German Translation

[1] چون شوم خاک رهش دامن بیفشاند ز من
ور بگویم دل بگردان رو بگرداند ز من

[2] روی رنگین را به هر کس می‌نماید همچو گل
ور بگویم بازپوشان بازپوشاند ز من

[3] چشم خود را گفتم آخر یک نظر سیرش ببین
گفت می‌خواهی مگر تا جوی خون راند ز من

[4] او به خونم تشنه و من بر لبش تا چون شود
کام بستانم از او یا داد بستاند ز من

[5] گر چو فرهادم به تلخی جان برآید باک نیست
بس حکایت‌های شیرین باز می‌ماند ز من

[6] گر چو شمعش پیش میرم بر غمم خندان شود
ور برنجم خاطر نازک برنجاند ز من

[7] دوستان جان داده‌ام بهر دهانش بنگرید
کو به چیزی مختصر چون باز می‌ماند ز من

[8] صبر کن حافظ که گر زین دست باشد درس غم
عشق در هر گوشه‌ای افسانه‌ای خواند ز من

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[1] بشری اذ السلامه حلت بذی سلم
لله حمد معترف غایه النعم

[2] آن خوش خبر کجاست که این فتح مژده داد
تا جان فشانمش چو زر و سیم در قدم

[3] از بازگشت شاه در این طرفه منزل است
آهنگ خصم او به سراپرده عدم

[4] پیمان شکن هرآینه گردد شکسته حال
ان العهود عند ملیک النهی ذمم

[5] می‌جست از سحاب امل رحمتی ولی
جز دیده‌اش معاینه بیرون نداد نم

[6] در نیل غم فتاد سپهرش به طنز گفت
ان قد ندمت و ما ینفع الندم

[7] ساقی چو یار مه رخ و از اهل راز بود
حافظ بخورد باده و شیخ و فقیه هم

[1] Glad tidings to the abode of Zu - Salam ,suddenly descended safety from calamity
To God praise ,the praise of the confessor of the greatest blessing

[2] That bringer of happy news ,who brought the glad tidings of victory ,is where
So that in joy my soul which is dearer than gold and silver I may scatter on his foot like gold and silver .

[3] From the King's turning back ,what a rare picture established
His enemy's resolution in the mansion of non - existence

[4] Verily ,shattered of heart becometh the covenant - breaker
In the opinion of the Lords of wisdom ,sacred charges are covenants .

[5] From hope's cloudlet ,he sought a blessing .But ,
To his seeing eye ,it gave naught save moisture .

[6] Into the dark Nil of grief ,he the covenant - breaker fell to him ,in reproach the sky said
Verily ,now ,repentant ,thou hast become ; and profit from repentance ,thou gainest not .

[7] Saki come ,for it is the season of the rose ,and the time of pleasure :
The cup ,bring and suffer no grief ,more or less .

[8] From the cup of wine ,hear .For this old woman ,newly married the world
Many a husband ,like Kay Kubad and Jamshid ,slew .

[9] O heart seek not thou the kingdom of Jamshid seek the cup of wine
For this was the song of the bulbul ,garden - singer ,of Jamshid .

[10] When ,like the red flagon ,the enemy's red blood ,thou spilledest ,
With friends ,in ease and joy ,take the cup of Jamshid .

[11] In the tavern - corner ,hath Hafiz his place of ease ,
Like the bird in the garden and like the lion in the forest .

[1] Komm' o Schenke jetzt sind die Tage der Rosenzeit,Jetzt sind die Tage der Freude.Bring' den Becher heraus, weiters bekümmreDich ums minder und mehr nicht.

[2] Frohe Kunde, das Heil ist nun gegönnt mit RechtDen Bewohnern von SalemWer die mächtige Huld dankbar erkennt und schätztLobt und preiset den Herren.

[3] Wo? o wo ist der Both', welcher hievon heut unsFreudenkunde gegeben?Daß statt Silber und Gold hin auf die Erde ichStreuen möge die Seele.

[4] Welche schönre Gestalt nehmen die Dinge nunDa der Kaiser zurückkehrt.Was der Feind durch Betrug Arges geschmiedet hat,Ist zu Wasser geworden.

[5] Wer Verträge zerstört wird vom gerechten Loos,Scharf gezüchtiget werden.Von Vernünftigen ward Bund und Vertrag von jeHoch und heilig gehalten.

[6] Freilich hatte der Feind auf der ErbarmungenWolken Hoffnung gegründet,Aber ausser der Fluth, welche den Augen entströmt,Hat er keine gesehen.

