At the head of the wine - house , the morning - lesson prayer aside we have laid

In the path of the true Beloved , the in - gathering of prayer , we have placed . *** To the harvest of existence of ahundred learned wise ones Zahids settethfire

This mark of branding that , from love on our distraught heart , we have placed . *** To us , the treasure of love's grief , the Sultan of eternity without beginning the true Beloved gave ,

Since , towards this desolate stage this world our face we have placed . *** More than this , in the khirka the garment of austerity one cannot be a hypocrite

On account of this , profligately , its the khirka's foundation we have placed . *** After this to the love of idols , the path into our heart , we give not

On the door of this house the heart the seal of His lip we have placed . *** That , for the sake of which , the Zahid gave us his hand ,

Out of purity on the cup's lip , we have placed . *** Thanks to God that like us , without heart and religion , was

That one , whom as wisdom - cherisher and learned , we have placed . *** At last , how goeth this battered bark the body

In desire of which peerless jewel , our life we have placed . *** With only an image of Thee , contented we were like Hafiz ,

O Lord whether beggar or friendless one , reliance on Thee we have placed . ***
