[1]  O true Beloved when ,into the mirror of the cup of love the reflection of Thy face fell ,
From the laughter of wine love's glory into the crude desire of drinking the cup ,the Arif fell .

[2]   With that splendour that ,in the mirror of the ruby the beauty of Thy face made ,
All this picture of created beings that are illusory into the mirror of fancy fell .

[3]   All this reflection of wine sensual love and varied picture brutal love that have appeared
Is only a splendour of the face of the Saki God that ,into cup of our heart and into things possible fell .

[4]   The jealousy of true love severed and made dumb the tongue of all the great ones of love the Arifs
Then into the mouth of the common people ,the mystery of grief for Him ,how fell

[5]   From the masjid to the tavern ,I fell not of myself
From the covenant of eternity without beginning ,to me this result of the end tavern - haunting fell .

[6]   When ,like the compass ,for the sake of revolution ,he moveth not ,what may he do
Who in the circle of time's revolution fell

[7]   After coming out from the pit dimple of Thy chin ,in the curl of Thy tress ,my heart clung
Alas ,forth from the pit ,it came and into the snare ,fell .

[8]   O Khwaja passed hath that time when thou sawest me in the cloister
Now with the face of the Saki and the lip of the cup ,my work fell .

[9]   Beneath the sword of grief for Him ,it is proper to go dancing in joy
For ,that one who was slain of Him ,his end happy fell .

[10]   Every moment ,another kindness to me of consumed heart is His
Behold ,how fit for reward ,this beggar fell .

[11]   The Sufis ,all ,are lovers and glance of love players but ,
From the midst ,to bad name ,heart - consumed Hafiz fell .

[12]   Through pure vision ,he of pure vision the Arif ,or the holy traveller attained his object
Through the eye ,double - seeing captive to duality the crafty one captive to reason and desire or the hypocrite into crude desire fell .

[1]  Ist der Wangen Wiederschein In des Glases Fluth gefallen, So sind Weise alsogleich Lächelnd durch den Wein gefallen.

[2]  Wegen einer Schmeichelei, Die du deinem Spiegel machtest, Sind in meines Herzens Glas Solche Bilder eingefallen.

[4]  Liebeseifer hat die Zung' Der Vertrauten abgeschnitten, Wie ist also dieses Wort Ihres Grams in's Volk gefallen.

[6]  Wie der Zirkel in dem Kreis Muß sich in die Runde drehen, Wer in dieser Zeiten Kreis In den Wirbel ist gefallen. Nimmer Meister wirst du mich Künftighin in Schenken sehen, Denn ich bin nun auf das Glas, Auf des Freundes Aug' gefallen.

[7]  Aus des Kinnes Grübchen griff Ich nach Ihres Haares Stricken, Ach! ich kam wohl aus dem Brunn, Aber bin in's Netz gefallen.

[9]  Unter ihrem Schmerzenschwert' Muß man immer tanzen geh'n, Nie für die Erschlagenen Ist das End' gut ausgefallen.

[10]  Immer neue Huld von ihr, Für mich armen Herzverbrannten, Sieh! wie ist der Bettler doch In des Fürsten Huld gefallen.

[11]  Alle Frommen trinken Wein, Alle seh'n die Schönen gerne, Deinem Herzen, o Hafis, Spott und Schand ist zugefallen.

[1]  In the wish that my heart's work should be ended ,my soul melted and it became not acquired
In this immature wish ,I consumed ; and it the wish became not acquired

[2]   With reproach ,the Chief of thy Assembly said to me One night ,I go to thy Assembly
According to his wish ,I became the least of His slaves and it my desire became not acquired

[3]   He the true Beloved gave the message saying I will sit with profligates
In the hope of His society reputation for profligacy and dreg - drinking became mine ; and it my hope became not acquired

[4]   If the pigeon of my heart flutter ,it is lawful
For ,in its path ,it beheld the twist and turn of the snare but it freedom became not acquired

[5]   In that desire that ,in intoxication ,I may kiss that ruby lip of the true Beloved
What blood of grief it was that ,into my heart like a cup ,fell and it the lip - kissing became not acquired

[6]   In Love's street ,plant not thy foot without the road - guide the murshid
For ,I ,of myself ,made a hundred efforts and it my desire became not acquired

[7]   In search of the treasure - mandate of my purpose ,justice For ,
I became one altogether ruined in the world and it the mandate became not acquired

[8]   In search of the cash treasure of the true Beloved's presence ,
To the generous ,much in beggary I wandered and it the Beloved's presence became not acquired

[9]   Out of thought's desire ,Hafiz evoked a thousand desires ,
In the desire that that companion the true Beloved may become obedient to him and it his desire became not acquired

[1]  Die Seele schmolz für das Geschäft des Herzens, Nichts ist daraus geworden, Verbrennt bin ich in diesem rohen Wunsche, Es ist mir nichts geworden.

[2]  Ich will einst bei der Nacht, so sprach der Liebling, Des Kreises Führer werden, Ich harrte sein; doch ist er nicht der Führer Von meinem Kreis geworden.

[3]  Er gab die Botschaft mir, ich will in's künft'ge Nur mit dem Trunknen sitzen, Im Rausch verlor ich meinen guten Namen, Er ist mir nicht geworden.

[4]  Wohl billig ist's, daß meine Herzenstaube Mit Wunsch umher sich treibet, Sie sah auf ihrem Weg das Netz der Locken, Und ihr ist's nicht geworden.

[5]  Der Wunsch, daß ich einst den Rubin der Lippen Im Rausche küssen möchte, Hat viel des Bluts auf's arme Herz gegoßen, Er ist mir nicht geworden.

[6]  Beginne deinen Weg nicht ohne Führer In das Gebieth der Liebe, Denn viel hab' ich mich drinn allein bemüht, Es ist mir nicht geworden.

[8]  Um's baare Geld die Gegenwart zu suchen, O wehe! mir o wehe! Gieng ich als Bettler zu dem Hochgeehrten, Es ist mir nichts geworden.

[9]  Es sann Hafis auf tausend neue Ränke In seinen Herzgedanken, Der Hoffnung, seinen Liebling zu bezähmen, Er ist nicht zahm geworden.

[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 .

[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 .

[81]   Deadly poison ,the sorrowful ones of calamity lovers ,sorrowful through sepa - ration from thee drink
The design of slaying this tribe of lovers is dangerous .Take care that it ,thou doest 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 .
