[1]  Saki murshid with the light of wine divine love up - kindle the cup of the heart of ours .
Minstrel murshid speak ,saying The world's work hath gone agreeably to the desire of' ours .

[2]   In the cup of the heart we have beheld the reflection of the face of the Beloved God
O thou void of knowledge of the joy of the perpetual wine - drinking of ours .

[3]   Never dieth that one ,whose heart is alive with true love to God
On the world's record ,is written the everlasting existence of ours .

[4]   The coy glance and the grace of those straight of stature illusory beloved ones is only till
With grace ,moving like a lofty pine - tree ,cometh the cypress the true Beloved of ours .

[5]   O breeze if thou pass by the rose - bed of beloved ones ,
Take care present to the beloved the murshid the message of ours .

[6]   O breeze from thy memory ,our name why purposely takest thou
Itself forgetfulness cometh ,when after death cometh no recollection of ours .

[7]   To the eye of our heart - binding beloved the murshid pleasing is intoxication
For that reason ,to intoxication they Fate and Destiny have given the rein of ours .

[8]   On the day of up - rising the resurrection I fear ,a profit taketh not .
The lawful bread piety of the shaikh ,more than the unlawful water wine of love of ours .

[9]   Hafiz from thy eye ,keep shedding a tear - drop
It may be ,that the bird of union may attempt the snare of ours .

[10]   The green blue sea of sky ,and the bark of the new moon the mysteries of the sphere
Are immersed'in the favour of Haji Kivam the murshid of ours .

[11]   Like the tulip ,in the cold air of love my heart was caught contracted
O bird of fortune Beloved of the soul when wilt thou go into the snare drawings of love of ours

[1]  Schenk! erleucht' mit dem Licht des Weins den Becher,Sänger singe; nun geht's nach unsern Wünschen.

[2]  Ich erblick im Pokal der Wangen Abglanz.Wiß es, der du nichts weißt vom Glück des Trinkens.

[3]  Wessen Zunge die Lieb' beseelet, stirbt nicht.Ewig bleibet mein Ruhm im Weltenbuche.

[4]  Dieser Schmächtigen Reiz gefällt so lang nur,Bis sich meine Cypreß mit Schwanken nahet.

[5]  Ostwind, gehst du vorbei beim Rosenhaine,Gieb doch Kunde von mir dem treuen Freunde.

[7]  Rausch und Trunkenheit ziemt dem Aug des Freundes;Deßhalb raubt mir der Rausch so Zaum als Zügel.

[8]  Ich befürchte, daß nicht am jüngsten TagePriesterbrod und der Wein von gleichem Werth sey.

[9]  O mein Auge verstreu' das Korn der Thränen,Daß sich fange im Netz der Wollust Vogel.

[10]  Du Aetherische Fluth, und du o Mondschiff,Ihr verschwindet zugleich in seiner Großmuth.

[1]  O beloved display thy face and my existence from my mind take
And the harvest of those consumed ,lovers say O wind all take .

[2]   When to the deluge of calamity ,we gave our heart and eye ,
Say : Come grief's torrent ,and up ,from its foundation ,our house take .

[3]   His tress ,like pure ambergris ,who may smell Alas
O heart raw of greed ,from thy memory this matter of smelling His tress take .

[4]   Tell the heart By thy own great fire slay quench the flame of the great fire - temple of Fars
Tell the eye : By thy great weeping lustre from the face of the mighty Tigris of Baghdad take .

[5]   Be the fortune wherein is no decline of the Fir of the Magians ,because the travelling of the rest is easy .
If another go say Go and out from thy memory for easy is this our name ,take .

[6]   In this path of divine knowledge effort not borne ,thou reachest not to place of rank
If thou seek the reward ,the service of the teacher the murshid take .

[7]   On the day of my death ,give me ,one moment ,the promise of seeing Thee
Then to the tomb me ,free and independent ,take .

[8]   Last night ,He the Beloved said With my long dark eye - lashes ,I will slay thee
O Lord from His heart ,the thought of injustice take .

