O thou that hast the blood - price of the precious musk - pod of Chin , the dust of the path of thine

And the sun , cherished in the shade of the border of the cap of thine *** O beloved forth beyond limit , the narcissus carrieth her amorous glance move forth and display thy glance that the narcissus may know thy worth

O soul be a sacrifice for the glance of the dark eye of thine *** My blood , drink . For , with beauty like this , even any angel ,

From his heart , it cometh not to record the sin of thine . *** O beloved the cause thou art of the people's ease and the world's slumber

On that account , the border of my eye and of my heart became the repose - place of thine . *** Mine , every night in recollection of thy effulgent face with every gleaming star is the work of weeping and wailing

In envious regret for the splendour of the moon - like effulgent face of thine . *** From each other separated all are friends , fellow - sitters

But together are I and the threshold of the empire - shelter of thine . *** The friend of the bad be not . For , like good fortune ,

Thy friend be whoever may be the well - wisher of thine *** To - morrow , the day of assembly the resurrection when is the presenting of the people ,

In the midst , possibly , may fall on me the kind glance of thine *** Hafiz favour , desire not . For , in the end ,

To grief's harvest , setteth fire the smoke of the sigh of thine . ***
