The ghazal

To the shattered one , when thou comest , the Fatiha recite

Thy lip , open for life to the dead , the ruby of thy lip giveth . *** That one the holy traveller who , for inquiry after my state came the Fatiha readeth and departeth ,

A breath where that my soul after him , I may move sacrifice *** O thou that art the physician of the shattered my face and tongue , behold

For , on the tongue , this breath and sigh of my chest is the heart's load . *** Though hot with love , fever made my bone , and departed ,

From my bone , like the fever , love's fire departeth not . *** Like the state of thy dark mole on the ruddy fire of its native land thy luminous , ruddy , cheek is the state of my heart

On account of those two eyes of thine that against me consider tyranny lawful shattered and powerless my body hath become . *** With the water of my two eyes , quench my heat of love's fever and feel

My pulse whether any trace of life it giveth . *** That one the holy traveller who , for the sake of rest , me , the wine of the bottle the heart had given ,

Momently , to the physician , my bottle the heart wherefore taketh he *** Hafiz the draught of the water of life , me , thy verse gave

The physician , forsake come the prescription of my draught sweet verse read . ***