[1] ز دست کوته خود زیر بارم
که از بالابلندان شرمسارم

[2] مگر زنجیر مویی گیردم دست
وگر نه سر به شیدایی برآرم

[3] ز چشم من بپرس اوضاع گردون
که شب تا روز اختر می‌شمارم

[4] بدین شکرانه می‌بوسم لب جام
که کرد آگه ز راز روزگارم

[5] اگر گفتم دعای می فروشان
چه باشد حق نعمت می‌گزارم

[6] من از بازوی خود دارم بسی شکر
که زور مردم آزاری ندارم

[7] سری دارم چو حافظ مست لیکن
به لطف آن سری امیدوارم

[1] Through my short feeble arm ,beneath grief's load ,am I
For ,of those of lofty stature ashamed ,am I .

[2] Perchance ,my hand ,the chain of the hair of Thy tress will take
If not ,in distraughtness ,my head I bring forth .

[3] Of my sleepless eye ,ask the plane of the spheres ,
For ,night to day ,the stars ,I count .

[4] Thankfully ,the cup of the lip ,I kiss for this ,
That ,me ,it acquainted with time's mystery .

[5] If ,for the wine - sellers ,a prayer I uttered ,
What is it the duty of favour ,I offer .

[6] Thanks many ,I owe to my feeble arm
In that the strength of the man - in jurer ,I have not .

[7] A head like intoxicated Hafiz ,I have But ,
Hope ,in the grace of that chief I have .

[8] At me ,for drinking my own blood through affliction in this plain ,carp not
For ,the pupil of the deer the lovely one of the Tatar ,I am .

[9] From love's wine - house ,what strong ,bitter ,wine I drank ,
That ,neither sensibleness nor wakefulness ,have I .

[1] Du hebst mich nicht auf vom Staube,Wenn ich auch blos Perlen weinte.Schmähe nicht auf meinen BlutdurstDenn ich lehre Moschushirschen.

[2] Unter meiner Armuth seufz' ich,Schäme mich vor den Gewalt'gen

[3] Haltet mich in Lockenbanden,Sonst ergreifet mich die Narrheit.

[4] Frag' mich um den Lauf der WeltenIn der Nacht zähl' ich die Sterne,

[5] Dankbar küße ich den BecherDenn er lehrte mich mein Schicksal.

[6] Wenn ich die Betrunknen lobe,Ist's aus dankbarem Gemüthe,

[7] Dankbar bin ich meinem Arme,Der kein Unrecht ausgeübet,

[1] ای هدهد صبا به سبا می‌فرستمت
بنگر که از کجا به کجا می‌فرستمت

[2] حیف است طایری چو تو در خاکدان غم
زین جا به آشیان وفا می‌فرستمت

[3] در راه عشق مرحله قرب و بعد نیست
می‌بینمت عیان و دعا می‌فرستمت

[4] هر صبح و شام قافله‌ای از دعای خیر
در صحبت شمال و صبا می‌فرستمت

[5] تا لشکر غمت نکند ملک دل خراب
جان عزیز خود به نوا می‌فرستمت

[6] ای غایب از نظر که شدی همنشین دل

[7] در روی خود تفرج صنع خدای کن
کآیینهٔ خدای نما می‌فرستمت

[8] تا مطربان ز شوق منت آگهی دهند
قول و غزل به ساز و نوا می‌فرستمت

[9] ساقی بیا که هاتف غیبم به مژده گفت
با درد صبر کن که دوا می‌فرستمت

[1] O lapwing of the east wind the Murshid to Saba the land of the true Be - loved I send thee
Behold from where the dense ,impure ,world to where the light ,pure ,world I send thee

[2] Alas a glorious bird like thee in the dust - heap of grief
Hence to the nest of fidelity the land of the true Beloved I send thee .

[3] In love's Path ,is no stage of nearness or of farness :
Hence ,true Beloved I clearly see Thee and prayer ,I send Thee .

[4] Every morning and evening ,the Kafila of prayer for Thy welfare ,
In company with the cool north and the east wind ,I send Thee .

[5] So long as grief's army ruineth not the heart's country ,
Words and odes of mine with melody and modulation ,I send thee .

[6] O .Fellow - sitter of my heart Thou that becomest hidden from sight ,
Prayer ,I utter for Thee praise ,I send Thee .

[7] The creation of God ,behold with joy in thy own face the mirror ,God displaying
For since thou art careless of the Creator the mirror ,God - displaying ,I send Thee .

[9] Saki come for the invisible messenger uttered to me glad tidings ,
In pain ,exercise patience for the remedy of union with the true Beloved I send Thee .

[10] Hafiz the song of our assembly is the mention of thy welfare
Make haste come quickly A horse and a coat ,I send Thee .

[1] Morgenwind, o Hudhud! nach Saba will ich dich schicken Siehe woher und wohin wir dich schicken!

