In the morning - time , me the opportunity of drinking one or two cups of manifestations of glories had befallen

And into my palate from the lip of the SakI whose quality is discourse wine delight - giving had fallen . *** With the lovely one of lusty youth's time , again , through intoxication ,

I desired restitution of conjugal rights . But divorce from youth's time had fallen . *** I established the idea saying Apart from that intoxicated eye , I will take the corner of retirement

From the curve of his eye - brow arch like a terrible bow my power of patience had fallen . *** interpreter of dreams give glad tidings . For , last night , to me , the sun ,

In the sweetness of the morning sleep , as an ally had fallen . *** In the stages of tarikat , wherever we travelled ,

In glance - playing , ease , separation had befallen . *** If , through liberality , the king had not been Yahi Nasratu - d - Din ,

From order and peace , the work of the country and of religion had fallen . *** O SakI momently , give the cup . For , in the travelling of the Path ,

Who lover - like was not , into hyprocrisy had fallen . *** That moment when Hafiz wrote this agitated verse ,

Into the snare of longing desire , the bird of his thought had fallen . ***
