The ghazal

O happy that heart that , ever , after the illusory goeth not ,

To every door whereto they call him not , without notice invitation he goeth not . *** Best for me , not to set desire upon that sweet lip ,

But after sugar , ' what kind of fly goeth not *** Thou , who , from the glory of disposition , art of another world ,

Perchance , from Thy heart , fidelity to the covenant with me , goeth not . *** The blackness of grief's eye , I have experienced . Wash it not with tears

For , from my sight , the picture of Thy mole ever goeth not . *** More black of book sinful than myself , none I see

To the head , like the reed , the smoke sigh of my heart , how is it that it goeth not *** O heart like this , be not a babbler , and one of every place a wanderer

For , from before thee , by this sort of skill , any work goeth not . *** By the lapwing's crown , I conjure thee take me not from the path . For the mighty white falcon ,

On account of pride , in pursuit of every little prey , goeth not . *** Like the wind , withhold not from me Thy perfume

For , to my head , without the desire of Thy tress , it the perfume goeth not . *** On the sin of me intoxicated , put the skirt of Thy pardon

For to this great degree of sin the grace of the shari'at goeth not . *** I the beggar , desire one of cypress - stature ,

Within whose girdle , save for silver and gold , the hand goeth not . *** Bring wine and to Hafiz's hand first give

On the condition that , forth from the assembly , the matter of wine - drinking goeth not . ***
