When , in prayer , to me recollection of the curve of Thy eye - brow came .

Over me such a state passed that , into lament , the prayer - arch came . *** Now from me expect neither patience nor the heart of sense

For that patience , that before thou sawest , to the wind all came . *** Clear , became the wine and intoxicated , became the birds of the sward

The season of being a lover and to foundation , the work came . *** From the world's quarters , I perceive welfare's perfume

Gladness , the rose brought ; and joyous the morning breeze came . *** O bride of skill the holy traveller complain not of fortune for that time , whereof thou complainest , hath passed

Adorn the chamber of beauty thy own existence For the bridegroom , skill understanding , is come . *** O Yusuf of Egypt against Zulaikha , approve not tyranny ,

For the reason that , on her , all this injustice through love came . *** The flowery heart - allurers the rose , the hyacinth , the sweet basil all put on jewels of flowers

Our heart - ravisher , who is with beauty God - given , came . *** Beneath their load , are the trees persons that have attachment to the world

O happy the free cypress persons who free from grief's bond , came . *** Minstrel of Hafiz's utterance , utter a sweet ghazal .

So that I may speak , saying Recollection of Time's joy mine became . ***
