[1] گر از این منزل ویران به سوی خانه روم
دگر آن جا که روم عاقل و فرزانه روم

[2] زین سفر گر به سلامت به وطن بازرسم
نذر کردم که هم از راه به میخانه روم

[3] تا بگویم که چه کشفم شد از این سیر و سلوک
به در صومعه با بربط و پیمانه روم

[4] آشنایان ره عشق گرم خون بخورند
ناکسم گر به شکایت سوی بیگانه روم

[5] بعد از این دست من و زلف چو زنجیر نگار
چند و چند از پی کام دل دیوانه روم

[6] گر ببینم خم ابروی چو محرابش باز
سجده شکر کنم و از پی شکرانه روم

[7] خرم آن دم که چو حافظ به تولای وزیر
سرخوش از میکده با دوست به کاشانه روم

[1] If ,from this stage this world of travel towards the house my native land ,the next world I go
When there again I go ,wise and learned ,I go .

[2] If ,from this journey ,in safety to my native land ,I return ,
I vow that ,by the way to the wine - house of love I go .

[3] To utter what became revealed to me ,from this travelling and journeying ,
With the harp and the wine - cup ,to the door of the wine - house I go .

[4] If friends of the Path of love drink my blood ,
Mean one ,am I if ,in complaint ,to the stranger ,I go .

[5] After this together are my hand ,and the chain - like tress of the idol the true Beloved
In pursuit of the desire of my distraught heart ,how long ,how long do I go

[6] If ,again ,the curve of His eye - brow like the prayer - arch I see
Bending in thanks ,I make and for the sake of thanks - giving ,I go .

[7] Happy that moment ,when ,like Hafiz ,in attachment to the vazir ,
From the wine - house to my own house my native land ,the next world happy of head ,with the Friend 1 go -

[1] Wenn aus der Fremde ich vielleicht Einmal nach Haus soll gehen, So will ich mit verständ'gem Sinn Und wohlbedächtig gehen.

[2] Und kehr' ich unbeschädigt heim Von dieser weiten Reise, So halte ich auch mein Gelübd, Ins Weinhaus hinzugehen.

[3] Um kund zu thun der ganzen Welt, Was ich erfahren habe, Will ich mit meinem Saitenspiel Zur Seitenthüre gehen.

[4] Und wird mein Blut am Liebespfad Von Freunden ausgetrunken, Ich wär' ein Elender, wenn ich Drob könnte klagen gehen.

[5] Von nun gehöret mein das Haus, Was soll nach Lockenketten Mein Herz, das durchaus närrisch ist, Ob seinen Wünschen gehen?

[6] Wenn ich des Freundes Augenbraun' Statt des Altares sehe, So will ich gern aus Dankbarkeit Zu dem Gebete gehen.

[7] O gute Zeit, wenn, wie Hafis, In den Wesir verliebet, Und trunken aus der Schenke ich Zum Liebling werde gehen.

[1] درآ که در دل خسته توان درآید باز
بیا که در تن مرده روان درآید باز

[2] بیا که فرقت تو چشم من چنان در بست
که فتح باب وصالت مگر گشاید باز

[3] غمی که چون سپه زنگ ملک دل بگرفت
ز خیل شادی روم رخت زداید باز

[4] به پیش آینه دل هر آن چه می‌دارم
بجز خیال جمالت نمی‌نماید باز

[5] بدان مثل که شب آبستن است روز از تو
ستاره می‌شمرم تا که شب چه زاید باز

[6] بیا که بلبل مطبوع خاطر حافظ
به بوی گلبن وصل تو می‌سراید باز

[1] O true Beloved come ,so that ,in my shattered and grief - stricken heart ,power may enter again
Come so that ,in my dead body ,life may enter again .

[2] Come for separation from Thee hath closed my eye in such a way
That ,it ,only the opening of the door of union with Thee may perchance open again .

[3] That grief ,that ,like the black army of Zang took ,in blood ,my heart ,
By the troop of horse of joyousness of the Rum the country of Thy face ,will be effaced again .

[4] Before the mirror of the heart ,whatever I hold ,
Save the image of Thy beauty appeareth not again .

[5] Through fear of the desert ,evil make not thy heart the ihram ,bind on
For reflecteth not the man of the Path ,though from the desert ,or from the journey he cometh not again .

[6] Hafiz come .For the bulbul ,agreeable of heart ,
By the perfume of the rose - bed of union with thee ,singeth again .

[1] O komm! mein wundes Herz, erlang die Kräfte wieder,O komm! den todten Leib beseele Leben wieder

[2] O komm! die Trennung hat das Herz so fest verschlossenDaß nur dein Hochgenuß es kann eröffnen wieder.

[3] Das Mohrenheer des Grams, das mich in Blut versenkteSchlug nun die weiße Schaar von deinen Wangen wieder.

