Sufi a beautiful rose pluck and to the thorn the patched religious garment , give

For pleasant tasting wine , this thy dry austerity , give *** In the path of the harp's melody , put aside idle talk and fraud

For wine and wine - drinking , the rosary and the darvish mantle give . *** Excessive austerity that the lovely one and the zahid purchase not ,

In the sward's ring time to spring's fragrant breeze , give . *** O chief of lovers my path , ruby wine attacked

In the pit of the beloved's chin , my blood give . *** O Lord in the rose - season , pardon the slave's sin

To the cypress of the bank of the stream , this tale give . *** O thou that hast travelled to the drinking place of thy desire

From this sea of desire me dusty , a drop give . *** In thanks that the form of idols thy eye beheld not ,

To us , by the pardon and the favour of the Lord , work give . *** Saki when the khwaja drinketh the wine of the morning cup ,

Tell him To Hafiz , night alive keeping , the cup of gold . ***
