To our friend Muhammad in beauty of disposition and of fidelity , one reacheth not

In this matter , to thee , denial of our work reacheth not . *** By the right of ancient society I swear that any mystery confidant

To our friend , of one way sincere thank - offering , reacheth not . *** Although , into splendour , have come beauty - boasters the prophets , the leaders of the people , the guides of the path

To our beloved Muhammad , whose beauty was the world's boast in beauty and grace , one reacheth not . *** To the market of created beings , they Fate and Destiny bring a thousand coins

To the die of our master of assay , one coin reacheth not . *** From the Creator's reed , issue a thousand pictures and one

To the degree of approval of the picture of our idol Muhammad reacheth not . *** O heart grieve not of the reproach of the envious and be firm

For , to our hopeful heart , evil reacheth not . *** Alas the Kafila of life manifestations of glories passed in such a way ,

That , to the air of our far distant country , its dust reacheth not . *** So live that if thou die and become the dust of the path , to any one ,

From our way of life a particle of dust of grief of the heart reach not . *** Hafiz consumed and I fear that the explanation of his tale

To the ear of the powerful King reacheth not . ***
