The ghazal

From us , wherefore seeketh thou peace , when , to the intoxicated , an invitation we uttered

At the revolution of thy intoxicated eye , farewell to safety we uttered . *** Open me the door of the wine - house of love and drink wine that divine mysteries may be revealed to thee for , from the monastery , naught is revealed

If thine be belief of my word if not , this was the speech , we uttered . *** O Saki by thy eye , ruined intoxicated I have fallen . But ,

A calamity that cometh from the friend , to it , a thousand welcomes we uttered . *** We said Thy stature is the lofty box - tree much shame it bringeth to fruit

To the box - tree this similarity why made we and this calumny why is it that we uttered *** If me thou forgive not , thou wilt at last suffer regret ,

In thy heart , keep this matter , where a complaint in thy service we uttered *** Like a bloody musk - pod , blood became my liver and for me was fit not less than this ,

Its requital because , in comparison with His glorious , beperfumed tress the word of the mean musk of Chin by mistake , we uttered . *** O Hafiz fire through grief of separation thou hast become but , with the true Beloved , it took no effect

From infidelity to the covenant of the rose , thou mayst say the tale to the wind we uttered . ***
