The ghazal

Ravished is my heart by one like a singing girl , clamour - exciter ,

False of promise , slayer by nature , and colour of deceit mixer . *** A ransom for the rent garment of those of moon - face , be

A thousand garments of piety and the khirka of austerity *** In thanks for that that , in beauty , thou tookest from the glorious angel the ball of superiority ,

The cup , demand and on Adam's dust , a little water sprinkle . *** Poor and shattered , to Thy court , I have come . A little pity ,

For , save attachment to Thee , attachment , mine is none . *** The slave , I am of that word that enkindleth the fire of love

Not the slave of that word , that in speech , dasheth cold water on the fierce fire of love *** Come for last night , to me , the invisible messenger spake ,

Saying In contentment's stage , be from destiny , flee not . *** Of thy own arm , be not proud for in record it is

In by , under the order of the king - maker a thousand arrayings . *** In my coffin , put up the cup so that , on the morning of rising ,

I may , with wine , take from my heart the terror of the day up - rising and springing . *** Between the lover and the Beloved , veil is none

Hafiz thou thyself art thy own veil . From the midst , arise and attain unto the Beloved . ***
