The ghazal

Save the love of those moon of face , a path my heart taketh not

To it the heart in every way , I give counsel but it kindleth not . *** O counsel - utterer for God's sake , utter the tale of the Saki's writing and abandon counsel - uttering

For , a picture more beautiful than this , our imagination , taketh not . *** Secretly , I drink a goblet of wine and , men think it a book

Wonderful if the book , this hypocrisy's fire kindleth not . *** One day , I shall burn this gilded hypocritical darvish garment ,

Which , for a single cup , the Pir of the wine - sellers taketh not . *** The counsel - utterer of profligates , who hath war with God's decree

His heart , I see much straitened perhaps , the cup he taketh not . *** The pure - players lovers of God have purities with wine , for the reason

That in this jewel , save truthfulness a picture taketh not . *** In the midst of weeping , I laugh . Because , like the candle in this assembly ,

The fiery tongue is mine but , it the tongue it the fire kindleth not . *** The head and the eye of the counsel - utterer with all this goodness Yet thou mayest say Take off thy eye from him and to him go not

Go for in my head , this meaningless counsel - ^ taketh not . *** In respect of our need and of the independence of the true Beloved , is speech

O heart what profit is sorcery , when in the Heart - Ravisher , it taketh not . *** How happily Thou madest prey of my heart Of Thy intoxicated eye , I boast

For , better than this , the wild birds , a person taketh not *** O Benefactor the true Beloved for God's sake , a little pity . For , the darvish of the head of Thy street

Knoweth not another door another Path , taketh not . *** From the Pir of the Magians , I experienced manly favours

The usage garment of hypocrisy , even for a cup of wine he taketh not . *** One day , like Sikandar , I shall bring to hand that dull mirror of the heart

If , even this great fire love for God seize it , for a moment , it the mirror kindleth not . *** For this verse , fresh and sweet , I wonder the King of kings

Why , Hafiz , head to foot in gold , he taketh not . ***
