The ghazal

Into the curve of that doubled tress , the hand one cannot put

O true Beloved reliance on Thy covenant and the morning breeze , one cannot make . *** Whatever is due to effort , I do in search of Thee

This is the extent that alteration of Fate , one cannot make . *** With a hundred draughts of the heart's blood the true Beloved's skirt fell to my hand

For the great reproach that the enemy maketh , release of the true Beloved's skirt one cannot make . *** One cannot call His the true Beloved's cheekfor instance the moon of the sky

Likening of the true Beloved to every headless and footless one one cannot make . *** That moment when my lofty cypress the true Beloved cometh into the assembly of Sama' ,

What place is it where the soul's garment , rent one cannot make *** What shall I say For delicacy of gentle disposition , Thine

Is to such a degree that , slowly , a prayer one cannot make . *** Only one of pure vision can behold the true Beloved's face

For save with purity in the mirror , glance one cannot make . *** Jealousy became mine that Thou art the Beloved of the world . But what can I do

Day and night , conflict with the creatures of God , one cannot make . *** The difficulty of love is not in according to the capacity of our knowledge

With this thought , the loosening of this subtlety of love mistake one cannot make . *** Save Thy eye - brow , naught is the prayer - arch of Hafiz's heart

In our religious order , save to Thee , devotion one cannot make . ***
