The world - possessor , defend...

The world - possessor , defender of the faith perfect sovereign

Yahya bin Muzaffar , king , just - doer : *** O thou thy court , the shelter of Islam , hath opened

On the face of the world , the window of the soul , and the door and the heart . *** Necessary and proper to the soul and to wisdom , is reverence to thee

To existence and dwelling the universe thy reward is abounding and comprehending . *** On the day of eternity without beginning , from thy reed , a drop of blackness ink

That became the solver of questions , fell on the face of the moon . *** When on thy face ; or on the moon's the sun beheld that dark mole , to his heart , he said

Would to heaven that I had been the fortunate slave the dark mole *** O king on account of thy banquet , the sky is in dancing and in sama'

From the skirt of this zamzama , thy hand let not go . *** Drink wine and give the world be joyous For , of the tress of thy noose ,

Captive to chains became the neck of thy ill - wisher . *** Now , altogether , in the way of justice , is the sky's revolution

Be happy that the tyrant taketh not the path to the stage of his object *** Hafiz when in the power of the king of the world is the partition of subsistence ,

For thy livelihood , make no useless thought . ***
