The ghazal

The water - bank , and the willow - root and the poetic nature and a friend , happy

A companion , the sweet heart - ravisher , and the Saki , rose of cheek , happy . *** Ho O fortune of destiny that knoweth not the worth of time ,

To thee , be this pleasure pleasant for a time , thou hast happy . *** To whose heart is friendship through the love of a heart - ravisher ,

Say On the fire , put rue to dispel the evil eye for a business , thou hast happy . *** For the bride of nature , with generosity , I bind thought's jewel

It may be , from time's picture , on my hand may fall an idol happy . *** Plunder , reckon the night of the Beloved's society and do justice to happy - heartedness ,

For , heart - kindling , is the moon - beam and stream - bank happy . *** In God's name in the cup of the Saki's eye , is wine

That giveth intoxication with reason and bringeth about a wine - sickness , happy *** Hafiz in carelessness , went thy life with us , to the wine - house the stage of love and of divine knowledge come

So that the intoxicated lovely ones perfect Arifs , and the excellent murshid will teach thee , a work , happy . ***
