From the true Beloved , is my ...

From the true Beloved , is my pain and my remedy , also :

A sacrifice for Him , became my heart , and my life , also . *** Those that say That elegance is better than beauty To them , say

This beauty hath our Beloved and that elegance also . *** Only one splendour of His face is the glory of both worlds , '

To thee , I uttered this matter evident and hidden , also . *** Friends within the veil , we utter speech

It will be uttered with tales , also . *** Our blood , that intoxicated narcissus sh'ed

And that tip of the dishevelled tress , also . *** Not , on the world's work , is reliance

Nor , on the revolving sphere whereto is attributed the world's work also . *** Be memory of that one , who , with desire for our blood ,

Shattered the covenant , and the oath , also . *** When , to an end , have come the nights of union ,

Passeth away the time of separation also . *** Many times , the blood tears of my eye , the picture of His mole

Spilled openly and secretly also . *** 10 . Not the judge , doth the lover fear , wine , bring

Nor the punishment of the Sultan , also . *** Knoweth that Hafiz is a lover of God the muhtasib

And the Asaf of Sulaiman's court , also . ***
