Obtained was the sight of the true Beloved and the kiss , and the embrace also

To fortune , thanks I owe and to time , also . *** Zahid go about thy own work and forbid not wine and the lovely one For if ascendant be my fortune ,

Will be in my hand , the cup and the Beloved's tress also . *** For profligacy and intoxication , we ascribe to none defect

Sweet is the ruby lip of idols , and pleasant - tasting wine also . *** O heart thee , glad tidings , I give . The muhtasib is no more

Full , is the world of wine , and of the wine - drinking idol also . *** Passed hath that time , when from ambush was lurking the evil - eye

Departed from the midst , hath the enemy thezahid or the watcher and , from the bosom , the tear also *** Not wise , is it to give the heart to the power of separation :

Tranquillity of heart seek ; and a flagon , bring also ; *** On the dusty ones lovers of love , pour a draught of his Muhammad's lip ,

So that ruby - hue may become the dust ; and musk - diffusing also . *** O perfect murshid since by thy perfume of hope all created beings are living ,

O resplendent sun the true Beloved from us , Thy shade of bounty keep not also . *** Since the honour decoration of the tulip and of the rose is the bounty of thy beauty ,

O cloud of grace Muhammad on me , dusty humble , grace rain also . *** Captive to thee , became people of vision . God fear

And the obtaining of justice from fi . saf , powerful as Sulaiman , also . *** Burhan - i - Mulk va Din , from whose hand of vazlrship ,

The happy , time of the mine became his right hand and of the ocean , his left also . *** To the memory of his most illumined judgment , in the morning , the sky

Maketh sacrifice of surrendered its own life ; and the constellation , scattering also . *** Snatched by thy chaugan of justice , is the ball of earth's sovereignty

And this up - lifted blue dome of the fortress also . *** Into motion , thy intention , light of rein , bringeth

This world , firm , lofty of centre , also . *** Until that time when , from the effects of the sky ; and the way of its revolution , there be ,

Change of years , and of month , and of autumn , and of spring also . *** Void of chiefs , be not thy palace of dignity

And of Sakis , cypress of stature , rose of cheek also . *** Hafiz , who , in thy praise , scattereth such jewels ,

Before thy hand was embarrassed and ashamed also . ***
