Through desire of thy lip , forth cometh not my desire yet

In the hope of the cup of thy ruby lip a dreg - drinker am I yet . *** On the first day the day of Alast in desire of thy two tresses , departed my faith

Let us see , in this phrensy , what my end will be yet . *** O Saki perfect Murshid of that water , fire of hue , one draught , give me . For I ,

In the midst of those experienced in His Love , inexperienced am I yet . *** One night , in mistake , I called Thy hair the fragrant musk of Khutan

Momently , a sword on my limbs saying why didst thou liken His glorious hair to contemptible musk the hair striketh yet . *** One day , in mistake , to the true Beloved's lip , went my name

To people of heart , from my name the perfume of the soul of the Beloved cometh yet . *** In my khilvat , a ray of splendour of Thy face , the resplendent sun beheld

Momently , like the shadow , to my door and roof , he the sun goeth yet . *** To us , in eternity without beginning , the Saki gave the ruby of Thy lip

The draught of a cup , of which cup , senseless am I yet . *** O Thou that saidest Give thy soul , that ease of heart may be thine ,

In griefs for Him the true Beloved my soul , I gave . Mine , not ease , is yet . *** The tale of the ruby of Thy lip , Hafiz brought into his pen writing

Momently , from my pens , the water of life floweth yet . ***
