[1]  My heart ,in desire of the face of Farrukh ,
Is in confusion like the dishevelled hair of Farrukh .

[2]   Save the black Hindu slave of his tress ,is none ,
That enjoyed prosperity from the face of Farrukh .

[3]   The black tress pf good fortune is that which ever
Is the fellow - traveller and the fellowknee - sitter of Farrukh .

[4]   Like the trembling aspen ,becometh the cypress of the garden ,
If it see the heart - alluring stature of Farrukh .

[5]   O Saki give wine of arghavan hue
To the memory of the eye of sorcery of Farrukh .

[6]   Bent like a bow ,became my stature
From grief continuous as the eyebrow of Farrukh .

[7]   The breeze of the musk of Tatar ,ashamed made
The perfume of the tress of ambergris of

[8]   If to a place ,be the inclination of any one's heart ,
The inclination of my heart is towards the grace of Farrukh .

[9]   I am the slave of resolution of that one who is
Like Hafiz ,the attendant of the black tress of Farrukji .

[1]  Mein Herz verlangt nach dem Gesicht Farruch's,Es ist verwirret wie das Haar Farruch's,

[2]  Ich nehme aus sein Hindufarbes Haar,Sonst Niemand naht sich dem Gesicht Farruch's,

[3]  O dreymal glücklich ist er, dieser Schwarze,Er, der Begleiter und Gefährt' Farruch's,

[4]  Wie Weiden zittert die Cypreß' im Garten,Sobald sie sieht den hohen Wuchs Farruch's

[5]  Gieb mir den safranfarben Wein, o Schenke,Zum Angedenken der Narziß' Farruch's.

[6]  Aus Gram hat sich mein Leib gekrümmt zum Bogen,Zum Bogen wie die Augenbraun' Farruch's,

[7]  Den Moschushauch vom Tartarland beschämet,Der Hauch des Ambradufts vom Haar Farruch's.

[8]  Wenn jedes Herz sich neigt nach einer Seite,So neiget meines sich ganz zu Farruch.

[9]  Ich diene gern dem hohen Geist von Jenem,Der wie Hafis sich nennt ein Sklav Farruch's.

[1]  Happy is the breeze ,ambergris be - perfumed ,a perfumed pastile ,desired of heart ,
That ,in desire of thee ,arose early the morning

[2]   O bird of auspicious face the murshid ,perfect ,excellent the road - guide be
For ,from desire of the dust of that court of God water hath become my eye .

[3]   In recollection of my slender person ,that is immersed in the blood of grief of the heart ,
The new slender crescent moon ,from the quarter of the ruddy crepuscule ,they regard .

[4]   That one am I who ,without thee ,breathe .What shame
Perchance ,thou mayst pardon .If not ,the excuse for sin is what

[5]   In love's path ,from thy friends ,learned
The dawn ,that desire rent the black under - garment .

[6]   In love for thy roseate face ,one day when ,from this world ,I depart ,
From my tomb ,the red rose in place of green herbage ,shall blossom .

[7]   For me Hafiz give not grief access to thy tender heart
For ,this moment ,thy Hafiz himself uttered bismi - llah and in death departed

[1]  Wie glücklich ist des Ostes Ambraroß! Früh steht er auf voll von Begier nach dir.

[2]  O schön beschwingter Vogel zeig' den Weg. Mein Aug' zerfloß aus Sehnsucht nach dem Staub.

[3]  Ich schwimm' im Blut, und meiner eingedenk Betrachtet man den neuen Mond mit Huld.

[4]  Ich lebe ohne dich, o pfui der Schaam! Vielleicht verzeihst du mir, wie thät ich's sonst.

[5]  Der Morgen hat von deinem Freund gelernt, Deßhalb zerreißet er der Wolken Kleid.

[6]  Aus Liebe deiner Wangen werden einst Auf meinem Grab statt Gräsern Rosen blüh'n.

[7]  O schmähle mich nicht aus du zarter Sinn, Im Namen Gottes hat's Hafis gesagt.

[1]  From us ,wherefore seeketh thou peace ,when ,to the intoxicated ,an invitation we uttered
At the revolution of thy intoxicated eye ,farewell to safety we uttered .

[2]   Open me the door of the wine - house of love and drink wine that divine mysteries may be revealed to thee for ,from the monastery ,naught is revealed
If thine be belief of my word if not ,this was the speech ,we uttered .

[3]   O Saki by thy eye ,ruined intoxicated I have fallen .But ,
A calamity that cometh from the friend ,to it ,a thousand welcomes we uttered .

