That heart that is the hidden ...

That heart that is the hidden - displayer and that the cup of Jamshid hath ,

For a seal ring of Sulaiman that awhile became lost , what grief is it that it hath *** To the beard or to the mole , of beggars outward lovers , who , before the true Beloved , are like beggars give not the heart's treasure

Give to the hand of a king - like one , who it precious hath holdeth *** Not every tree endureth the violence of autumn :

The slave of resolution of the cypress , I am , who this foot of endurance hath . *** My heart that used to boast of solitude , now a hundred occupations ,

With the morning breeze , on account of the perfume of Thy tress hath . *** Hath arrived that season , when from joy like the intoxicated narcissus ,

He placeth it at the goblet's foot as price for wine who sixdirhams hath . *** The heart's desire of whom may I seek Since there is no heart - possessor ,

Who , splendour of sight , and habit of liberality , hath . *** Now , like the rose hold not back gold for the price of wine

For , suspicion of thee , by a hundred defects , absolute reason Jibra , il or the Light of prophecy hath . *** With the hidden mystery , none is acquainted utter not the tale of the forbidders of wine

The path into this sacred enclosure , what confidant friend of the heart hath . *** From the pocket of Hafiz's religious garment , what profit can one gain

For from him we seek the eternal ; and his own work with a beloved he hath . ***
