In praise of those good qualities of the Beloved or of the murshid every subtlety that I uttered ,

Every one who heard , said The sayer of this , what an excellent speaker is he *** I spake saying : The powerless soul , Thou pitiest when

He said : At that time when , between the lover and the Beloved life is not the intervener . ' *** At first on the day of Alast easy appeared the acquisition of love and of profligacy

In the end , in attempting the acquisition of these excellences , the soul consumed . *** On the head of the gibbet , this subtlety , sweetly singeth Hallaj Mansur

Questions of love like these , of the Shafi'i order ask ye not . *** I have given my heart to a Friend , bold , decorated , arrayed ,

Agreeable of nature , laudable of disposition . *** Like Thy intoxicated obliquely - looking eye , I was at the time of corner - taking retiring to solitude

Now , like Thy inclined eye - brow , I became an incliner to the intoxicated . *** From my tears , a hundred - fold Nuh's deluge , I beheld

Yet , from the heart's tablet , Thy picture ever declined not . *** O grief that me , no entrance at His door , the Heart - ravisher gave

Notwithstanding that from all sides , mediators , I evoked . *** O Beloved Hafiz's hand is the amulet of against the evil eye - wound

O Lord grant that suspended to circled around thy neck , it the hand I may see ***
