Even as in the rose - season the time of manifestations of glories of mysteries of repentance of wine love I became ashamed ,

So of un - upright conduct abandoning wine - drinking let none be ashamed . *** My counsel the circulation of the cup is all the snare of the Path and , of the argument ,

On account of the lovely one , or of the Saki , in no way am I ashamed . *** Of the blood , that , last night , went flowing from the pavilion of the eye ,

In the sight of the night - prowlers of sleep that come upon the path of the eye we were ashamed . *** Than the resplendent sun , more beauteous of face , thou art . Thanks to God

That , in the sun's face , of thee O murshid I am not ashamed . *** It may be that , through His compassionate nature , the true Beloved asketh not my sin

For , of question I am vexed and of answer , ashamed . *** From thy presence , 'tis a life - time since I turned not away my face

By the aid of God's grace , of this threshold , I am not ashamed . *** Beneath the lip , poison - laughter , why expresseth the cup ,

If , of Thy ruby lip , the ruddy wine became not ashamed *** Lawful it is , if the intoxicated narcissus cast down its head

For , of that Beloved's eye full of wrath , it became ashamed . *** Its face in the veil of the shell , it the pure pearl concealed on that account ,

That , of the pearls of my lustrous verse , the pearl of pure water became ashamed . *** The veil of the Zulmat darkness the gleaming water of life of Khizr established for the reason that it became ,

Of the pure nature of Hafiz and of this his poetry lustrous like water , ashamed . ***
