The down the world's up - springing of the true Beloved's cheek , eclipsed is the moon by which ,

Is a joyous ring ; but path is none out from it . *** The eye - brow the world , the stage of acquisition of love of the Friend God is the corner stone of the prayer - arch of fortune

There , thy face rub thy need the degrees of the first and the last world and the ladders of loftiest stages ask from Him . *** O thou that art the draught - drinker the holy traveller of the assembly of Jamshid the murshid , perfect and excellent thy heart keep pure

For a mirror this is the cup world - viewing the heart of the murshid Alas for it . *** The hypocritical conduct of the men of the monastery abids and the austere ones , who for deceiving men , made wailing me , a wine - worshipper , made .

Behold this smoke of their hypocritical wailing and sighing black with wine - worshipping became my book by which *** To the Shaitan of grief , whatever is possible say and do

With the wine - sellers to whom no access is his I have taken shelter from him . *** Saki the luminous lamp of wine on the sun's path keep

Say : the torch of the morning enkindle from it . *** O murshid on the day - record of our deeds , a little water of thy kindness scatter

Perchance , the letters of sin , one can efface with it . *** In this fancy , that a city - beggar hath ,

May it be that , one day , the king may make recollection of him . *** Hafiz , who , the arrangement of the assembly of the lovers straight made ,

The space of this banquet - place be not void of him ***
