The gardener the holy travelle...

The gardener the holy traveller if , for a space of five days , a life - time the society of the rose the true Beloved is necessary for him ,

Against the tyranny of the thorn of separation , the patience of the patient bulbul is necessary for him . *** O heart in the bond of His tress the world regarding perturbation , bewail not ,

When , into the bond , the wise bird falleth , fortitude is necessary for it . *** With tress and face like this of His the true Beloved unlawful be glance - playing of love

To that one , if the jasmine - face , and the hyacinth - curl is necessary for him . *** To the profligate , world - consuming who hath abandoned the world's attachments what business with counsel - considering

The land's work is such that deliberation and reflection is necessary for it . *** In tarikat , reliance on piety and knowledge is infidelity

If a hundred kinds of skill , the way - farer have , trust in God is necessary for him . *** The disdainful airs of that intoxicated narcissus , it is necessary to endure ,

O distraught heart since that tress and fore - lock is necessary for it . *** O Saki in the cup's circulation , delay how long

When with lovers , the cup's circulation chanceth , succession continuity is necessary for it . *** Who is Hafiz since , without the harp's sound , he drinketh not the cup

The wretched lover patience like this , why' is necessary for him ***
