The ghazal

Who is that one , who , by way of manliness , fidelity with me will make

Who in respect of an ill - doer like me , once a good deed will make *** First , to the sound of the harp and of the reed x me , His the true Beloved's message , he will bring

Then , with a measure of wine , fidelity with me , he will make . *** The Heart - ravisher , for whom my soul withered by whom , the desire of my heart opened not

Of Him , one cannot be hopeless . Perchance , loving kindness , He may make . *** I said : So long as I have been Thy lover I have not loosed a knot from that Thy tress

He said I have ordered it the tress With thee , readiness in having its knots unloosed it shall make . *** O Murshid the wool - wearer , sullen of disposition the hypocrite , captive to lust , in whom love hath no part hath not perceived love's perfume

Of its love's intoxication , utter a hint , that , abandonment of sensibleness and the choosing of the intoxication of love he may make . *** A beggar , ' void of mark , like me A Friend God like that was difficult to obtain

Hidden pleasure with the common bazar - haunter , where doth the great Sultan make *** 'Tis easy if , from that tress , full of twist and turn , I experience tyranny

Of its bond and chain , what grief is that one's , who , coming and going , may make *** Countless , became grief's army . From fortune , I seek aid .

Until , perchance , consolation Fakhru - d - Din Abdu - s - Samad may make . *** Hafiz with this the Beloved's eye full of sorcery , attempt Him not :

For that tress of night hue of His many a deceit shall make . ***