[4] Ich halte was ich will vor meines Herzens SpiegelSo strahlet er mir nichts als deine Schönheit wieder

[5] Das alte Sprichwort sagt: daß Nächte schwanger sindDie Sterne zähl' ich nun zu sehn was sie gebähren.

[6] O komm! die Nachtigall von dem Gemüth HafisensKommt auf den Duft der Rosen des Genußes wieder.

German Translation

[1] نقدها را بود آیا که عیاری گیرند
تا همه صومعه داران پی کاری گیرند

[2] مصلحت دید من آن است که یاران همه کار
بگذارند و خم طره یاری گیرند

[3] خوش گرفتند حریفان سر زلف ساقی
گر فلکشان بگذارد که قراری گیرند

[4] قوت بازوی پرهیز به خوبان مفروش
که در این خیل حصاری به سواری گیرند

[5] یا رب این بچه ترکان چه دلیرند به خون
که به تیر مژه هر لحظه شکاری گیرند

[6] رقص بر شعر تر و ناله نی خوش باشد
خاصه رقصی که در آن دست نگاری گیرند

[7] حافظ ابنای زمان را غم مسکینان نیست
زین میان گر بتوان به که کناری گیرند

[1] Of coins of hearts is it that they Fate and Destiny examination take
So that ,the path after their own work ,all the cloister - holders Abids of outward worship take

[2] In my sight ,the counsel is that all work ,friends
Should let go and ,the curl of the tress of a friend God or the murshid take .

[3] The tip of the Saki's tress ,happily the companions take
If the sky permit them ,a little rest they take .

[4] To lovely ones ,boast not of the strength of thy arm of chastity
For ,among this tribe of lovely ones with a single mounted one ,a fortress of chastity they take .

[5] O Lord how bold for blood are these young bold ones
For ,momently ,with the arrow of the eye - lash ,a great prey ,they take .

[6] To sweet song ,and to the reed's voice sweet is the dance
Especially ,that dance wherein ,a lovely idol's hand ,they take .

[7] Hafiz no grief for the wretched have the sons of Time Amirs
A path aside from the midst of them the Amirs if possible it is best that they the wretched ones take .

[1] Ist's denn wahr, daß man Will nach allem Silber greifen, Um auf böser That Fromme zu ergreifen?

[2] Meine Meinung ist, Alle Freunde sollen Nichts als ihres Freund's Krauses Haar ergreifen.

[3] Wenn das Unglück stürmt, Werden fest sich halten, Alle, die das Haar Ihres Freund's ergreifen. Wenn der Rab' sich nicht Schämt zu geh'n auf Rosen, Mag die Nachtigall Kühn den Dorn ergreifen.

[4] Rühme deinem Freund Nicht des Armen Stärke, Denn Ein Mann genügt Vesten zu ergreifen.

[5] Diese Türken, Herr! Was sind das für Schöne, Welche ihren Raub Mit den Brau'n ergreifen.

[6] Schön ist Tanz beim Sang Und beim Ton der Laute, Wenn man eine schöne Hand dabey kann greifen.

[7] Keine Huld, Hafis, Hat man für die Armen, Trachte einen Saum, Wie du kannst, zu greifen.

[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

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

[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] در نظربازی ما بی‌خبران حیرانند
من چنینم که نمودم دگر ایشان دانند

[2] عاقلان نقطه پرگار وجودند ولی
عشق داند که در این دایره سرگردانند

[3] جلوه گاه رخ او دیده من تنها نیست
ماه و خورشید همین آینه می‌گردانند

[4] عهد ما با لب شیرین دهنان بست خدا
ما همه بنده و این قوم خداوندانند

[5] مفلسانیم و هوای می و مطرب داریم
آه اگر خرقه پشمین به گرو نستانند

[6] وصل خورشید به شبپره اعمی نرسد
که در آن آینه صاحب نظران حیرانند

[7] لاف عشق و گله از یار زهی لاف دروغ
عشقبازان چنین مستحق هجرانند

[10] زاهد ار رندی حافظ نکند فهم چه شد
دیو بگریزد از آن قوم که قرآن خوانند

[11] گر شوند آگه از اندیشه ما مغبچگان

[1] Astonied at our glance - playing in love's path those void of vision the men of shara' are
As I appeared infidel ,or lover of God so I am the rest ,they know .

[2] The sages are the centre of the compass of existence but
Love knoweth that ,in this circle of love they head - revolving their learning in love's path being useless are .

[3] Not alone is my eye the splendour - place of His cheek
Revolving this very mirror ,the sun and the moon are .

[4] With the lip of those sweet of mouth ,God established my covenant of service
We all slaves are and these lords are .

[5] Poor having only the woollen religious garment are we and desire for wine and for the minstrel ,we have
Alas if ,in pledge ,the woollen khirka they take not .

[6] The union of the sun the true Beloved reacheth not to the blind bat common persons
For ,in this mirror even those of vision astonied are .