[9]   Hafiz think of the delicacy of the true Beloved's heart
From His court ,go and this thy wailing and lamenting ,take .

[1]  Zeig' das Gesicht, damit ichMeines Daseyns vergesse,Streu' in den Wind die SpreuVerbrannter Herzen, trage sie fort.

[2]  Augen und Herz hab' ich derFluth des Elend's geweihet,Sage zum Strom' des Grams:Zerstör' mein Wesen, trage es fort.

[3]  Ha! wer vermag den MoschusSeiner Locken zu riechen,Diese Begier, mein Herz,Must du verbannen, trage sie fort.

[4]  Sage der Brust: entflamme denHeuchler, unseren Mobed,Sage dem Aug': verschling'Des Tygers Fluthen, trage sie fort.

[5]  Lebe der Wirth! und leicht istAlles Uebrige sonsten,Andere giebt es nochAus dem Gedächtniß, trag' mich nicht fort.

[6]  Ohne Bemüh'n wird's dir aufDiesem Weg nicht gelingen,Willst du den Lohn, gehorch'Zuerst dem Meister, trag' ihn dann fort.

[7]  Gieb mir das Wort, an meinemSterbetag mich zu besuchen,Und du befreyest michHinfort von Leiden, tragest sie fort.

[8]  Gestern noch sprach er: ich willMorden dich mit den Wimpern,Blutiger Sinn, entfleuchAus seinem Herzen, trage dich fort!

[9]  Denke Hafis! des FreundesZartes weiches Gemüthe,Geh', und entferne von ihmDie Klagetöne, trage sie fort.

[1]  O beloved salt rights with thy lip ,hath my wounded heart
The salt right ,preserve for I depart ,and thee to God entrust .

[2]   O true Beloved that pure jewel Thou art that ,in the holy world ,
The mention of Thee for good is the outcome of the angel's praise .

[3]   O beloved if as to my sincerity doubt be thine ,trial make
Like the touch - stone ,none recogniseth the proof of pure gold .

[4]   O true Beloved Thou spakest saying Intoxicated ,I become and will give thee two kisses
Beyond limit ,passed the covenant but neither two kisses nor one kiss have we seen .

[5]   Thy small laughing pistachio mouth open ,sugar - scattering speech make
In doubt of Thy having a mouth ,cast not the people .

[6]   The sphere ,I will dash together and destroy unless to my desire it come
Not that one am I ,to endure contempt from the sky's sphere .

[7]   Since ,access to Hafiz thou allowest him not ,
O watcher Shaitan from him ,one or two paces farther go and his society ,abandon

[1]  Mein wundes Herz hat Recht auf SalzVon deinen Lippen,Bewahr' das Recht, ich gehe fort,Sey Gott befohlen.

[2]  Du bist ein reines Wesen mirAus höhern Welten,Mit deinem Namen fängt das LobDer Engel an im Himmel.

[3]  O prüfe meine Redlichkeit,Wenn du d'ran zweifelst,Das reine Gold wird nur bewährtAuf der Kapelle.

[4]  Du sprachst: ich will Betrunk'ner dirZwey Küsse geben,Die Zeit ist da; doch giebst du mir,Nicht zwey, noch einen.

[5]  Schließ' deines Mundes Kästchen auf,Und streue Zucker,Laß nicht das Volk im Zweifel obDu einen habest.

[6]  Des Himmels Rad zerschlag' ich, wenn'sNicht gut sich drehet,Ich bin von denen nicht, die sichDrüber härmen.

[7]  Wenn du nicht willst, daß zu HafisDas Liebchen komme!O Nebenbuhler so entferneDich ein Paar Schritte.

[1]  A hundred times ,before the dust of Thy foot ,our face we have placed ,
Hypocrisy and dissimulation ,aside we have placed .

[2]   The arch and the corridor of the College ,and the disputation of excellence ,
So that they may go to the wind of destruction in the path of ease and of the true Beloved ,rose of face ,we have placed .

