In the wish that my heart's work should be ended , my soul melted and it became not acquired

In this immature wish , I consumed ; and it the wish became not acquired *** In search of the treasure - mandate of my purpose , justice For ,

I became one altogether ruined in the world and it the mandate became not acquired *** In search of the cash treasure of the true Beloved's presence ,

To the generous , much in beggary I wandered and it the Beloved's presence became not acquired *** With reproach , the Chief of thy Assembly said to me One night , I go to thy Assembly

According to his wish , I became the least of His slaves and it my desire became not acquired *** He the true Beloved gave the message saying I will sit with profligates

In the hope of His society reputation for profligacy and dreg - drinking became mine ; and it my hope became not acquired *** If the pigeon of my heart flutter , it is lawful

For , in its path , it beheld the twist and turn of the snare but it freedom became not acquired *** In that desire that , in intoxication , I may kiss that ruby lip of the true Beloved

What blood of grief it was that , into my heart like a cup , fell and it the lip - kissing became not acquired *** In Love's street , plant not thy foot without the road - guide the murshid

For , I , of myself , made a hundred efforts and it my desire became not acquired *** Out of thought's desire , Hafiz evoked a thousand desires ,

In the desire that that companion the true Beloved may become obedient to him and it his desire became not acquired ***
