The ghazal

Ruby wine love for the true Beloved drink ; and the face of those moon of forehead Arifs of God behold

Contrary to the religious order of those Abids , and Zahids , outward worship . pers the beauty of these the Arifs of God behold . *** Beneath the gilded garment , nooses of prayer they the Arifs and the recognisers of God have

Notwithstanding their poverty the long - handedness loftiness of spirit of these short of sleeve the Arifs poor of resource behold . *** For the harvest of both worlds , their head , they lower not

The brain and pride of beggars , corn - gleaners , behold . *** The frown from the eye - brow full of frown , the Friend looseneth not

The need of people of heart , and the grace of the dainty beloved ones , behold *** From none , the tale of the covenant of love , I hear :

The non - fidelity of the society of friends and of fellow - sitters behold . *** The means of release from imperious lust is to become captive to love

The fore - seeing mind of the fore - seers behold . *** Love's polish , the dust of Hafiz's heart taketh .

The purity of the pure mirror of those pure of faith behold . ***
