Like the rose , momently , by ...

Like the rose , momently , by thy fragrance , the garment of my body ,

Rent , I make from collar to skirt . *** Thou mayst say The rose in the garden , beheld thy body

Since like the intoxicated ,, the garment on its body , it rent . *** From the power of grief for thee , with difficulty , I bear life

But , from me , the heart easily thou tookest . *** At the word of enemies watchers away from the friends lovers thou turnedest ;

With the friend , enemy none becometh . *** Do not , so that , from my breast , the sigh liver - consuming

May ascend like smoke by way of the window . *** Thy body in the garment , like sparkling wine in the cup :

Thy head in the chest , like hard , red iron in pure white silver . *** O candle from thy eye , rain tears like the cloud

For , manifest to the people , hath become the consuming of thy heart . *** My heart , shatter not ; it , under foot , cast not ;

For in thy tress - tip , its dwelling it hath . *** Since to thy tress , Hafiz hath bound his heart ,

In this way , his work under foot , cast not . ***