[1] دمی با غم به سر بردن جهان یک سر نمی‌ارزد
به می بفروش دلق ما کز این بهتر نمی‌ارزد

[2] به کوی می فروشانش به جامی بر نمی‌گیرند
زهی سجاده تقوا که یک ساغر نمی‌ارزد

[3] رقیبم سرزنش‌ها کرد کز این باب رخ برتاب
چه افتاد این سر ما را که خاک در نمی‌ارزد

[4] شکوه تاج سلطانی که بیم جان در او درج است
کلاهی دلکش است اما به ترک سر نمی‌ارزد

[5] چه آسان می‌نمود اول غم دریا به بوی سود
غلط کردم که این طوفان به صد گوهر نمی‌ارزد

[6] تو را آن به که روی خود ز مشتاقان بپوشانی
که شادی جهان گیری غم لشکر نمی‌ارزد

[7] چو حافظ در قناعت کوش و از دنیی دون بگذر
که یک جو منت دونان دو صد من زر نمی‌ارزد

[1] A world altogether ,to pass life a single moment in grief is not worth
For wine ,sell our ragged religious garment for more than this it is not worth .

[2] In the wine - seller's street ,for a single cup of wine ,they take it the prayer mat of piety not up
O excellent prayer - mat of piety ,that ,a single cup of wine is not worth .

[3] The watcher reproached me saying : Turn away thy face from this door of the true Beloved
To this our head ,what happened that even the dust of the door ,it is not worth .

[4] The pomp of the imperial crown ,in whose grandeur is fear of life ,
Is verily a heart - alluring crown but the abandoning of one's head life it is not worth .

[5] At first ,in hope of profit ,very easy the toil of the sea appeared
I uttered a mistake .Because ,a hundred jewels hopes of union with the true Beloved this great deluge full of dangers is not worth .

[6] For thee ,that best that from the desirous ones thou cover thy face ,
Because ,the grief of an army ,the joyousness of world - seizing is not worth .

[7] Like Hafiz ,strive in contentment and let go the mean world
Because two hundred mans of gold ,one grain of the favour of the mean is not worth .

[1] Verliere keine Zeit mit Gram, Im Ganzen ist die Welt nichts werth, Verkauf das Ordenskleid um Wein, Es ist ja sonsten zu nichts werth. Des Freundes Land sey mir geehrt, Weil es die Männer schützt und schirmt, Wenn nicht, was nützt mir Farsistan, Es ist so vieler Müh' nicht werth.

[2] Man giebt nicht einen Becher Wein Für meinen Teppich in der Schenke, Was für ein Teppich! seh't, er ist Nicht einen Becher Weines werth. Du wasche deine Aengstlichkeit Vom Ordenskleide reinlich aus, Denn alle Kuttenflecken sind Kein Glas von rothem Weine werth.

[4] Die Königskron', die von der Höh' Des Scheitels Seelen Furcht einflößt, Ist zwar ein schöner Kopfschmuck', doch Nicht den Verlust des Hauptes werth.

[5] Wie leicht scheint anfangs nicht die Fluth Des Meeres, aus Hoffnung des Gewinnes! Doch weit gefehlt! denn diese Fluth Ist nicht zehntausend Perlen werth.

[6] Weit beßer ist es, wenn du dein Gesicht den Liebenden verbirgst, Denn die Erobrung einer Welt Ist nicht der Müh des Krieges werth.

[7] Sey, wie Hafis, genügsam, thu' Wie er auf diese Welt Verzicht, Ein Gran von Niederträchtigkeit Ist nicht zweyhundert Tonnen werth.

[1] در عهد پادشاه خطابخش جرم پوش
حافظ قرابه کش شد و مفتی پیاله نوش

[2] صوفی ز کنج صومعه با پای خم نشست
تا دید محتسب که سبو می‌کشد به دوش

[1] In the age of the king ,fault - forgiving ,crime - covering ,
Flagon - drinker ,became Hafiz and cup - drinker ,the mufti .

[2] Forth from the cloister - corner ,the Sufi sate drinking at the wine - jar's foot ,
Since he beheld the muhtasib a wine - pitcher on his shoulder bear .

[3] The state of the shaikh ,and of the kazi and of their jew secret drinking ,
I asked ,in the morning ,of the Pir ,the wine - seller .

[4] He said Unfit to be uttered is the matter though thou art a confidant
From slander thy tongue indraw the screen of high and of low preserve and wine of love drink .

[5] Saki spring arriveth and means of wine drinking is none
On getting means a thought make .For ,from grief of want of means of wine - drinking into tumult hath come my heart's blood .

