Happy is the breeze , ambergris be - perfumed , a perfumed pastile , desired of heart ,

That , in desire of thee , arose early the morning *** O bird of auspicious face the murshid , perfect , excellent the road - guide be

For , from desire of the dust of that court of God water hath become my eye . *** In recollection of my slender person , that is immersed in the blood of grief of the heart ,

The new slender crescent moon , from the quarter of the ruddy crepuscule , they regard . *** In love for thy roseate face , one day when , from this world , I depart ,

From my tomb , the red rose in place of green herbage , shall blossom . *** That one am I who , without thee , breathe . What shame

Perchance , thou mayst pardon . If not , the excuse for sin is what *** In love's path , from thy friends , learned

The dawn , that desire rent the black under - garment . *** For me Hafiz give not grief access to thy tender heart

For , this moment , thy Hafiz himself uttered bismi - llah and in death departed ***
