O true Beloved display Thy face and to me speak , saying From life thy heart up take

Say Before the candle , with soul , the fire of the moth kindle . *** At our thirsty lip , look and from it water withhold not

To the head of thy slain one thy lover come and him , fronVthis dust of contempt up take . *** The darvish , abandon not , if his be not silver and gold

In grief for thee , this crystal tear , silver reckon and his ruddy face , red gold take . *** Twang the harp and with it be content . If aloe - wood fuel be not , what fear

My love , the fire my heart , the aloe - wood fuel and my body , the censer , take . *** Into sama' , come off from thy head , cast the khirka ; and dance

If not , into the corner of solitude go and on thy head , our khirka of hypocrisy take . *** Off from thy head , draw the wool garment of beggary and the wine of purity , drink

Silver , play spend money and , with gold , into thy embrace one of silver bosom a beloved one take . *** Say , the Friend God is my friend , then be both worlds my enemy

Then say , fortune becometh recreant and all the men of the surface of the land , army taker . *** O Friend the true Beloved for going away , make no desire with us , a moment be

On the rivulet's bank formed of my tears joy , seek and , in thy hand , the cup take . *** Gone from my bosom , this fire of love and water of tears of my heart and eye , take

My hue , yellow with grief my lip , dry with thirst my bosom wet with tears take . *** Hafiz the banquet , adorned make and to the admonisher , speak ,

Saying : My assembly behold and , the path of abandoning the pulpit take . ***
