The breeze of love's perfume ,...

The breeze of love's perfume , I perceived and , expectant of the flashing of the lightning of union , became

O cool breeze of the north come for , for the perfume of thy body , I die *** O song - uttering driver of the camels of the Beloved stand , and alight

For , in desire of the Beloved's beauty , no patience is mine . *** O heart the complaint of the night of separation , let go

In thanks that the day of union hath up - cast the screen of the night of separation *** When the Beloved is in desire of peace ; and excuse asketh ,

In every state , one can pass by and pardon the violence of the watcher . *** O Friend come . For the seven - fold - rose tear shedding screen of the eye ,

On the writing of the workshop of Thy tender fancy , I have drawn . *** In my straitened heart , is naught save the fancy of Thy small mouth

Like me , in pursuit of vain fancy , be none *** Vexation with a piece of counsel from the Beloved who is as my soul I show not

For vexation with his own soul , even with effort , none sheweth . *** Trodden by the foot of grief , perturbed , is my heart

Even as acquainted with its state is none . *** Slain by love for Thee , became the stranger , Hafiz , but ,

By our dust , pass for lawful to Thee is our blood . ***