[6] Love and poverty ,and youth ,and the new spring ,all this is
My excuse .It ,accept and ,in mercy's trail ,the crime conceal .

[7] Like the burning candle ,tongue extending in clamour how long makest thou
O friend the moth of thy desire hath arrived .Silence

[8] O King ,in form and in truth like thee ,
No eye hath seen no ear hath heard .

[9] Remain ,until the khirk a of hypocrisy ,accepteth
Thy youthful fortune from the old ,tattered garment - wearing sky .

[10] Hafiz from this inconstant sphere ,I sought my purpose
It said To the wine - house ,go and the cup of wine ,drink .

[11] Last night ,from the hidden ,to the ear of my heart ,reached a voice
Hafiz less grief suffer thou tranquil sit wine ,drink .

[1] In der Zeit des milden SchahesTrinkt Hafis aus seinem Kruge,Dem Mufti aus seinem Becher.

[2] Von der Zelle in das WeinhausGeh'n Sofis, seit sie den VogtSah'n, die Kanne auf den Schultern.

[3] Um den Scheich, um den Richter,Um den Trunk der Juden fragt' ichIn der Früh' den Weinverkäufer.

[4] Bist du gleich ein Eingeweihter,Sprach er, kann ich's doch nicht sagen,Trinke schweigend und verstecket.

[5] Schenk', der Frühling ist gekommen,Aber hin ist's Geld, bedenkeWie mein Herzensblut nun wallet.

[6] Geldlos und verliebt im Frühling!Halte mich damit entschuldigt,Und verzeihe meine Fehler.

[7] Ey wie lange wirst du schwätzenWie die Kerze, sieh! des WunschesSchmetterling ist da, nun schweige.

[1] From the wine's sparkle the glories of Love for God the Arif knew the hidden mystery
Every one's essence of capability by this ruby the ruddy wine of Love thou canst know .

[2] Only the bird of the morning the nightingale knovveth the value of the rosebud
For ,not every one that read a page ,the meaning knew .

[3] To my work - stricken heart ,I offered two this and the next worlds .Them it accepted not
Save love for Thee ,the rest all effacement ,it my heart knew .

[4] Passed hath that 'time ,when I thought of the talk of the people .Now what fear since ,
Of this my secret pleasure ,the Muhtasib knew .

[5] The Heart - Ravisher God regarded not our ease union with Him time's business in this world
If not ,on our part ,the heart - expectation and the complete desire He knew .

[6] The stone and the clay ,the ruby and the cornelian ,maketh with auspicious glance
Whoever the value of the breath of the breeze of Yaman time of leisure knew ,

[7] O thou that learnest Love's verse from Reason's book
I fear that ,notwithstanding thy labour this subtlety by investigation ,thou wilt not know .

[8] Bring wine of love for of the rose of the world's garden pleasure and ease boasteth not .
He who ,the robbery of the autumn - wind death knew .

[9] This versified jewel of verse that ,from his mind ,he evoked ,Hafiz
The effect of the instruction of Asaf ,the second ,knew .

[1] Der Weise hat im Glanz des Weins Verborgenes erkannt, Denn es wird Jedermanns Natur Durch diese Perl' erkannt.

[2] Den Werth der Rose hat allein Die Nachtigall erkannt; Nicht jeder, der ein Blättchen liest, Hat auch den Sinn erkannt.

[3] Die beiden Welten bracht' ich dar Dem vielerfahrnen Herz; Es hat nur deiner Liebe Werth, Den Rest für nichts erkannt.

[4] Vorbei ist nun die falsche Schaam Vom Angesicht des Volks, Seit dem mich im Verborgenen Der Wächter hat erkannt.

[5] Der Schöne meynte: daß für jetzt Nicht Zeit zur Ruhe sey; Deßhalb hat er dem armen Geist, Verläng'rung zuerkannt.

[6] Die Rose und den Wein verkehrt Durchs Anschaun in Rubin, Wer nur den wahren Werth des Hauchs Der Seligkeit erkannt.

[7] Du der vom Buche der Vernunft Die Liebe lernen willst, Ich fürchte, du hast diesen Punkt Nicht wie du sollst erkannt.

[8] Bring' Wein! denn mit der Rose prahlt Kein Mensch auf dieser Welt, Der die Verwüstungen des Winds Im Herbste hat erkannt.

[7] The king's luminous opinion is the place of the light of splendour
When propinquity to him ,thou desirest ,in purity of intention strive .

For the confidant of Surush Jibra .il is the ear of his heart .

[1] گر چه افتاد ز زلفش گرهی در کارم
همچنان چشم گشاد از کرمش می‌دارم

خون دل عکس برون می‌دهد از رخسارم

آه اگر زان که در این پرده نباشد بارم

Alas ,if on that account ,within this screen of the melody mine ,access be none .

