O beloved come towards us this...

O beloved come towards us this hatred exercise not

For the light of ancient society , thou hast . *** My counsel hear for this pearl of counsel much better is

Than that jewel that , in the treasury , thou hast . *** O Saki to the cry of the poor wine - drinkers come . Them , give wine

For God's sake , if the wine of last night thou hast . *** But , to the profligates , thy face how mayst thou show ,

Thou who , the mirror of the sun and of the moon , thou hast *** O Shaikh sense , keep against the profligates speak not

Lest that with God's love hate thou have . *** O Zahid fearest thou not my fiery burning sigh

Thou knowest , the woollen khirka , easily consumed thou hast . *** Hafiz I have not seen verse more beautiful than thy verse ,

Which , in thy heart , by the great Kuran I swear thou hast . ***