[7] To make boast of love and lament of the tyranny of the beloved O excellent the boast of falsehood
Deserving of separation ,love - player - like these are .

[8] O beloved perchance Thy dark intoxicated eye will teach me abstinent the work of intoxication
If not ,capable of combining abstinence and intoxication ,not all are .

[9] If to the pleasure - place the world of souls ,the wind carry Thy perfume ,
In scattering for thee the jewel of their existence ,reason and soul scatter .

[10] Zahid if Hafiz practise not profligacy ,what fear Know
From that tribe that readeth the Kuran ,the demon fleeth .

After this ,in pledge ,the Sufi's khirka they take not and from him flee

[1] Ueber meines Liebchens Aeugeln Staunen alle Unerfahrne, Ich bin so wie ich erscheine, Während sie es anders wissen.

[2] Weise sind zwar sonst das Mittel, Von der ganzen Schöpfung Kreise; Doch die Liebe weiß, daß selbe In dem Kreise sich oft drehen.

[3] Nicht mein Aug' allein betrachtet Die Liebkosungen der Wangen, Mond und Sonne machen immer Diesem Spiegel ihren Kreislauf.

[4] Gott der Herr hat meine Tage An Süßlippichte gebunden, Ich bin ihr ergebner Sklave, Sie allein sind meine Herren.

[5] Wir sind ganz zu Grund gerichtet, Wünschen dennoch Wein und Sänger, Ach! wenn die befleckte Kutte Nun der Wirth zum Pfand nicht nähme.

[6] Zu dem Lichtgenuß der Sonne Kann ein Blinder nicht gelangen, Weil vor diesem Spiegel Seher Selbst verblendet niederfallen.

[7] Was ist das, mit Liebe prahlen, Und zugleich auf Freunde schmählen, Solche Liebende verdienen, Mit der Flucht gestraft zu werden.

[8] Jeder kann von deinen schwarzen Augen lernen einen Kunstgriff, Denn nicht Jeder kann im Rausche Die Enthaltsamkeit bewahren.

[9] Wenn zum Sammelplatz der Geister, Deinen Hauch der Ostwind brauchet, Streuen sie Verstand und Seele, Als ob es nur Locken wären.

[10] Freilich kann den Rausch Hafisens, Nicht der Eremit verstehen, Denn der Teufel flieht vor jenen Leuten, die den Koran beten.

[11] Wenn von meinen Herzensplanen Schenkenjungen Nachricht hätten, Würden sie der Frommen Kutten Nimmermehr zum Pfande nehmen.

[3] Im Rausche ward ich zum Gespräch Den Alten und Unwissenden.

[4] Mich reuet, was der Fromme sprach, Und vor dem Mönche bewahr' mich Gott!

[5] O Herz! fühlst du den Trennungsschmerz, Die hundert Thränen, hundert Ach!

[6] Den Ketzer treff' nicht solcher Gram, Wie du dem Maale angethan. Den Liebenden gedeiht Geduld, Darum begehr' Geduld von Gott. Mein Gurt ist das befleckte Kleid, O Frommer laß das Gaukelspiel. In seinem Anschaun freut' ich mich, Gott wehre mir nicht den Genuß. Ich wende mich vom Dienst nicht ab, Im Staube bleibt mein Kopf versenkt.

[7] Hafis vergaß durch dein Gesicht Das Nachtgebet, die Morgenzeit.

عاشق مسکین چرا چندین تجمل بایدش

When ,into the bond ,the wise bird falleth ,fortitude is necessary for it .

When with lovers ,the cup's circulation chanceth ,succession continuity is necessary for it .

[1] اگر چه عرض هنر پیش یار بی‌ادبیست
زبان خموش ولیکن دهان پر از عربیست

[2] پری نهفته رخ و دیو در کرشمه حسن
بسوخت دیده ز حیرت که این چه بوالعجبیست

[3] در این چمن گل بی خار کس نچید آری
چراغ مصطفوی با شرار بولهبیست

[4] سبب مپرس که چرخ از چه سفله پرور شد
که کام بخشی او را بهانه بی سببیست

[5] به نیم جو نخرم طاق خانقاه و رباط
مرا که مصطبه ایوان و پای خم طنبیست

[6] جمال دختر رز نور چشم ماست مگر
که در نقاب زجاجی و پرده عنبیست

[7] هزار عقل و ادب داشتم من ای خواجه
کنون که مست خرابم صلاح بی‌ادبیست

[8] بیار می که چو حافظ هزارم استظهار
به گریه سحری و نیاز نیم شبیست

[1] Since the presentation of skill before the Beloved disrespect ,is
The tongue ,silent ; yet ,the mouth full of eloquence of Arabia is .

[3] In this parterre the world none plucked the rose without the thorn .
So the glorious lamp of Mustafa the soul with the horrid flames of Abu Lahab imperious Lust is .

[4] The reason ,ask not why the cherisher of the mean ,became the sphere ,
Whose design of giving ,pretence without reason is .

