Glad tidings to the abode of Z...

Glad tidings to the abode of Zu - Salam , suddenly descended safety from calamity

To God praise , the praise of the confessor of the greatest blessing *** That bringer of happy news , who brought the glad tidings of victory , is where

So that in joy my soul which is dearer than gold and silver I may scatter on his foot like gold and silver . *** Verily , shattered of heart becometh the covenant - breaker

In the opinion of the Lords of wisdom , sacred charges are covenants . *** From the King's turning back , what a rare picture established

His enemy's resolution in the mansion of non - existence *** From hope's cloudlet , he sought a blessing . But ,

To his seeing eye , it gave naught save moisture . *** Into the dark Nil of grief , he the covenant - breaker fell to him , in reproach the sky said

Verily , now , repentant , thou hast become ; and profit from repentance , thou gainest not . *** Saki come , for it is the season of the rose , and the time of pleasure :

The cup , bring and suffer no grief , more or less . *** From the cup of wine , hear . For this old woman , newly married the world

Many a husband , like Kay Kubad and Jamshid , slew . *** O heart seek not thou the kingdom of Jamshid seek the cup of wine

For this was the song of the bulbul , garden - singer , of Jamshid . *** When , like the red flagon , the enemy's red blood , thou spilledest ,

With friends , in ease and joy , take the cup of Jamshid . *** In the tavern - corner , hath Hafiz his place of ease ,

Like the bird in the garden and like the lion in the forest . ***
