The ghazal

Evil of any we utter not inclination to the injustice of any we make not

Black , the face of any one and blue , our own religious garment , we make not , *** Evil , it is to show in deficiency or in excess the defect of the poor man , or of the rich man

The counsel is that evil work at all , we do not . *** In the sight of way - farers , we happily urge the world of our time

Thought of the precious black steed , or of the golden saddle , we make not , *** On the book of knowledge , fallacious writing like worldly sages we write not

Confounded with the page of magic , God's mystery , we make not . *** If of the cup , my prohibition , the zahid make , that is best ,

That to his wine , pure and refined , attention , we make not . *** If with dignity , the draught of profligates , the king drink not .

By way of truth with splendour , work of his we do not . *** The sky shattereth the bark of the Lords of skill

Best , that , on this suspended ocean the sky reliance we make not . *** If an envious one spake evilness and thereon a friend grieved ,

To the friend say Happy , be for to the fool , the ear of attention we make not . *** Hafiz if the enemy utter falsehood as regards him , exception we take not

If , with truth , he spake contention with the speech of truth , we make not . ***
