The ghazal

Happy is my head and with loud shout , I speak

Saying Life's breeze from the cup of the wine of unity I seek . *** On the face of wine sickness , sitteth not the sullenness of austerity

The disciple of the khirka , dreg - drinker , pleasant of disposition , murshid of the age , who hath drunk the pure love of past ones I am . *** If , to us , the Pir of the Magians the perfect murshid open not the door ,

What door , shall I beat What remedy , shall I make *** In this sward the world rebuke me not for self - growing

As me , nurture they Fate and Destiny give , so I grow . *** In the midst , behold not thou the monastery and the tavern

God is witness , wherever He is with Him , am I . *** The dust of the path of search is the alchemy of well being

The slave of the fortune of that dust of ambergris - perfume am I . *** From desire for one of intoxicated narcissus and of lofty stature ,

With the goblet , like the tulip fallen , by the marge of the stream , am I . *** For head - bewilderedness , notorious I became and the Friend's eye - brow

Me , like a ball , into the curve of its chaugan , drew . *** O counsellor me , what counsel maketh thou , since thou knowest

That not a believer of the man , ease - seeking , am I . *** Wine , bring that , by Hafiz's decision , down from the pure heart ,

Hypocrisy's dust , with the' goblet's grace , I may wash . ***