So that ,into this screen of dark night save thought of Him ,naught I pass .

From the reed - pen ,all candy and sugar ,rain .

[6] By His tale ,to sleep went fortune's eye
Where ,a breeze of favour ,that ,me ,awake may make

[7] When ,in the wind's thoroughfare ,Him ,my Friend ,I see not
To whom ,may I speak saying A word to my Friend ,utter .

Hafiz replied Save with the dust of Thy door ,say in work with whom ,am I

[1] Ich trat mit großer HoffnungDen Weg an in die Wüste,O Führer meines Herzens,Laß mich hier nicht zurücke.

[2] Wiewohl mir eine LockeVom Haar ist zugefallen,So öffn' ich doch die AugenNach neuer Huld und Gnade.

[3] O glaube nicht, daß froher SinnMir so die Wangen röthet,Es ist das Blut des Herzens,Das außen wiederscheinet.

[4] Es wird des Sängers WeiseMich selber nie entziehen.O weh! wenn diese WeiseMir nicht erlaubet würde.

[5] Ich bin durch ganze NächteDes Herzharemes Wächter,Nur ihrem Bild erlaub' ichs,Den Schleier durchzuschlüpfen.

[6] Ich bin der süsse Sänger,Der durch des Wortes Zauber,Vom Rohr' der Feder ZuckerUnd reinen Kandel träufet.

In pain of separation thou consumedest my soul ; yet with heart ,friend I hold thee .

[2] So long as I trail not the skirt of my shroud beneath the foot of the dust of the grave
Believe not ,I will keep my hand from off the skirt of thee .

[3] Display the prayer - arch of thy eyebrow ,that ,in the morning - time ,

A hundred kinds of sorcery learned from him I will evoke to bring thee .

[5] O faithless physician the beloved I wish to die before thee
Ask the sick for I am in expectation of thee .

[6] In exceeding love for thee I have ,in my bosom ,established a hundred streams of tear from my eye
In the hope that I may sow love's seed in the heart of thee .

[7] The beloved spilled my blood and released me from grief of separation ,
Thank - profferer ,I am for the dagger - working glance of thee .

[8] I weep and ,from this tear ,torrent raining ,my hope
Is that love's seed ,I may plant in the heart of thee .

[9] Of thy grace ,give me access to thyself so that ,with heart - consuming ,
The jewel the tear of the eye ,I may momently rain upon the feet of thee .

[1] O Du, ferne von mir! sey Gott befohlen! Ich Verbrannter, ich bin Dir gut von Herzen.

[4] Soll nach Babel ich gehen, zum Zaubrer Harut, Alles würde versucht, dich mitzunehmen.

[6] Sieh', es fließet der Strom von meinen Thränen, Daß der Saamen der Lieb' aus Dir entsprieße.

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 .

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 .

For grief for whom ,wonderful in wretchedness I beheld thestate of the old man Y'akub of Kin'an .

O sage do not a deed ,that bringeth penitence .

[24] O idol ,stony of heart if of me careless thou be ,

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 .

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] By His the true Beloved's soul I swear that if power of sacrificing my life had been ,
The humble offering of His slave ,it would have been .

[3] Confessor ,in service to His stature ,the tongueless cypress would have been ,
If ,to it ,like the noble ten - tongued lily ,tongue had been .

[4] Him ,even in sleep ,I see not .What room for speaking of union
When this union might not be ,Him we saw not .Would to God that the beholding of Him in sleep had been .

[5] If foot - bound to His tress ,my heart had not been ,
In this dark dust - heap this world rest mine ,how would have been

[6] In face ,like the resplendent sun of the sky ,peerless of climes is He
In heart ,alas ,that only a little kind He should have been .

[7] Would to God by my door ,like a flash of light ,he had entered ,
So that ,on my two eyes his order current had been

[8] Forth from the screen ,when would have fallen Hafiz's wail of lustrous verse
If not fellow - companion of the birds ,morning - singing ,he had been

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

[2] 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 .

Alone ,without the aid of an army ,will sever the world .

[7] 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

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

[10] 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

[11] 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 .

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

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

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

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

[1] Es strahlt in deinem Angesicht Der Herrschaft Schimmer, In deinem Sinn verstecket sich Die Weisheit Gottes.

[2] elobt sey Gott, es hat dein Kiel Mit einem Tropfen Geöffnet hundert Quellen Licht Im Reich des Glaubens.

[3] Der Schimmer Gottes strahlet nicht Auf Ahrimanen, Du hast das Reich, du hast den Ring, Herrsch' nach Belieben.