[3]   To those two narcissi of the sorcerer ,our life we have entrusted
In those two Hindu hyacinths black tresses also our heart we have placed .

[4]   Passed hath a long life ,and in hopefulness of a glance ,
On those two narcissi of sorcery ,an eye of hope we have placed .

[5]   Not with the army ,have we taken the country of ease
Not with the powerful arm ,the throne of sovereignty is it that we have placed .

[6]   Let us see what sport the sorcery of the Friend's eye maketh ,for ,again ,
On the glance of sorcery ,our foundation of life ' we have placed .

[7]   Without the grace of His narcissus ,our head of distraughtness from wine of love
Like the dark ,mourning violet ,on the knee we have placed .

[8]   In hope's corner ,like eager spectators of the new moon ,
On that curve of the eye - brow ,hope's eye we have placed .

[9]   Thou spakest saying O Hafiz thy distraught heart is where
In the meshes of that curl of the tress ,it we have placed .

[10]   The fame of so many years generations of ancestors ,good of name ,
So that they may go to the wind of destruction in' the path of the cup and of the Saki of love ,we have placed .

[11]   Sensible and learned ,are we for ,with heart ,on the hand and the foot ,
The chain and the bond of that tress - curl ,we have placed .

[12]   Hafiz for love ,strive .For the cash of wisdom and of sense outward knowledge
For the sake of the true Beloved of chain - tress ,aside we have placed .

[13]   A glance ,make .For our two expectant eyes ,
Ever on the two corners of Thy eye - brow ,we have placed .

[1]  Wir haben hundertmal das Angesicht Vor dir in Staub geleget, Wir haben allen Trug und Gleisnerey Vor dir beiseit geleget. Den guten Namen von so manchem Jahr, Und selbst von unsern Ahnen, Wir haben ihn des Schenken Mondgesicht Zu Liebe weggeleget.

[2]  Der hohen Schule Säulengang und Saal Und allen Streit von Tugend, Wir haben Alles auf den Liebesstand Der Schönen hingeleget. Wir legten keine allzugroße Last Auf unser Herz, das schwach ist. Wir haben, was wir treiben, was wir thun, Nie auf ein Haar geleget.

[3]  Wir haben diesen zwey Narzissen längst Empfohlen unsre Seele, Wir haben auf die süßen Zaubereien Der Liebe Grund geleget.

[5]  Wir haben nicht mit unserm eignen Heer Des Feindes Reich erobert, Und unsrer Herrschaft Krone haben wir Nicht selber abgeleget.

[7]  Wir haben unser ungeliebtes Haupt Erfüllet von Begierde, Und liebberauschet wie Narzissen hin Auf's Knie zur Ruh geleget. Hafis! bemühe Dich um Freund' und Sang, Denn des Verstandes Summe Ist alle auf das schöne lange Haar Des Freundes angeleget.

[8]  Wir haben in der Hoffnung letzten Eck, Gleich Sehern nach dem Monde, Des Wunsches Sehrohr auf den Brückenbau Der Brauen angeleget.

[9]  Du sagtest: O Hafis! wo ist dein Herz, Das sich so sehr empöret? Wir haben's sorgsam in die Ringelein Von jenem Haar geleget.

[1]  O Lord that musky fragrant deer my beloved back to Khutan safely cause to reach
And back to the sward that straight ,moving ,cypress ,cause to reach .

[2]   With a breeze of kindness our withered fortune ,cherish
That is that soul the beloved gone from the body ,back to the body cause to reach .

[3]   Since ,by Thy order ,the moon and the sun reach to their stage ,
Back to me also ,my beloved ,moon of face ,cause to reach .

[4]   In search of the ruby of Yaman ,blood became our eyes ;
O Lord back to Yaman ,that gleaming constellation cause to reach .

[5]   O auspicious bird ,auspicious of mien the murshid go
Before the inaccessible Anka the true Beloved the word message of the crow and of the kite disciples back cause to reach .

[6]   The word message to the beloved is this Without thee ,life we desire not ;
O foot - messenger ,news - taker back the word the message cause to reach .

