O heart a moment , void of lov...

O heart a moment , void of love and of intoxication , be not

At that time , go when , from non - existence to existence , thou escapedest . *** If the khirka - wearer , thou see , engaged in thy own work be

Every kibla that is better than self - worshiping is . *** In the religious order of tarikat love immatureness is kufr

Yes , the path of profligacy is expertness and quickness , *** As long as in thyself the wisdom of excellence thou seest and , of that wisdom , art proud thou sittest void of divine knowledge

To thec , one word I say : Thyself , behold not , so that in safety thou mayst escape . *** These calamities that have arisen I had fore - seen that day ,

When , awhile with us , through perverseness , thou satest not . *** O my Sultan for God's sake , exercise pity us , thy black tress hath shattered

Long - handedness like this , how long maketh the black *** Last night , in the assembly of the magians , to me how well said that idol

If the idol , thou worship not , with the kafirs , what work is thine *** O soul to the power of the deluge , thee , love will consign

Swiftly like lightning , thou thoughtest that from this tumult , thou wouldst escape . *** From the Path , Hafiz gazed till he beheld thy lovely tress ;

Notwithstanding his loftiness , trodden in lowliness truly humble he became . ***
