Than the thought of wine and of the cup , more pleasant - ^ what will be

Let us see the end^ what will be . *** The heart's grief how can one suffer , when time remaineth not ,

Say Be neither heart nor time , what will be *** Wine , drink grief , suffer not the counsel of the imitator the adviser of the people hear not

To the speech of the common people of this world credit what will be *** To the bird of little spirit , say Thy own grief , suffer . For , on it the bird

The pity of that one who planteth the snare what will be *** Verily 'tis best that thy hand - toil be expended according to desire

Thou knowest that , at last , to one desire un - attained what will be . *** Last night , the Pir of the tavern the murshid kept uttering an enigma

Of the line of the cup of love 'Tis necessary to see the end , what will be . *** From the Path , Hafiz's heart I took seduced with the drum , the harp , and the ghazal

Let us see , the requital of me of ill - name what will be . ***