[6] The beauty of the Daughter of the grape love is the light of our eye .Per - chance ,
In the veil of white glass the perfect Murshid and in the screen of the red grape the perfect Murshid it is .

[7] O Sir a thousand reasons and manners ,I had
Now ,that I am intoxicated and ruined ,this my state ,due to the invitation of one void of manners is .

[8] Bring wine for ,as is the way of Hafiz ,the asking God for aid always
In weeping in the morning - time ,and in supplication at midnight is .

[1] Es ist zwar unverschämt, mit Tugenden Sich vor dem Freunde zu prahlen, O Zunge schweig! Wiewohl du von Reinem Arabischen strömst.

[2] Des Angesichts Peri hat sich verstecket, Aber der Dive des Auges Hat mit des Staunens Flammen mich verbrannt. Ey wie das wunderbar ist!

[3] Fürwahr! Noch keiner brach auf dieser Flur Ohne die Dornen die Rose, Und in die Lampen des Propheten sprühen Die Funken des Ebileheb.

[4] Du frage nicht, warum des Himmels Kreis Niedrige Seelen begünstigt? Gerade Mangel des Verdienstes ist Ihm der genügende Grund.

[5] Ich kauf nicht um ein halbes Gerstenkorn Kloster und Stiftsgebäu, Der Schenke Bank ist meines Dom's Gewölb, Meine Behausung das Glas.

[6] In unsrem Augenlichte glänzet hell Tochter der Rebe! Dein Reiz Bald hüllt des Glases Schleierkleid, Bald Beerengewebe dich ein. Wenn du für deinen Gram ein Mittel suchst, Such', was die Herzen erfreuet. Du findest es in Flaschen voll Wein, Und in sinesischen Glas.

[8] Mein Meister! War ich eh' nicht an Verstand, Nicht eh' an Tugenden reich? Jetzt aber, da ich ganz betrunken bin, Lieb' ich den Mangel von Schaam.

[9] Den Wein bring her! Denn dieses Eine ist, Welches Hafis sich erflehet, Wenn er des Morgens lange Klage weinet, Wenn er um Mitternacht fleht.

[1] تویی که بر سر خوبان کشوری چون تاج
سزد اگر همه دلبران دهندت باج

[2] دو چشم شوخ تو برهم زده خطا و حبش
به چین زلف تو ماچین و هند داده خراج

[3] بیاض روی تو روشن چو عارض رخ روز
سواد زلف سیاه تو هست ظلمت داج

[4] دهان شهد تو داده رواج آب خضر
لب چو قند تو برد از نبات مصر رواج

[5] از این مرض به حقیقت شفا نخواهم یافت
که از تو درد دل ای جان نمی‌رسد به علاج

[6] چرا همی‌شکنی جان من ز سنگ دلی
دل ضعیف که باشد به نازکی چو زجاج

[7] لب تو خضر و دهان تو آب حیوان است
قد تو سرو و میان موی و بر به هیئت عاج

[1] From all the heart - ravishers ,it is fit that thou 0 Muhammad shouldest take tribute
For ,over all lovely ones prophets thou ,crown - like ,art chief .

[2] Thy two intoxicated eyes ,the tumult of all Turkistan
To the curl of thy tress ,Ma chin and Chin have given tribute .

[3] The whiteness of mercy of thy face appeared more luminous than the face of day
The darkness of vengeance of thy tress ,more dark than the darkness of dark night .

[4] To the water of life of Khizr ,thy small mouth hath given permanency
Over the sugar of Egypt ,thy candy - like lip hath taken currency .

[5] In truth ,from this disease of love for ,and of separation from ,thee where shall I find recovery
If ,from thee ,my heart - pain reacheth no remedy .

[6] O my soul from stone - heartedness ,why shatterest thou
The feeble heart which ,through feebleness ,is fragile like crystal .

[7] Thy hair is ever fresh like Khizr and thy mouth ,the water of life
Thy stature ,the cypress thy waist ,a hair and thy chest ,like lustrous ivory .

[8] In the head of Hafiz ,the desire of a sovereign like thee hath fallen
Would to Heaven he Hafiz were the humble slave of the dust of thy door

[1] Wie knüpfst die Mitte du, mit einem einz'gen Haar.Wie lösest du so schön, den Leib aus Elfenbein!

[2] Es ziemt, daß du von allen Schönen Steuer nimmst,Indem du in der Schönen Laube König bist.

[3] Durch deine Augen ist ganz Turkistan empört,Und Sin und Hind bringt deinen krausen Locken Zoll.

[4] Die Weisse des Gesichts ist heller als der Tag,Die Schwärze deines Haars ist finstrer als die Nacht.

[5] Dein enger Mund verleiht, dem Quelle Chisers Dauer.Aegyptens Zuckerrohr, versteckt sich vor den Lippen.

[6] Wie soll ich denn von dieser Krankheit Heilung finden,Wenn in mein Herz von dir, kein Heilungsmittel kömmt.

