O Murshid come back ; and of my straitened heart , the soul's sincere friend be :

Of this consumed one with love the reposer of hidden mysteries be . *** Of that wine which in the wine - house the stage of love , they sell ,

Me , two or three cups give and say '' Ramazan , it be *** O Arif , holy traveller when to the khirka of hypocrisy thou settest fire ,

An effort , make and of the circle of profligates outwardly bad , inwardly good of the world , chief be . *** That true Beloved who said For thee , looker and expecter is My heart

Say In safety , behold I arrive expecter be . *** In envy of that ruby lip , life - giving of the true Beloved my heart became blood ,

With that very seal and mark , the casket of love the beloved's mouth be *** So that on His the true Beloved's heart through grief , a particle of dust may not sit ,

O torrent of tears following my letter , flowing be *** Hafiz , who maketh his desire the cup , world - displaying the perfect murshid

To him say In sight of Asaf of Jamshid , his exalted place be . ***
