The ghazal

Saki the tale of the cypress and the rose and the tulip goeth .

And with the three washers cups of wine this dispute goeth . *** Drink wine for the new bride of the sward hath found beauty's limit is perfect in beauty

Of the trade of the broker , the work of this tale goeth . *** Sugar - shattering verse of Hafiz devouring have become all the parrots poets of Hindustan ,

On account of this Farsi candy sweet Persian ode that to Bangal goeth . *** In the path of verse , behold the travelling of place and of time

This child ode of one night , the path of travel of one year to Bangal goeth . *** That eye of sorcery of the beloved 'Abid fascinating behold

How , in its rear , the Karvan of sorcery goeth . *** Sweat expressed , the beloved proudly moveth and , on the face of the white rose ,

The sweat drops of night dew from shame of his the beloved's face goeth . *** From the path , go not to the world's blandishments . For this old woman

Sitteth a cheat ; and a bawd , she goeth . *** Be not like Samiri , who beheld gold and , from assishness ,

Let go Musa and , in pursuit of the golden calf , goeth . *** From the king's garden , the spring - wind bloweth

And within the tulip's bowl , wine from dew goeth . *** Of love for the assembly of the Sultan Ghiyasu - d - Din , Hafiz

Be not silent . For , from lamenting , thy work goeth . ***
