Tis the night of power ; and closed is the book of separation

On that night , is safety to the rising of separation . *** O heart in being a lover , be firm of foot

For , in this path , is no work void of reward . *** Of profligacy , I will not repent me ,

Although , through stone and separation , thou causest torment to reach me . *** Went my heart from the hand yet the beloved's face , I saw not

Of this tyranny , complaint of this reproof , lamentations *** O luminous morning of the heart come forth

For dark indeed , I see the night of separation . *** Hafiz thou desirest fidelity Be endurer of the tyranny and of the grace of the Beloved

Then in traffic , is the verification of profit and of loss . ***
