O Beloved for Thy rose - leaf ...

O Beloved for Thy rose - leaf ruddy face of the musky fragrant hyacinth the tress the veil make

That is Thy face conceal and a world ruined make . *** The sweat from Tby face , scatter on the borders of the garden

As from seeing Thee the flagons of our eyes are full of rose - water , tears so full of rose - water the garden make . *** Thy narcissus , full of sleep , intoxicated , gracefully open

And , in envy of Thy eye to sleep the eye of the lovely narcissus put . *** Haste for departing , like swift life , the rose - season maketh :

Saki in the circulation of the cup of roseate hue , haste make . *** The dark violet's perfume , perceive and the dark tress of the idol the true Beloved take

At the want of colour of the white lily , gaze resolution for the ruddy wine make : *** On the face of the goblet the murshid like vanishing bubbles , open thy eye ;

The foundation of this house this world from that of vanishing bubbles , estimation make . *** Since the way and usage of lover - slaying is thine ,

With enemies , the goblet drain with us , reproach make . *** Our fortune and thy disposition , essayed have we

With enemies , the goblet drain with us , reproach make . *** By the path of prayer , union , Hafiz seeketh

O Lord the prayer of those heart - broken accepted make . ***