[4] Wer über Salomons Gewalt Noch Zweifel heget, Dem lachet in das Angesicht So Fisch als Vogel.

[5] Es setzt der Falke zwar auf's Haupt Ein kleines Häubchen, Doch wissen Herrscherrecht und Brauch Des Kafes Vögel.

[6] Das Schwert, das selbst der Himmel tränkt Mit seinem Wasser, Erobert eine ganze Welt, Doch ohne Heere.

[7] Es schreibet deine Feder schön Für Freund' und Feinde; Des Freundes Leben wird vermehrt, Des Feinds vermindert.

[8] Du hast in dir das Element Des Steins der Weisen; Dein Glück ist von des Unglücks Sturm Sehr weit entfernet.

[9] O Schenke, bringe mir ein Glas Vom Haus des Wirthes, Daß ich mir von dem Klosterstolz Die Kleider wasche. Seit daß die Herrschaft Anfang nahm Bei Adamssöhnen, Hat Keiner dieses noch so gut Wie du begriffen. Der Himmel thuet nichts zu leid Den reinen Engeln, Auf mich häuft sich des Unglücks Last O meine Zuflucht.

[10] Mein Glas ist schon durch lange Zeit Geleert vom Weine, Sieh, so beginn' ich den Proceß, Der Vogt sey Zeuge.

[11] Wenn deines Schwertes Funkelschein In Schachten fiele, So würden die Rubinen selbst Davor erblassen.

[12] Ich weiß, daß du Erbarmung hast Mit Nachtdurchwachern. O frag' den Ost, er saget dir, Wie es mir gehet.

[13] Hat der Empörung Wetterstrahl Bei Menschen eingeschlagen, Wer fraget ums Gebrechliche Von unsern Sünden.

[14] Hafis sey gegen deinen Schah Nicht ungehalten, Wenn der dir auch den Namen raubt, So komm' zurücke! O du der Gnaden Zufluchtsort, Du Huldverspender! Erbarme dich, viel Unglücks kam Auf diesen Armen.

German Translation

[1] کس نیست که افتاده آن زلف دوتا نیست
در رهگذر کیست که دامی ز بلا نیست

[2] چون چشم تو دل می‌برد از گوشه نشینان
همراه تو بودن گنه از جانب ما نیست

[3] روی تو مگر آینه لطف الهیست
حقا که چنین است و در این روی و ریا نیست

[4] نرگس طلبد شیوه چشم تو زهی چشم
مسکین خبرش از سر و در دیده حیا نیست

[5] از بهر خدا زلف مپیرای که ما را
شب نیست که صد عربده با باد صبا نیست

[6] بازآی که بی روی تو ای شمع دل افروز
در بزم حریفان اثر نور و صفا نیست

[7] تیمار غریبان اثر ذکر جمیل است
جانا مگر این قاعده در شهر شما نیست

[8] دی می‌شد و گفتم صنما عهد به جای آر
گفتا غلطی خواجه در این عهد وفا نیست

[9] گر پیر مغان مرشد من شد چه تفاوت
در هیچ سری نیست که سری ز خدا نیست

[10] عاشق چه کند گر نکشد بار ملامت
با هیچ دلاور سپر تیر قضا نیست

[11] در صومعه زاهد و در خلوت صوفی
جز گوشه ابروی تو محراب دعا نیست

[12] ای چنگ فروبرده به خون دل حافظ
فکرت مگر از غیرت قرآن و خدا نیست

[1] Who is not fallen into that doubled tress is none
In whose path is it ,that a snare of calamity is none

[2] Since from the corner - sitters Thy eye ravished my heart
To be in thy train ,a sin on our part is none .

[3] Perchance ,thy face is the mirror of divine light
O God I swear that thus it is and ,in this ,dissimulation and hypocrisy is none .

[4] The narcissus seeketh the way of thy eye ,O excellent eye
To the wretched narcissus news of its mystery ; and ,in its eye ,light is none .

[5] For God's sake ,adorn not thy tress for ours ,
Is no night when ,with the morning wind ,many a conflict is none .

[6] candle ,heart - kindling come back ; for ,without Thy face ,
At the banquet of companions ,the effect of light and of purity is none .

[8] Last night ,He went and I said O idol fulfil Thy covenant
He said O Khwaja thou art in error fidelity in this covenant is none .

[9] If the Pir of the magians become my Murshid what difference
There is no head ,in which a mystery of God is none .

[10] Against the sun resplendent to speak saying : I am the fountain of light .
Worthy even of obscure Suha ,the great ones know is none .

[1] Keiner ist, der nicht in diese doppelte Locke gefallen, Wo ist ein Weg, den nicht Netze des Unglücks umziehn?

