkenen über, Mit diesem Wort Durchwürz' den Duft des Verstandes.

[12]  Nachdem du viel Mit Mondgesichtern geliebelt, Präg' deinem Sinn Hafisens Lieder mit Fleiß ein.

[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
