The ghazal

Wine and hidden pleasure love what are they Baseless work .

On the ranks of our own profligates the murshids we dashed and joined them What is fit to be be *** Unloose the heart's knot of thought and of hesitation and think not of the sky

For such a knot , the thought of no geometrician hath loosed . *** At Time's changes , wonder not . For the sphere

Recollecteth many a thousand tales of sorcery of this kind *** With respect learning and knowledge take the goblet . For its composition

Is of the dust of the skull of Jamshid , of Bahman , and of Kubad . *** Where K'a , us and Kay went , who is informed

How Jamshid's throne went to the wind of destruction who is informed *** From passion for Shirin's lip , yet I see

That , from the blood of Farhad's eye , the tulip blossometh . *** Come come so that , awhile , with wine of love ruined effaced and non - existent we may become

Perchance by means of love to that great fortune union with the true Beloved we may , in the stage of effacement in this ruined place the world , the field of the first , and the last , world reach . *** Perchance the tulip knew Time's unfaithfulness

For , since she was born and become , from out of her hand she hath not placed the cup of wine . *** For wandering and journeying , me , permission give not

The breeze of Musalla's dust , and the water of Ruknabad . *** In grief of love for Him , to my soul hath reached what hath reached

To his soul , let not Time's eye - wound reach *** If from the hand , I put not down the cup , carp not at me

For , purer than this cup to me no companion hath appeared . *** Like Hafiz , take riot the cup save to the sonnd of the harp

For , to the silk cord of joy , they have bound the glad heart . ***
