The ghazal

Love - playing and youthfulness and wine of ruby hue love

The assembly of love kindly , and the companion concordant , and ever the drinking of wine love's bounties *** The Saki sweet of mouth , and the minstrel sweet of speech the perfect murshid

Fellow - sitters friends of good repute and companions of good fame *** The lovely one the true Beloved who is peerless with grace and with purity , the envy of the water of life

A heart - ravisher , in beauty and goodness , the envy of the full moon *** Abanquet - place the assembly of the circle of zikr heart - alluring , like the palace of loftiest paradise ,

Arose - bed , its borders like the garden of the mansion of peace *** he Tranks of sitters the assembly of the circle of zikr well wishing to each other and the attendants , with respect

Friends possessed of mysteries and of divine knowledge and companions friendly of desire *** The cup of rose - hue true love , that , at first is very bitter and strong and afterwards pleasant tasting , light

Its sweetmeat , the kiss of the ruby lip of the idol its tale , wine of the ruby cup *** The Saki's glance the glory , and the splendour , of the true Beloved , that from all things , is manifest for the plunder of wisdom , sword - drawn

The true Beloved's tress the world's strange forms that , from all things make manifest the true Beloved , splendour - kindling for the capture of the heart of Arifs snare spread *** Who , this society desireth not , to him be heart - happiness , ruined

Who , this pleasure seeketh not , to him be life unlawful *** None is a subtlety - understander , jest - utterer , like Hafiz sweet of speech

None is a liberality - teacher , world - kindling , like Haji Kivam . ***