[2] Da dein Auge sogar frömmsten Klausnern das Herz raubt, Ists dir nachzuzieh'n keine Beschimpfung für mich?

[3] Dein Gesicht ist vielleicht ein Spiegel des göttlichen Lichtes, Wahrlich! wahrlich! so ist's, keine Verstellung ist dieß. Dein Gesicht zu bereun, hat mir der Klausner befohlen, Schämt er sich nicht vor Gott, schämt er sich auch nicht vor dir! Unseren bitteren Schmerz bewein' o Kerze des Moschus, Denn die heimliche Gluth zehret an mir wie an dir! Zeuge sey mir Gott, und Gott genügt mir als Zeuge, Diese Thränen sind köstliches Martyrerblut.

[4] Sieh die Narzisse verlangt nach deinem liebkosenden Auge, Welch ein Aug'! Es hat weder Erfahrung noch Glanz.

[5] Ich beschwör' dich bey Gott, du sollst nicht kräuseln die Locken, Denn ich schlag' mit dem Ost jegliche Nacht mich herum.

[6] Komm zurück, denn ohne das Herzen erleuchtende Antlitz Ist die Freude verbannt, aus dem geselligen Kreis.

[7] Sieh! für Fremde zu sorgen war sonst die löblichste Sitte, Ist vielleicht das Gesetz fremde in Euerer Stadt?

[8] Gestern gieng sie weg, ich sprach, vollzieh' das Versprechen, Ach! du irrest, sprach Sie; Zeiten der Treu' sind vorbei.

[9] Da der alte Wirth zu unserem Jünger geworden, Kommt auf jegliches Haupt Gottes Geheimniß herab. Männer von Einsicht wissen es wohl, es zieme dem Blöden Nicht zu der Sonne zu schreyn: ich bin die Quelle des Lichts.

[10] Treffen muß den Verliebten der Pfeil des Schimpfes und Tadels, Wider des Schicksals Pfeil decket die Helden kein Schild.

[11] In des Klausners Gemach, und in der Zelle des Sofi's Giebt es keinen Altar als die Winkel der Brau'n.

[12] Wenn du die Hand eintauchst in Hafisens geronnenes Herzblut, Fürchte du dich vor Gott, daß er nicht räch' den Koran.

[1] سلام الله ما کر اللیالی
و جاوبت المثانی و المثالی

[2] علی وادی الاراک و من علیها
و دار باللوی فوق الرمال

[3] دعاگوی غریبان جهانم
و ادعو بالتواتر و التوالی

[4] به هر منزل که رو آرد خدا را
نگه دارش به لطف لایزالی

[5] منال ای دل که در زنجیر زلفش
همه جمعیت است آشفته حالی

[6] ز خطت صد جمال دیگر افزود
که عمرت باد صد سال جلالی

[7] تو می‌باید که باشی ور نه سهل است
زیان مایه جاهی و مالی

[8] بر آن نقاش قدرت آفرین باد
که گرد مه کشد خط هلالی

[9] فحبک راحتی فی کل حین
و ذکرک مونسی فی کل حال

[10] سویدای دل من تا قیامت
مباد از شوق و سودای تو خالی

[11] کجا یابم وصال چون تو شاهی
من بدنام رند لاابالی

[12] خدا داند که حافظ را غرض چیست
و علم الله حسبی من سؤالی

[1] The salutation of God as long as nights recur till the judgment day
And as long as the lutes of two ,or three ,strings respond to each other or to the singer

[2] On the valley of Arak ,and on him who is therein
On my dwelling on the bend of the hill above the sands

[3] The prayer - utterer for travellers of the world ,I am
Constantly and perpetually ,I pray .

[4] O God in every stage whereto he turneth his face
Him ,in Thy eternal protection ,keep .

[5] O heart bewail not .For ,in the chain of His tress ,
The distraught state is all collectedness tranquillity

[6] From Thy down ,a hundred other beauties increase
Be Thy life a hundred illustrious years

[7] That thou be is necessary .If not ,easy is
The loss of capital ,of rank ,and of wealth .

[8] Afarin be on that Painter of power ,
Who ,around the full moon ,draweth the line of a crescent a new moon

[9] For ,at all times ,love for Thee is my rest
In every state ,remembrance of Thee is my consoler .

[10] Till the judgment - day ,the black point of my heart
Be it not void of consuming and of distraughtness for Thee

[11] Union with a King like Thee ,how may gain ,
I ,bad of name ,profligate ,careless

[12] God knoweth Hafiz's intention
God's knowledge of my wants is sufficient for me without my asking

[1] Heil über dich, so lange Die Nächt' auf Tage folgen, Heil über dich! so schall' es Dann zwey- und dreymal wieder!