[7] Warum zerschlägst du meine Seele, steinern Herz!Aus Zartheit bricht mein schwaches Herz wie Glas.

[8] Dein Flaum ist Chiser, und dein Mund des Lebensquell,Der Wuchs ein Baum, die Mitt' ein Haar, der Busen Wachs.

[1] O Beloved for Thy rose - leaf ruddy face of the musky fragrant hyacinth the tress the veil make
That is Thy face conceal and a world ruined make .

[2] The sweat from Tby face ,scatter on the borders of the garden
As from seeing Thee the flagons of our eyes are full of rose - water ,tears so full of rose - water the garden make .

[3] Haste for departing ,like swift life ,the rose - season maketh :
Saki in the circulation of the cup of roseate hue ,haste make .

[4] Thy narcissus ,full of sleep ,intoxicated ,gracefully open
And ,in envy of Thy eye to sleep the eye of the lovely narcissus put .

[5] The dark violet's perfume ,perceive and the dark tress of the idol the true Beloved take
At the want of colour of the white lily ,gaze resolution for the ruddy wine make :

[6] Since the way and usage of lover - slaying is thine ,
With enemies ,the goblet drain with us ,reproach make .

[7] On the face of the goblet the murshid like vanishing bubbles ,open thy eye ;
The foundation of this house this world from that of vanishing bubbles ,estimation make .

[8] By the path of prayer ,union ,Hafiz seeketh
O Lord the prayer of those heart - broken accepted make .

[1] Verhüll' mit Moschushyacinthen Die Rosenblätter, Das ist die Wangen mit den Locken, Verheer' die Welten.

[3] Des Lebens Tage geh'n vorüber Schnell wie die Rosen, O Schenke! eil' die Weinrubinen Herumzureichen.

[4] Schließ auf die schlafende und trunkne Narziß liebkosend, Daß die Narzissen eifersüchtig Sich schlafen legen.

[5] Mach' dich bekannt mit Veilchendüften, Schau' an die Locken, Schau' an der Tulpen Flor, begehre Das Glas zum trinken.

[6] Seitdem die Liebenden zu morden, Dir ward zur Sitte, Reichst du den Becher hin den Feinden Und schmählest unser.

[3] دل در جهان مبند و به مستی سؤال کن
از فیض جام و قصه جمشید کامگار

[4] جز نقد جان به دست ندارم شراب کو

یا رب ز چشم زخم زمانش نگاه دار

جام مرصع تو بدین در شاهوار

[7] گر فوت شد سحور چه نقصان صبوح هست
از می کنند روزه گشا طالبان یار

[8] زان جا که پرده پوشی عفو کریم توست
بر قلب ما ببخش که نقدیست کم عیار

ناچار باده نوش که از دست رفت کار

[1] Tis the 'id and ,at last ,the rose and friends are in expectation
Saki in the king's resplendent face ,behold the effulgent moon and bring wine .

[2] From the spring - season of the rose ,I had uplifted my heart for in the rose - sea - son ,I drink no wine wander not about the forbidden and ,in the service of the pure ,acquire perfection but ,
In it the blessing of the pure ones of the time did no great work effected little

[3] To the world ,attach not the heart and of the intoxicated one the holy traveller inquire ,
Of the bounty of the cup and of the tale of Jamshid .

[4] Naught have I in hand ,save life's cash : the wine is where
That it also ,on the Saki's glance ,I may scatter .

[5] Joyous is pleasant fortune and pleasant is the merciful king .
O Lord From time's eye - wound ,them preserve .

[6] To the slave's verse ,drink wine .For another decoration giveth
Thy bejewelled cup to this royal pearl the murshid

[8] For the reason that Thy merciful disposition is the screen - concealer ,
On our heart ,bestow pardon for it is a little cash of small proof .

[9] I fear that ,on the day of rising ,up ,rein on rein equally urge
The rosary of the holy Shaikh ,and the khirka of the profligate ,wine - drinker .

[10] Hafiz since fasting austerity and chastity hath departed and the rose love's season also departeth ,
Helpless ,drink wine of love for ,from the hand ,the goal of work hath departed .

[1] Heut ist das Fest, die Rosen sind fort, und die Freund' in Erwartung,Schaut in Schenkengesicht Mondenglanz, bringet mir Wein!

[2] Längstens hatte mein Herz Verzicht gethan auf die Rosen,Aber frommes Gebet rettete einige noch.

[3] Schenke dein Herz nicht der Welt, und frage einen Betrunknen,Um's wohlthätige Glas, um die Geschichte Dschemschids.

[4] Seelengold ist alles Vermögen, o bringet den Wein her,Daß ich auch diesen verspend', süßeren Lohnes gewiß.

[5] Glücklich ist das Reich, und gnädig unser Beherrscher,Vor den Gefahren der Zeit schirme, beschütz' ihn o Herr!

