Thanks be to God that the door...

Thanks be to God that the door of the wine - tavern open , is .

In such a way that , my face of supplication upon its door is . *** Through intoxication , all in tumult and shout are the jars the seekers of God

And that wine that in that place the threshold of the Murshid true is , not illusory , is . *** From Him , intoxication , and tumult , and pride all is .

From us , helplessness , and weakness , and supplication all is . *** The mystery that to the people I uttered not , and shall not utter

To the Friend , I shall utter for confidant of the mystery He is . *** The twist of the tress , curl within curl , the explanation

One cannot shorten for long this story . is . *** The load of Majnun's heart and the curl of Laila's tress

The cheek of MahmQd of Ghuzni and the sole of the foot of Ayaz is . *** Like the hawk , I have stitched up my eye from all the world

Since , on Thy adorned cheek , my eye open is . *** Whoever entereth the Ka'ba of Thy street ,

Through the Kibla of Thy eye - brow arch in the very act of prayer is . *** O people of the assembly Murshids the consuming of the heart of poor Hafiz

Ask ye the candle that , in burning and melting is . ***
