The ghazal

O chaste beloved Who draweth the fastening of the veil of thee

O lovely bird of Paradise grain and water , who giveth thee *** Went sleep from my eye in this liver - consuming thought -

Whose bosom is the dwelling and sleeping place of thee *** Suddenly , from the embrace of me , heart - shattered , thou wentest

Let us see , whose place became the place of rest and of sleep of thee *** The wail and plaint that I made , all thou heardest not

O idol 'tis manifest that lofty is the station of thee . *** The darvish , thou askest not and I fear that there is

Neither thought of his forgiveness , nor care for his punishment , to thee . *** O thou heart - kindling palace that art the dwelling of affection ,

O Lord ruined , let not the calamity of time make thee . *** In this desert of divine knowledge the water pool stage of purpose is far . Keep sense ,

So that the Ghul one outwardly good inwardly bad of the desert , may not , with the mirage , deceive thee . *** The great arrow of a glance that , at my heart , thou castedest , missed

Let us see what designeth the good judgment of thee . *** O heart while in the path of old age , by what way goest thou

In mistake , all at once , became expended the season of youth of thee . *** That eye of intoxication struck and made restless the path of the lover's heart

From this way , 'tis manifest that wine is intoxicated of thee . *** Hafiz is not a slave who fleeth from his master ,

Show a little kindness come back for I am ruined through reproach of thee . ***