[6] Seines Dieners Gesang entström' den Kehlen bei'm Weine,Glänzende Perlen verleih'n Gläsern den herrlichsten Glanz.

[7] Ist das Frühmal vorbei, so hat es nichts zu bedeuten,O ihr Freunde des Freund's brechet die Fasten mit Wein!

[8] Gerne verhüllt dein edeler Sinn die Fehler mit Schleiern,Zürne mir nicht, denn mein Herz ist von zu leichtem Gehalt.

[9] Wahrlich ich fürchte mit Recht, es geh'n am Tag' des GerichtesEinstens Hand in Hand Trinker und Scheiche den Weg.

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 .

To the physician ,not the confidant ,the state of a hidden pain .

In the shelter of the one ineffable name of God is the seal having the quality of a Sulaiman .

[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 .

O sage do not a deed ,that bringeth penitence .

Saying : Verily ,joined to me is luminosity as a guest .

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

[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 .

[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 .

[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.

[7] Hafis wirf weg das woll'ne Kleid, O wirf es in das Feuer, Denn hinter Karawanen her Bin ich mit Weh gekommen.

[1] گر چه ما بندگان پادشهیم
پادشاهان ملک صبحگهیم

[2] گنج در آستین و کیسه تهی
جام گیتی نما و خاک رهیم

[3] هوشیار حضور و مست غرور
بحر توحید و غرقه گنهیم

[4] شاهد بخت چون کرشمه کند
ماش آیینه رخ چو مهیم

[5] شاه بیدار بخت را هر شب
ما نگهبان افسر و کلهیم

[6] گو غنیمت شمار صحبت ما
که تو در خواب و ما به دیده گهیم

[7] شاه منصور واقف است که ما
روی همت به هر کجا که نهیم

[8] دشمنان را ز خون کفن سازیم
دوستان را قبای فتح دهیم

[9] رنگ تزویر پیش ما نبود
شیر سرخیم و افعی سیهیم

[10] وام حافظ بگو که بازدهند
کرده‌ای اعتراف و ما گوهیم

[1] Although ,apparently ,the slaves of the King are we ,
By weeping and wailing Kings of the country of the morning when prayers are answered are we .

[2] Treasure in the sleeve and empty ,the purse ,
The cup ,world - displaying ,and the dust of the Path of tarikat are we .

[3] Sensible of the presence of God and intoxicated with pride ,
The ocean of unity and yet like the drowned one of sin are we .

[4] The mistress of fortune ,when she glanceth ,
The mirror of her moon - like face ,are we .

[5] Every night ,of the King of vigilant Fortune ,
The care - taker of the diadem and of the crown are we .

[6] Say Our blessing reckon plunder
For in sleep thou art and ,in the eye sentry - place are we .

[7] The King ,Mansur ,is acquainted with this ,that we
Wherever the face of resolution ,we place

[8] Make for enemies the shroud of blood and
Give to friends the kaba of victory .

[9] Not before us ,may be the hue of deceit ;
Either ,the ruddy tawny lion ; or the black deadly snake ,are we .

[10] The debt of due to Hafiz say that they should give back to him
The debt thou hast confessed witnesses ,are we .

[1] Wiewohl wir des Kaisers Diener sind, So sind wir doch Kaiser des Morgentrunks,

[2] Im Aermel der Schatz! der Sack geleert! Der Spiegel der Welten! der Staub des Wegs!

[3] Gesättigt von Lust, berauscht mit Stolz, Versink ich in Sünden in Einigkeit!

[4] So oft mich der Freund des Glücks liebkos't, So spiegelt in mir er sein Mondgesicht,

[5] An jeglichem Abend flehen wir Als Hüter der Krone des Schahs zu Gott.

[6] O rechne mein Streben dir zum Glück, Ich war indessen du schlafen liegst,

[7] Der siegende Schah, er weiß es wohl, Wohin ich gewendet des Muths Gesicht

[8] Den Feinden aus Blut ein Leichentuch! Den Freunden das rühmliche Kleid des Siegs!

[9] Ich berge mich nicht in Heuchelei, Ich sag', daß ich Schlange und Löwe bin,

[10] O gebet Hafisen doch zurück Den Glauben, gestehet den Diebstahl ein.

German Translation

[1] هر آن کو خاطر مجموع و یار نازنین دارد
سعادت همدم او گشت و دولت همنشین دارد

[2] حریم عشق را درگه بسی بالاتر از عقل است
کسی آن آستان بوسد که جان در آستین دارد

[3] دهان تنگ شیرینش مگر ملک سلیمان است
که نقش خاتم لعلش جهان زیر نگین دارد

[4] لب لعل و خط مشکین چو آنش هست و اینش هست
بنازم دلبر خود را که حسنش آن و این دارد

[5] به خواری منگر ای منعم ضعیفان و نحیفان را
که صدر مجلس عشرت گدای رهنشین دارد

[6] چو بر روی زمین باشی توانایی غنیمت دان
که دوران ناتوانی‌ها بسی زیر زمین دارد

[7] بلاگردان جان و تن دعای مستمندان است
که بیند خیر از آن خرمن که ننگ از خوشه چین دارد

[8] صبا از عشق من رمزی بگو با آن شه خوبان
که صد جمشید و کیخسرو غلام کمترین دارد

[9] و گر گوید نمی‌خواهم چو حافظ عاشق مفلس
بگوییدش که سلطانی گدایی همنشین دارد

[1] Every one ,who ,his heart collected and the beloved acceptable hath
Happiness became his fellow - companion and fortune ,his fellow - sitter ,he hath .

