The ghazal

On her the beloved's path , I laid my face and by me passing , she made not .

I hoped for a hundred kindnesses yet one glance of kindness she made not . *** O Lord Preserve from the calamity of time that young saucy one the beloved

For caution , against the arrow of the sigh of those sitting in the corner of retirement she made not . *** Malice from her heart , the torrent of our tears , took not

Impression on the hard stone , the rain - drop made not . *** Like the wasting candle , I desired to die at her feet :

Like the morning breeze , passing by us , she made not . *** O soul without sufficiency , stone of heart , is what person ,

Who , the shield before the wound of thy arrow , himself made not . *** Last night , from my lamenting , neither fish nor fowl slept

But behold that one of saucy eye the beloved who , raised from sleep , her head made not . *** O saucy one behold the bird of my heart , wing and feather consumed

Yet go out of my head the crude madness of being a lover , it made not . *** Hafiz thy sweet tale of love is so heart - alluring that

None heard it who , from desire of pleasure , its preservation made not . ***
