Happy came the rose and more happy than that aught is not .

For , in thy hand , save the cup of wine aught is not . *** Reckon the season plunder ; and , in the rose - garden , drink wine :

For even till another week , the rose is not . *** Gain , gain , the time of happy heartedness leisure

For , in the shell , ever the jewel wine in the cup , or concordant time is not . *** A wonderful path is love's path . For , there ,

Who uplifteth his head in pride for him head is none . *** If , our fellow student , thou remain , wash white the leaves

For , inscribed in the book , love's art* is not . *** Hear me . Fix thy heart on a mistress ,

Whose beauty bound up with ornaments of jewels is not . *** O Shaikh come into our wine - jar house

Drink a wine that in the paradise - spring of Kausar is not . *** O thou that hast made full of ruby thy golden cup ,

In thanks to God give to that one , to whom gold is not , *** O Lord give me a wine without mixing un - alloyed

Wherewith any head - pain is none . *** In God's name , mine is the idol of silvern body

Such that in Azar's idol - house is not . *** With soul , I am the slave of the Sultan Uvays ,

Although of me the servant , his recollection is none - *** By this crown , world - adorning , I swear that the sun

Like this , an adorner of the diadem is not . *** On Hafiz's soul , taketh exception that one

In whose essence , any grace is none . ***
