The ghazal

What men of Khilvat call the Night of Power to - night is .

Lord from what constellation , is it that this effect of fortune is *** In order that the hand of those unfit outward worshippers may rarely reach

Thy tress the Path of God Every lover's heart , in the circle of the world engaged in the zikr of O Lord O Lord is . *** 0 Beloved I am one slain by Thy chin - dimple . For , from every side ,

Beneath Thy chin - dimple , many a neck of souls is . *** My horseman , the mirror - holder of whose face is the moon ,

The crown of the lofty sun , the dust of the hoof of his steed is . *** Behold the reflection of sweat on His the Beloved's cheek For the sun , ardent of face .

As long as it is day daily in desire of this sweat , ardent is . *** I will not abandon the suby lip of the Beloved , nor the wine - cup

Zahids hold me excused for , my religious order , this is . *** In that cavalcade when they fasten the saddle on the back of the wind ,

With the great Sulaiman , how may proceed I , whose steed the feeble ant is *** The water of life trickleth from the beak pen of my eloquence .

In God's name what a lofty drinker the black crow of my pen is *** Who from beneath his eye winking dischargeth an arrow at my heart ,

In the covert smile beneath His lip the life - sustenance of me Hafiz , is . ***