[2] Much more lofty than reason is the court of the fold of love
That threshold ,that one kisseth who ,his life in his sleeve ,hath .

[3] O beloved thy small sweet mouth is perchance Sulaiman's seal
For ,the world beneath the seal - stone ,the picture of the seal of its ruby lip hath .

[4] The ruby lip and the musky hair ,when His is that the lip and His is this the hair
Of my Heart - ravisher ,I boast ; because this and that ,His beauty hath .

[5] O opulent one with contempt ,regard not the weak and the poor
For ,the chief seat of honour ,the poor Fakir ,the road - sitter hath .

[6] When thou art on the surface of the land yet living regard powerfulness plunder take profit of it be not careless
For ,beneath the surface of the land in the grave many a non - powerful one Time hath .

[7] The turner aside of calamity from the soul and the body ,is the prayer of the poor :
Who experienceth good ,who ,from that harvest ,shame of the poor corngleaner hath

[8] O breeze utter a secret of my love to the sovereign of the lovely ones ,
Who ,as the meanest slave ,a hundred mighty Jamshids and Kay - Khusraus hath .

[9] If he the beloved say A poor lover like Hafiz I desire not
Speak ye to him ,saying Imperial sway ,the beggar ,road - sitter hath .

[1] Es ist gewiß, wer den Sinn Im Freund versammelt hat, Das gute Glück zur Folgemagd Und zur Gefährtinn hat.

[2] Weit höher ist, als der Verstand, Der Liebe Kabinet, Die Thüre küßt nur, wer die Seel In seinem Aermel hat.

[3] Es ist der Mund des Freund's vielleicht Das Siegel Salomons, Das unter des Rubinens Macht Die Welt zu Diensten hat.

[4] Mein Freund hat einen Moschusflaum, Und Lippen wie die Gluth, Ich will dem Schönen schmeicheln fein, Der dies und jenes hat.

[5] Wohlhabender, die Armen schau' Nicht mit Verachtung an; Indem der Ehren erster Platz Viel arme Sitzer hat.

[6] Weil du noch auf der Erde bist, Benütz' Gelegenheit, Indem das Grab unendlich viel Unnützer Zeiten hat.

[7] Es schirmt von Uebeln Seel' und Leib Der Armen Herzgebet, Indeß, wer sich vor Armen schämt, Kein gutes Ende hat.

[8] O sprich von meiner Liebe doch Zum Schah der Schönen Ost! Zu ihm, der Keichosrew, Dschemschid Zu seinen Dienern hat.

[9] Sagt er, ich will nicht, daß in mich Hafis verliebet sey, So sage, daß die Bettler selbst Der Fürst zu Freunden hat.

که سر به کوه و بیابان تو داده‌ای ما را

تفقدی نکند طوطی شکرخا را

[3] غرور حسنت اجازت مگر نداد ای گل
که پرسشی نکنی عندلیب شیدا را

[4] به خلق و لطف توان کرد صید اهل نظر
به بند و دام نگیرند مرغ دانا را

[5] ندانم از چه سبب رنگ آشنایی نیست
سهی قدان سیه چشم ماه سیما را

[6] چو با حبیب نشینی و باده پیمایی
به یاد دار محبان بادپیما را

[7] جز این قدر نتوان گفت در جمال تو عیب
که وضع مهر و وفا نیست روی زیبا را

[8] در آسمان نه عجب گر به گفته حافظ
سرود زهره به رقص آورد مسیحا را

[1] O breeze with softness speak to the beautiful fawn the murshid
Saying Thou hast given to us desire for the mountain and the desert the hardship and pain of separation

[4] By beauty of disposition ,people of vision one can captivate
Not by snare and net ,take they the wise bird .

[5] I know not why the colour of constancy ,they have not
Those straight of stature ,dark of eye ,moon of face the prophets in the garden of the shar'

[6] O murshid when thou sittest with the beloved Muhammad and drinkest wine the acquisition of divine bounty
Bring to mind the beloved ones ,wind - measuring astoniedand bewildered

[7] Of defect in thy beauty ,one cannot speak save to this degree
That the way of love and of constancy belongeth not to the lovely face .