[7]   O Lord that one the beloved whose native land had been the eye of Hafiz ,
Her ,with desire fulfilled back from wandering to her native land cause to reach .

[1]  Bring', o Herr, den Moschushirschen Nach Choten zurück! Bringe diese hohe Ceder Auf die Flur zurück.

[2]  Lindre mein verderbtes Schicksal Nur mit einem Hauch, Bringe die entfloh'ne Seele Zu dem Leib zurück!

[3]  Gott! der Mond, die Sonne kommen Auf dein Wort zurück, Bring' daher, mein Mondgesichtchen Wieder mir zurück.

[4]  Aus Begier nach den Rubinen Sind die Augen Blut, Herr, o bring' das Glücksgestirn Glänzend uns zurück!

[5]  Fliege, fliege, guter Vogel, Aus dem Paradies, Bring' der Raben und der Krähen Worte zum Anka!

[6]  Ohne dich mag ich nicht leben, Dieses ist mein Wort, Hör' auf meine Worte, Bothe, Bothschaft bring' zurück!

[7]  Bring' der Freundinn, die zur Heimath Meine Augen hat, Aus der Fremde wieder in ihr Vaterland zurück.

[1]  From me ,the beggar ,to kings ,who taketh a message ,
Saying : In the street of the wine - sellers ,they sell two thousand mighty Jamshids for a single cup of wine .

[2]   Ruined and ill of fame ,I have become yet ,hope I have
That ,by the blessing of dear ones those of good name I may escape from ill - fame and reach to good - fame .

[3]   Thou that sellest alchemy ,at our impure gold heart cast a glance of alchemy
For ,a great capital in trade we have not and a snare to captivate the true murshid we have cast .

[4]   At the fidelity of the Beloved ,wonder that He made not an inquiry ,
Neither by the reed ,a salutation nor by letter ,a message .

[5]   If this wine be immature ,and this companion matured ,
By a thousand times ,than a thousand matured ones better is an immature one .

[6]   O Shaikh by the beads of the rosary ,I beseech thee cast me not from the Path ;
For ,when once the wise bird falleth ,he falleth not again into any snare .

[7]   Desire for Thy service ,I have ; in kindness ,me ,purchase and sell not ;
For ,into good fortune ,seldom falleth ,like me the slave a slave .

[8]   My plaint ,I take to where This tale ,I utter to whom
For thy lip was our life and ,Thou hadst not even a little permanency .

[9]   O true Beloved the arrow of Thy eye - lash ,loose and the blood of Hafiz ,spill
For ,in respect of such a slayer ,none maketh even a little revenge .

[1]  Wer bringt dem Schah von mir dem Bettler Kunde? Zweitausend Dscheme geh'n bei uns auf ein Glas Wein.

[2]  Wiewohl ich Hab' und Ruf verlor nähr' ich noch Hoffnung, Durch meiner Freunde Hülf' zu gutem Ruf' zu kommen.

[3]  Schau auf mein Herz, o du, der mit Chemie dich prahlest, Von Kapital entblöst hab' ich das Netz gespannt.

[4]  Es wundert mich gar sehr von des Geliebten Treue, Daß er sich nicht erkundigte durch Brief' und Grüße.

[5]  Bei ungegohrnem Wein, und ganz durchgohrnem Freunde Ist jener lieber mir um tausendmal als dieser.

[6]  O lock' mich Scheich nicht mit Betkorallen, Ein schlauer Vogel wird nicht in das Netz gelocket. Ihr Tugendhaften geht, denn weg ist meine Tugend, Ich schlürfte lautern Wein, verlor den guten Namen.

[7]  Ich sehne mich nach deinem Dienst; verkauf' mich nicht, Denn nimmer findest du so einen treuen Diener.

[8]  Wem soll ich klagen, wem soll dieses ich erzählen? Mein Leben ist der Mund, doch ist es ohne Dauer.

[9]  O mach' die Wimpern auf, vergieß das Blut Hafisens! An solchen Mördern hat noch Niemand sich gerächet.

[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 .
