He, who always keeps his trust...

He, who always keeps his trust in the One

The One keeps all evils from him apart and gone.

I will not tell the tale of a friend, save to a friend

For it is a friend who keeps a friend’s word anon.

O heart make your living so that if you slip

The Angels will hold your upraised hands to the sun.

And if you want the Beloved not to break His oath

Keep your oath such that the chain won’t come undone.

And if one day upon that lock you see my heart,

Ask for His mercy, to keep my place, give to none.

When I asked him to keep my heart, replied

Ask the Father in Heaven, I am a helpless son.

My health and wealth, heart and soul, I give for Thee

May god keep compassion in my heart, always won.

Where is the dust of thy path, so Hafiz keep

In memory of the morning breeze’s gentle run.
