Blossomed is the red rose and intoxicated is the nightingale

And given is the invitation to merriment O Lovers , wine - worshipping *** The foundation of penitence that , firm as a rock , appeared ,

How the crystal cup of wine hath shattered it , behold *** Bring wine for , in the Court of the Independent One God

Whether the humble shepherd or the lofty Sultan whether sensible or insensible what matter *** Since there is necessity for departing from this Inn of two doors this world , one door of birth , the other door of death

The gallery and the arch the mode of thy living , whether lofty in ease or low in calamity what matter *** Unattainable , is the place of ease without toil

Yes with the decree of calamity they Fate and Destiny established the day of Alast . *** Grieve neither at existence nor at non - existence Be thy mind , happy .

For the end of every perfection that is is non - existence . *** The pomp of being an Asaf , the wind - steed , and the language of birds

All went to the /wind of destruction and from them , the khvvaja obtained no profit . *** With the wing of wealth and the feather of rankj go not in pride from the Path and be not fascinated with thy own frail life For , the arrow far flying

Keepeth loftily the air awhile but , at last , lieth low in the dust . *** Hafiz What thanks , uttereth the tongue of thy eloquent reed for the reason that

They take in joy the utterance of its speech from hand to hand ***
