Without the true Beloved's bea...

Without the true Beloved's beauty , inclination for the world , my soul hath not

O God I swear every one who this the Beloved's beauty hath not , that the soul hath not . *** A trace of that Heart - Ravisher , with none , I beheld

No news of him , have I He , a trace hath not . *** From the hand , one cannot give the stage of contentment .

O camel - driver of the East lower the chattels of thy existence and stay for this path of the desert of avarice limit hath not . *** In this path of love , every drop of night dew sin is a hundred fiery waves

Alas explanation , or revelation , this subtlety of love hath not . *** A delight like that , life hath not without the beloved ,

Without the beloved , a delight like that , life hath not . *** O heart from the muhtasib , learn profligacy

Intoxicated , he is ; yet of him this suspicion of intoxication any one hath not . *** If the companion himself be the candle , from him conceal mysteries :

For that bold one , head severed , ligature bridle on his tongue , hath not . *** Him , whom thou callest teacher , if , with verification , thou look ,

Is an artificer but currency , his verse hath not . *** The harp , bent of form , calleth thee to joy

Hearken for any injury to thee , the counsel of old men hath not . *** The circumstances of the treasure of Karun which , to the wind of destruction Time gave .

Utter ye to the rose - bud the miser so that its gold , hidden , it have not . *** A slave like Hafiz , any one in the world hath not .

For , a king like thee , any one in the world hath not . ***
