Inclination for the sward , the cypress of my sward the Beloved wherefore maketh not

The fellow - companion of the rose , wherefore becometh not Memory of the lily wherefore ~ maketh not *** Until , into the curl of His tress , went my foolish heart ,

On account of that long journey to the next world the resolution of visiting its native land , it my heart of itself maketh not . *** O true Beloved in hope of union with Thee , the fellow - companion of the soul , my heart is not

In desire of Thy street , the service of the body , my soul maketh not . *** Submissiveness , before the bow of His eye - brow , I keep displaying but ,

Ear - drawn it is . Therefore , for me , the ear of attention He maketh not . *** To the Beloved I complained last night of the tyranny of His tress . By way of regret

He spake saying To me , the ear of attention this black curly tress maketh not . *** When with the wind , the dark violet tress becometh full of twist

Alas of that time of curl of Thy tress what recollection is it that my heart maketh not . *** If my Saki the true Beloved of silver leg giveth naught but dregs poison

The body all mouth , like the wine - cup , who is there that maketh not . *** The breeze became perfume - giver . Wherefore is it that Thy pure skirt ,

The dust of the violet - bed , the musk of Khutan , maketh not . *** Notwithstanding all this perfume of Thy skirt , in respect of the wind , wonder cometh to me ,

That , by Thy passing , the dust , the musk of Khutan , it the wind maketh not . *** Against my honour , exercise no tyranny for the bounty of the cloud ,

Without the aid of my tears , the pearl of 'Adn maketh not . *** Not listening to counsel heart given to Thee Hafiz was slain by Thy glance :

Fit is the sword of destruction for him , who the comprehension of speech of counsel maketh not . ***
