The morning of ecstatic state ...

The morning of ecstatic state blossometh ; and the cloud bindeth a veil obscuring the sun of truth

O companions the morning cup the morning cup *** From the trickling cloud the hail of death droppeth on the face of the tulip people of the world

O companions the wine of love the wine of love *** From the sward the society of the murshid bloweth the breeze of Paradise God's blessing

Then , ever drink pure wine ask for God's blessing *** In the sward , the rose the murshid causing bounty to arrive hath fixed its emerald throne

Get wine ruddy and fiery like the fiery ruby *** Again , they have closed the door of manifestations of the tavern the heart and the brain

O Opener of doors God open *** At such a time , 'tis wonderful

That hastily they close the tavern . *** Rights of salt , thy ruby lip

Hath against the wound of roast - hearts that have gathered salt from thy lip *** O zahid drink wine of freedom from the work and care of the world like the profligate

O ye wise ones fear God . *** If thou seek the trace of the water of life ,

Seek the sweet wine of love to the sound of the harp for the lovers of God are ever living *** If , like Sikandar , thou seek life in ease and in joy

Get the ruby lip mysterious of utterance of the true Beloved . *** To the cheek memory of the Saki of Par form ,

Drink the pure wine of truth in the season of the rose . *** Hafiz suffer no grief . For fortune , the beloved

Uplifteth in the end the veil of hindrance to thy desire from off his face . ***
