O dear friends of the friend o...

O dear friends of the friend of the night ,- bring ye to mind

The duties of sincere service , bring ye to mind . *** At intoxication's time , of the weeping and the wailing of lovers ,

To the sound of the melody of the harp and of the cymbal , bring ye to mind . *** When to the object's waist , ye bring the hand of hope ,

Of the covenant of our society in the midst , bring ye to mind . *** When in the Saki's face , wine's reflection displayeth splendour ,

Of lovers , with song and melody , bring ye to mind . *** O beloved ones a moment , suffer ye no grief for the faithful ones

Of the unfaithfulness of Time's revolution , bring ye to mind . *** If Fortune's bay steed impetuous be , yet ,

At the time of desire of whipping the steed of fellow - travellers , bring ye to mind . *** O dwellers of the seat of pomp in the way of kindness ,

Of Hafiz's face and of that threshold , bring ye to mind . ***
