The thought of the bulbul the holy traveller all is that , that the rose the true Beloved his beloved may be

The rose , in thought how , in her work , grace she may display . *** Not all heart - ravishingness is that that slayeth the lover

Khwaja is he , whose attendant is grief . *** That is a place where into the ruby's heart the wave dasheth blood ,

With this loss that its the ruby's market - value , the sherd shattereth . *** From the bounty of the rose the true Beloved the bulbul the holy traveller learned speech and if not , there had not been

In his beak , all this sweet speech and song . *** That travelled one the Beloved whose fellow - traveller is a hundred Kafilas of the heart ,

O God wherever he be , him , in safety from the peril of travel keep . *** O thou that passest in the street of our Beloved ,

Full of caution , be for the head , his wall shattereth . *** O heart although health's company happily falleth to thee ,

Precious , is love's quarter : it , abandon not . *** If from the temptation of lust and of desire of thy own sensual nature and from the world's attachments , joined to lust thou go far ,

Without a doubt , the path to the fold of its sight thou takest . *** Merry of head intoxicated the Sufi placed his cap aslant ,

With two cups of wine more , disordered may be his turban . *** The heart of Hafiz that had become accustomed to the sight of Thee

Is cherished with union . Its the heart's torment , seek not . ***
