At the head of Jamshid's cup ,...

At the head of Jamshid's cup , at that time thy glance , thou canst make ,

When the dust of the wine - house , the collyrium of thy eye , thou canst make . *** Without wine and the minstrel , be not* beneath the sky's arch this world For ,

Within melody , grief from out of thy heart depart thou canst make . *** The rose of thy object openeth the veil at that time ,

When , like the morning breeze , its service thou canst make . *** Advance a step for travelling to love's stage ,

For , profits , thou mayest make if this journey thou canst make . *** Come . For , the remedy of the delight of love and of the presence of the true Beloved and of the order of affairs ,

By the bounty giving of one possessed of vision thou canst make . *** Neither veil nor screen , hath the beauty of the true Beloved . But ,

Lay aside the dust of the path of thy existence so that glance at the true Beloved thou canst make . *** Thou that goest not forth from the house of nature the body

How passage to the street of Hakikat , is it that thou canst make . *** Beggary in the tavern is the wonderful elixir ,

If thou do this work , stone into gold , thou canst make . *** O heart if thou gain knowledge of the light of austerity ,

Abandoning of life , like the laughing consuming candle thou canst make . *** But as long as thou desirest the lip of the illusory beloved woman and the cup of morning wine ,

Think not that other work , thou canst make . *** Hafiz if thou hear this royal counsel ,

Passage to the highway of Tarikat thou canst make . ***
