From me intoxicated , is the desire of devotion and of covenant , and of rectitude

For , in Eternity without beginning , I became renowned for wine - drinking . *** The very moment when , with the fountain of Love the state of a Lover I performed ablution in the heart's pure blood and from its tablet effaced all exterior to God

I expressed , completely on all that is , four Laudations , ^ Allah Akbar *** Give wine that I may give thee news of the mystery of Fate

By whose face , I became a Lover and by whose perfume , intoxicated . *** Here in God's sight less than the ants' slender waist is the waist of the great mountain of Sin

O wine - worshipper Be not hopeless of the door of God's mercy . *** Save that intoxicated eye the evil eye reach him not

None sate happy beneath this turquoise vault of Heaven *** Be my soul the ransom of Thy mouth For , in the garden of vision ,

The Parterre - arrayer the Creator of the World established no rose - bud more sweet than this rose - bud of a mouth *** Through the fortune of Love for thee , Hafiz became a Sulaiman in grandeur

That is Of Union with thee , he hath naught in hand save wind . ***
