O beloved display thy face and...

O beloved display thy face and my existence from my mind take

And the harvest of those consumed , lovers say O wind all take . *** When to the deluge of calamity , we gave our heart and eye ,

Say : Come grief's torrent , and up , from its foundation , our house take . *** Be the fortune wherein is no decline of the Fir of the Magians , because the travelling of the rest is easy .

If another go say Go and out from thy memory for easy is this our name , take . *** His tress , like pure ambergris , who may smell Alas

O heart raw of greed , from thy memory this matter of smelling His tress take . *** After this , together are my yellow grief - stricken face and the dust of the Friend's door

Forth , bring the wine and , altogether , from my memory , grief take . *** Last night , He the Beloved said With my long dark eye - lashes , I will slay thee

O Lord from His heart , the thought of injustice take . *** Tell the heart By thy own great fire slay quench the flame of the great fire - temple of Fars

Tell the eye : By thy great weeping lustre from the face of the mighty Tigris of Baghdad take . *** In this path of divine knowledge effort not borne , thou reachest not to place of rank

If thou seek the reward , the service of the teacher the murshid take . *** On the day of my death , give me , one moment , the promise of seeing Thee

Then to the tomb me , free and independent , take . *** Hafiz think of the delicacy of the true Beloved's heart

From His court , go and this thy wailing and lamenting , take . ***
