On the day of judgment , thee ...

On the day of judgment , thee the sky happily aided

Let us see thanks , how thou mayst offer ; in thanks , what thou mayst bring . *** In love's street , kingly rank they purchase not

Here make confession of service and claim of attendance . *** That one who fell and whose hand , God seized ,

Say So that thy hand , God may seize on thee , be it that the grief of the fallen thou mayst suffer . *** Saki with the reward for tidings of joy enter by my door ,

So that , one moment , forth from my heart , grief thou mayst take . *** In the highway of rank and of lordship is many a danger ,

That is best that by this acclivity , light of burden , thou pass . *** Together are the Sultan and the thought of the army , and the passion for treasure , and the pomp of the crown

Together are the darvish , and tranquillity of heart , and the corner of kalandardom . *** To the limit of thought and spirit is the success of desire

From the king , the liberal gift from the grace of God , aid . *** One sufi - istic word , I will utter permission is there

O light of the eye peace is better than war and dominion . *** Hafiz from thy face , the dust of poverty and ot contentment wash not

For , better is this dust than the work of alchemy . ***
