[1]  For God's sake come to my cry relief O pious ones murshids of the age forth from the hand of control goeth my heart in perturbation For God's sake come to my cry and aid me
O the pain that the hidden mystery of love should be disclosed .

[2]   We are boat - stranded ones O fair breeze the murshid or divine love arise
It may be that ,again ,we may behold the face of the Beloved God

[3]   For the short space of ten days ,the sphere's favour is magic and sorcery entrancing
O friend regard as booty ,goodness in friends companions ,disciples

[4]   Last night in the assembly of the rose and of wine the banquet of taste ,of desire ,of glories ,of splendour ,of love for God 'the bulbul murshid sweetly sang
O Saki give wine O intoxicated ones come to life

[5]   O generous one in thanks for thy own safety
One day ,make inquiry of the welfare of the foodless darvlsh .

[6]   The ease of two worlds this and the next is the explanation of these two words
With friends ,kindness with enemies ,courtesy .

[7]   In the street of good name outward rectitude they Fate and Destiny gave us no admission If thou approve not ,change our Fate .
That true wine of the love of God ,which is like to thee bitter wine ,which the

[8]   Sufi Muhammad called The mother of iniquities ,
To us ,is more pleasant and more sweet than the kisses of virgins .

[9]   In the time of straitedness ,strive in pleasure and in intoxication
For ,this elixir of existence maketh the beggar rich as Karun .

[10]   Be not arrogant for thee ,like a candle ,with wrath will consume ,
The Heart - Ravisher the true Beloved ,God in whose hand ,the hard stone is as soft wax .

[11]   The cup of wine the heart filled with recollection of God is Sikandar's mirror .Behold ,
So that it may show thee the state of Dara's kingdom the soul

[12]   Life - givers ,are the lovely ones ,Persian - prattling
O Saki this news ,give to the old men of Pars Persia

[13]   Of himself ,Hafiz put not on this patched ,wine - stained garment of poverty
O shaikh ,pure of skirt hold us excused .

[1]  Meiner Hand ist das Herz entflohen ihr Herzenbesitzer!Wehe! bey Gott! Weh mir! denn das Geheimniß ist weg!

[4]  Gestern tönte so schön von Wein und Rosen AodiBringet den Morgenwein, o ihr Betrunkenen her!

[5]  Gnädiger Herr! aus schuldigem Dank für blühenden WohlstandFraget doch eines Tags, wie es Derwischen ergeht.

[6]  Ruhe hienieden und dort verbürgen diese zwey Worte:Liebreich begegne dem Freund, Feinden begegne mit Gunst.

[7]  Mir ward Eintritt ins Land des guten Namens versaget.Tadler, gefällt es dir nicht, änd're das ewige Loos.

[8]  Dieser bittere Saft, dem Weisen die Mutter der LasterSchmeckt viel lieblicher mir als ein jungfräulicher Kuß:

[9]  In unfreundlicher Zeit genieß, und freu dich des Rausches!Dieser Alchymiker macht Bettler wie Karun beglückt.

[10]  Sträube dich nicht, sonst wirst du wie Kerzen in Gluthen verflammen,In der Geliebten Hand werden die Steine zu Wachs.

[11]  Schau in das Glas! es ist der Spiegel des griechischen Königs,Alle Plane Daro's wirst du erspähen darinn

[12]  Persische Schönen verleihn mit ihren Worten das Leben,Greisen und Frömmlingen gieb Schenke die Kunde davon!

[13]  Ach nicht mit Willen besudelt Hafis die Kleider mit Weinfleck.Frommer Lehrer verzeih! O du verzeihest es ihm.

[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]  One night ,our hand we shall uplift and a prayer we shall make .
For the grief of separation from Thee ,a remedy from some place we shall make .

[2]   Went from the hand ,the sick heart .O friends a little help ,
So that to its head ,the physician we may bring and a little remedy we may make .

[3]   He who ,without offence on my part grieved ; and ,me ,with the sword struck and departed
For God's sake ,him bring back ,that purity of heart reconciliation we may make .

[4]   Withered ,became the root of my joy .The Path to the tavern is where
So that in that water and air ,springing and growing ,we may make .

[5]   O heart aid from the heart of profligates seek if not ,
Difficult is the work .God forbid that a fault we should make .

[6]   But a little work effecteth the shade of the bud of little resolution the imperfect murshid
Search for the auspicious shade of the Huma the murshid ,perfect and excel ,lent we shall make .

[7]   From the note of melody went my heart .Hafiz ,sweet of tone ,is where
So that ,with his words and ghazals ,harmony and melody ,we may make .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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