[2] Heil sey dem Thal Erack Und seiner ganzen Gegend Und allen Fahnenzelten, Die auf dem Sande stehen!

[3] Ich bete für die Fremden Auf diesem Erdenrunde, O betet so in Chören, Und ohne aufzuhören!

[4] O Herr! nach welcher Gegend Der Fremde sich auch wende, O halte ihn für immer In deiner ew'gen Obhut.

[5] Mein Herz hör' auf zu weinen, Du bist in ihren Locken, Was dir verwirret scheinet, Ist in der schönsten Ordnung. Ich sterbe blos aus Sehnsucht, O hätte ich doch Kenntniß, O wann kömmt dann der Bothe Mit Kunde vom Genusse!

[6] Die Flaumen deiner Lippen Vermehren deine Schönheit. Es daure hundert Jahre In vollem Glanz dein Leben.

[7] Vor allem Andern bleibe Beständig in Gesundheit, Verlust von Gold und Ehren Ist immer zu ertragen.

[8] Es sey der Allmacht Mahler Zehntausendmal gepriesen, Daß er um deinen Vollmond Den neuen Mond nachmalte.

[9] O Freundinn! deine Liebe Ist meine einzige Ruhe, Es ist dein Angedenken, Mein einziger Vertrauter.

[10] Es soll des Herzens Innres Bis auf die letzten Tage Von Sehnsucht und Begierde Nie leer und ledig bleiben.

[11] Genuß! wo ist ein solcher, Wie du für mich ein Schah bist, Ich bin im bösen Rufe, Betrunken ohne Sorgen.

[12] Um was Hafis sich sehnet, Deß ist Gott selber Zeuge, Und kennet Gott die Bitte, So lass' ich's mir genügen.

German Translation

[1] به غیر از آن که بشد دین و دانش از دستم
بیا بگو که ز عشقت چه طرف بربستم

[2] اگر چه خرمن عمرم غم تو داد به باد
به خاک پای عزیزت که عهد نشکستم

[3] چو ذره گر چه حقیرم ببین به دولت عشق
که در هوای رخت چون به مهر پیوستم

[4] بیار باده که عمریست تا من از سر امن
به کنج عافیت از بهر عیش ننشستم

[5] اگر ز مردم هشیاری ای نصیحتگو
سخن به خاک میفکن چرا که من مستم

[6] چگونه سر ز خجالت برآورم بر دوست
که خدمتی به سزا برنیامد از دستم

[7] بسوخت حافظ و آن یار دلنواز نگفت
که مرهمی بفرستم که خاطرش خستم

[1] Beyond limit this that from my hand ,went religion and knowledge ,
Come ,say what joy from love for Thee ,I established

[2] Although grief for Thee gave to the wind the harvest of my life ,
Falling in the dust of Thy precious foot ,I displayed fidelity for the covenant that I had made I broke not .

[3] Contemptible like the atom though I am ,Love's wealth ,behold
How ,in desire of Thy face ,joined to love I am .

[4] Bring wine for 'tis a life - time ,since ,through desire of safety ,I
Sate ,in the corner of safety for the sake of ease .

[5] O counsel - utterer if of the crowd of men of sense ,thou be ,
To the dust ,cast not thy speech of counsel for counsel is useless intoxicated I am .

[6] Before the Friend God my head forth from shame how may I bring ,
When ,from my hand ,a worthy service issueth not

[7] Hafiz consumed ; and that Beloved ,heart - cherishing ,spake not ,
Saying When his heart ,I wounded ,a plaister ,I sent .

[1] Außer daß so Glaub' als WissenMeiner Hand entfloh,Komm, und sag' ob ich durch LiebeAnderes gewann!

[2] Zwar flog meines Lebens ScheuerAuf in Wind für dich,Doch beim Staub von deinen Füßen!Ich brach nicht den Bund.

[3] Zwar bin ich ein Sonnenstäubchen,Unansehnlich klein,Fliege durch das Glück der Liebe,Wangensonnen zu.

[4] Bringe Wein! jetzt sind die Tage,Lang' ist's, daß ich nichtIn des Seelenheiles Winkel,Voll von Liebe saß.

[5] Du, der guten Rath ertheilest,Wenn du weise bist,Wirf das Wort nicht auf die Erde,Sieh! ich bin berauscht.

[6] Kann aus Schaam den Kopf ich heben,Vor dem lieben Freund,Angenehmes hab' bisher ichIhm noch nicht gethan.

[7] Flammen zehrten an Hafisen,Doch sie sagte nicht:Ihm will ich ein Pflaster schicken,Dem ich weh' gethan.
