The ghazal

Of coins of hearts is it that they Fate and Destiny examination take

So that , the path after their own work , all the cloister - holders Abids of outward worship take *** In my sight , the counsel is that all work , friends

Should let go and , the curl of the tress of a friend God or the murshid take . *** The tip of the Saki's tress , happily the companions take

If the sky permit them , a little rest they take . *** Since the filthy crow hath no shame of planting his horrid foot on the sweet rose ,

It befitteth the bulbuls if as protection the skirt of a great thorn , they take . *** To lovely ones , boast not of the strength of thy arm of chastity

For , among this tribe of lovely ones with a single mounted one , a fortress of chastity they take . *** O Lord how bold for blood are these young bold ones

For , momently , with the arrow of the eye - lash , a great prey , they take . *** To sweet song , and to the reed's voice sweet is the dance

Especially , that dance wherein , a lovely idol's hand , they take . *** So that kuhl for vision , the dust of Thy path , people of vision may make

Generations have passed but , the head of Thy thoroughfare , they take . *** Hafiz no grief for the wretched have the sons of Time Amirs

A path aside from the midst of them the Amirs if possible it is best that they the wretched ones take . ***
