By her two tresses , Salma bound my heart

Yet , every day , my soul crieth to me Come and die *** For God's sake on me , heart - bereft , bestow pity

Me , despite the hate of enemies , cause to reach to the beloved . *** O thou who despisedest me for my love for Salma

Her face , thou shouldst at first have clearly seen . *** To the true Beloved , wholly and completely , surrender , like me , thy heart ,

O drowned in love in the sea of friendship *** Subsequently , to thee , our soul , we shall have to advance

For , stubbornly , hast thou fought with lovers and their heart taken . *** Grief for Thee wholly devoured this heart , helpless

Me , the news of the good fortune of my verse deceiveth . *** O idol in grief of love's passion for Thee ,

On the Lord God of slaves , is our reliance . *** Within the curl of Thy tress , went Hafiz

In the dark night and God is the guide . ***
