Like the swift wind , resolution of going to the head of the true Beloved's street , I will make

By His pleasant perfume , my own breath , musk - raining , I will make . *** Every drop of water of His face that , by knowledge and faith , I collected ,

The scattering of on the dust of the path of that idol God I will make . *** In folly , without wine and the true Beloved , my life passeth

Idleness , mine . After to - day , work in love for Him I will make . *** Where is the breeze the angel of death For this life , blood gathered , like the ruddy , opening rose ,

A sacrifice for the perfume of the true Beloved's tress , I will make . *** Like the wasting candle of the morning through love for the true Beloved , it became evident to me ,

That , in desire of this matter of His love my life , I shall make . *** In memory of Thy eye , myself ruined I will make

The foundation of the ancient covenant , strong I will make . *** Hafiz hypocrisy and dissimulation give not purity of heart

Choice of the path of profligacy and of love , I will make . ***
