O thou that , in the tavern - street , thy dwelling hast

The Jamshid of thy own time , thou art , if , on the cup , thy hand thou hast . *** O thou that , night and day , with the tress and the face of the Beloved , passest

Be opportunity thine , so that a happy morning and evening thou mayst have . *** O thou who , in union with the heart's ease , privacy chosest

As gain , regard this moment when thy great desire thou hast . *** O morning breeze at the head of thy path , those consumed with love , are expectant ,

Whether , from that true Beloved many a journey made , a message thou hast . *** O true Beloved though , at the time of fidelity , stability constancy is not thine

Thanks , I offer that , against violence , stability thou hast . *** Thy dark mole , fresh of head , is a pleasant grain of pleasure . But ,

On the border of its sward face alas what a snare the tress thou hast . *** From the laughing lip of the goblet , the soul's perfume , I perceive

O Khwaja smell if , for that , a perfume - place thou hast . *** If , from thee , a name a stranger seek , what a wonder it will be ,

To - day , in this city , thou art one , who a great name hast . *** Kind became even the cruel sky , since , abandoning of violence - doing it made

O soul thou art one who , in this way of violence a great moving hast . *** The guardian of thy soul will be many a prayer of dawn

For , like Hafiz , night - rising , a slave thou hast . ***
