My eye , an ocean of weeping I make to the desert , patience , I cast

And , in this wprk , my heart into the ocean I cast . *** From the straitened heart the sinner , I heave such a sigh

That , into the sin of Adam and of Havva , fire I cast . *** The sky's arrow of affliction I have endured wine of love give , so that , intoxicated of head ,

Into the girdle of the waist of the quiver of Jauza Gemini a knot I may cast . *** On this moving throne the revolving sky a draught of wine , I pour

Into this azure vault the sky the resounding shout of strife , I cast . *** There , where is the heart - possessor , is the source of happy - heartedness

I strive that , perchance there , myself , 1 may cast . *** O moon , sun of cap in effulgence the fastening of thy coat , loose

So that like thy long , trailing tress at thy feet , my passion - stricken head I may cast . *** O Hafiz since reliance on time is error and defect ,

Then , to to - morrow , the pleasure of to - day why do I cast ***