[8] On the sky ,what if ,of Hafiz's utterances
Zuhra's singing should bring to dancing the Masiha Christ

[1] Sage Morgenwind mit SchmeichelnJener lieblichen Gaselle,Auf die Berge, in die WüstenHat die Liebe mich getrieben.

[2] Warum frägt der Zuckerhändler(Herr erhalte ihm das Leben)Warum frägt er nicht ums WohlseynSeines Zucker Papageyes?

[3] Wisse Rose dir geziemt esNicht so stolz zu seyn, auf SchönheitDaß aus Stolz du nach der irrenNachtigall nicht einmal fragest.

[4] Nur mit guter Art und WeiseWirst du den Geliebten fangen,Denn es gehen kluge VögelNicht ins Netz und in die Schlinge.

[5] Wer belehrt mich, warum dieseDunkeln Augen, hohe FormenDiese vollen MondsgesichterMir so gar nicht hold seyn wollen!

[6] Wenn du bey dem Liebchen sitzestWein an seiner Seite trinkest,O erinnre dich der Freunde,Die umher gleich Winden irren.

[7] Deiner Schönheit fänd' ich wahrlichGar nichts anders auszusetzen,Als daß insgemein die SchönenNichts von Treu' und Liebe wissen. Für den Umgang mit den Freunden,Für die Gunst des Glückes dankbar,Sey auch eingedenk der Fremden,Die durch Heid' und Wüsten streifen.

[8] Was ists Wunder wenn im Himmel,Durch Hafisens Lied gewecket,Zu dem Lautenspiele Suhre'sDer Messias Reigen tanzet?

ببین که جام زجاجی چه طرفه‌اش بشکست

[3] بیار باده که در بارگاه استغنا
چه پاسبان و چه سلطان چه هوشیار و چه مست

[4] از این رباط دودر چون ضرورت است رحیل
رواق و طاق معیشت چه سربلند و چه پست

[5] مقام عیش میسر نمی‌شود بی‌رنج
بلی به حکم بلا بسته‌اند عهد الست

[6] به هست و نیست مرنجان ضمیر و خوش می‌باش
که نیستیست سرانجام هر کمال که هست

[7] شکوه آصفی و اسب باد و منطق طیر
به باد رفت و از او خواجه هیچ طرف نبست

[8] به بال و پر مرو از ره که تیر پرتابی
هوا گرفت زمانی ولی به خاک نشست

[9] زبان کلک تو حافظ چه شکر آن گوید
که گفته سخنت می‌برند دست به دست

[1] Blossomed is the red rose and intoxicated is the nightingale
And given is the invitation to merriment O Lovers ,wine - worshipping

[2] The foundation of penitence that ,firm as a rock ,appeared ,
How the crystal cup of wine hath shattered it ,behold

[3] Bring wine for ,in the Court of the Independent One God
Whether the humble shepherd or the lofty Sultan whether sensible or insensible what matter

[4] Since there is necessity for departing from this Inn of two doors this world ,one door of birth ,the other door of death
The gallery and the arch the mode of thy living ,whether lofty in ease or low in calamity what matter

[5] Unattainable ,is the place of ease without toil
Yes with the decree of calamity they Fate and Destiny established the day of Alast .

[6] Grieve neither at existence nor at non - existence Be thy mind ,happy .
For the end of every perfection that is is non - existence .

[7] The pomp of being an Asaf ,the wind - steed ,and the language of birds
All went to the /wind of destruction and from them ,the khvvaja obtained no profit .

[8] With the wing of wealth and the feather of rankj go not in pride from the Path and be not fascinated with thy own frail life For ,the arrow far flying
Keepeth loftily the air awhile but ,at last ,lieth low in the dust .

[9] Hafiz What thanks ,uttereth the tongue of thy eloquent reed for the reason that
They take in joy the utterance of its speech from hand to hand

[3] Er bringet Wein, denn vor dem Thron Der unsern Wunsch erhöret, Gilt Weiser gleich, und Trunkenbold Und Fürst und Wächter.

[4] Da ich einmal verlassen muß Dies Gasthaus mit zwey Pforten, So gilt es gleich, mein Lebenslauf Sey hoch, sey niedrig.

[5] Es ist nicht möglich ohne Gram Und ohne Leid zu leben, Denn an dem Tag des Looses ward Uns Leid beschieden.

[6] Um Seyn und Nichtseyn sorg' dich nicht, Sey immer frohen Herzens, Das Ende jeder Treflichkeit Ist die Vernichtung.

[7] Die Pracht, Aßaff, der Ostwindgaul, Der Vögelsprache Kunde, Ist alles in den Wind zerstiebt, Und nützte nichts dem Herrn.

[8] Du schwing' dich vom geraden Weg Nicht in die Luft mit Flügeln, Der Pfeil fliegt in die Höh', und fällt Alsdann zur Erde.

[9] Wie kann die Zunge deines Kiels Dafür Hafisen danken, Daß deine Worte stets von Mund Zu Munde fliegen.