[4]   If me thou forgive not ,thou wilt at last suffer regret ,
In thy heart ,keep this matter ,where a complaint in thy service we uttered

[5]   We said Thy stature is the lofty box - tree much shame it bringeth to fruit
To the box - tree this similarity why made we and this calumny why is it that we uttered

[6]   Like a bloody musk - pod ,blood became my liver and for me was fit not less than this ,
Its requital because ,in comparison with His glorious ,beperfumed tress the word of the mean musk of Chin by mistake ,we uttered .

[7]   O Hafiz fire through grief of separation thou hast become but ,with the true Beloved ,it took no effect
From infidelity to the covenant of the rose ,thou mayst say the tale to the wind we uttered .

[1]  Was suchest du bei uns das Heil? Bewillkommt haben wir die Trunkenen, Wir haben zur Narzißenzeit Zu deinem Heil Gebete hergesagt.

[2]  Ich steh' am Schenkenthor, mach auf! Das Kloster hat uns wahrlich nichts genützt. Glaub' oder nicht, dies ist das Wort, Das wir so oft dir haben vorgesagt.

[3]  Es hat o Schenke! mich dein Aug' Zerstört, ich bin verwüstet und dahin! Dem Unglück, das vom Freunde kam, Hab' ich mit Lust Willkommen hergesagt.

[4]  Wenn du dich meiner nicht erbarmst, So wirst du einst bereuen deine That, Bewahre stets in dem Gemüth, Was deinem Dienst zu Liebe ich gesagt.

[5]  Ich sprach ein Buchsbaum ist dein Wuchs, Deß schämte sich vor mir der traute Freund, Er sprach: Was soll denn der Vergleich, Welch' eine Kinderey hast du gesagt.

[6]  Mein ganzes Herz ist voll von Blut, Wie Blasen, die der reine Moschus füllt, Und dies ist Strafe, wohl verdient, Weil ich von krummen Locken hab' gesagt.

[7]  Hafis du wurdest zwar zur Gluth, Jedoch ergreift sie deine Freundinn nicht, Ich habe von der Rose Thun, Dem Ostwind die Geschichte hergesagt.

[1]  To the true Beloved I said O Sultan of lovely ones show pity to this poor stranger
He said In the desire of his own heart ,loseth his way the wretched stranger .

[2]   To Him ,I said Pass awhile with me .He replied Hold me excused .
A home delicately nurtured one ,what care beareth he for such griefs of the poor stranger

[3]   To the gently nurtured one ,asleep on the royal ermine ,what grief ,
If ,should make the couch of thorn and ,the pillow of the hard stone ,the poor stranger .

[4]   O thou in the chain of whose tress ,are the souls of so many lovers ,
Happily ,fell that musky mole ,on thy coloured cheek ,so strange .

[5]   In the colour of the moon - like face ,appeareth the reflection of wine of love or of unity
Like the leaf of the ruddy Arghavan on the surface of the wild red rose ,strange .

[6]   Strangely hath fallen that ant - line the down around thy face
Yet ,in the picture gallery of Arzhang the musky line of shading is not strange .

[7]   I said O thou tress of night - hue the attraction of grace the evening shelter of the stranger
In the morning time ,beware ,if his need bewail this stranger .

[8]   He said Hafiz at my beauty friends are in the stage of astonishment
Far from wonder it is not ,if shattered and wretched sitteth the stranger .

[1]  Ich sprach zu dem Schah der Schönen:Erbarme dich dieses Fremden,Er sagte: wohl mögen im SinnVerirren sich die Fremden.

[2]  Ich sagte: Verweil' ein wenig,Er sprach: halt' mich entschuldigt;Was kümmert uns Kinder vom HausDer Gram von solchen Fremden!

[3]  Wer königlich hingebettetAuf Hermelinen lieget,Der kennet nicht Kissen aus Stein,Das Dornenbett des Fremden.

[4]  O du, in den Ketten dessenSo viele Freunde schmachten,Es schickt sich das Maal zum Gesicht'Gar schön gleich einem Fremden.

[5]  Auf deinem Gesicht erscheinetDer Widerglanz des Weines,Wie Purpurblüh lieblich erscheinetAuf der Narziß’ der Fremden.

[6]  Es scheinen die feinen HaareAuf deinen Wangen fremde,Doch sollte auf Sina's GemäldenDer Haarstrich nicht befremden.

[7]  Ich sprach zu dem Abend: schwarz istDein Haar, dem Fremde huldigen,Mit Rechte beklagen sich dannZur Morgenzeit die Fremden.

[8]  Es sprach zu sich selbst der DichterBekannte werden irre;So minder dann darf dich befremdenDer Gram und Schmerz der Fremden.

[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 .
