If , by my door , that holy bird the true Beloved come back

To me , elderly of head , my passed life may come back . *** With these my tears like rain , I hope that

The lightning of fortune , that departed from my sight , may come back . *** That one the true Beloved the dust of the sole of Whose foot was the crown of my head ,

I will exercise sovereignty , if to me He come back . *** If , precious , I make not the scattering of the true Beloved's foot ,

For what other work , may the jewel of my soul come back *** In pursuit of Him the Beloved I will go and to dear friends ,

If forth from these troubles my person come not , news of me may come back . *** Its preventer is the twang of the harp the talk of Arifs and the sweetness of sleep of morning the carelessness of the careless

If not , if He hear my morning sigh , He may come back . *** From the roof of happiness , I beat the drum of a fresh fortune ,

If I see that to me , the moon of new journey the young moon may come back . *** Desirous of the King's face like the moon , I am Hafiz

A blessing , so that in safety , by my door , He may come back . ***
