O cool breeze of the north the breeze of good news , thou art ,

That , us , at union's time , reacheth . *** O messenger of the bird - place God protect thee

Welcome welcome Come come *** Salma is where In Zu Salam , is who

Our neighbours are where Their state is how *** Void remaineth the space of the banquet - hall

Of the companions , and of the brimful ritl . *** After safety from calamity invisible became the dwelling of Salma

Of its former state , the ruins ask . *** Now , hath the night of absence cast its shade

Let us see , what pastime the night - prowlers the dreams of fancy play . *** Love's tale , no break is it's

Here , speech's tongue is broken . *** At none , looketh our saucy one

Alas this pride , haughtiness , and disdain *** In thy beauty of perfection , thou acquiredest hope

Far from thee , God keep the eye - wound of calamity *** O Hafiz love and patience , how long

Sweet , is the wail of lovers . Bewail ***
