For the sake of love's existen...

For the sake of love's existence are man and Pari ,

A little pure desire , show , so that a great happiness in attaining to true love thou mayst achieve . *** Since , prepared of vision , thou art not , union , seek not ,

For , no good doeth the world - viewing cup of Jamshid at the time of being without vision . *** The wine of the morning draught , and the sweet sleep of dawn , how long

For pardon strive by the supplication of mid - night ; and , with the weeping of the morning . *** O beloved come and , from us , with the capital of thy beauty , sovereignty purchase

Careless of this matter , be not , lest sorrow thou suffer . *** Khwaja strive portionless of . love be not

For none buyeth the slave with the defect of being void of skill . *** When a door to astonishment had every news that I heard ,

After this together are I and intoxication , and the way of being void of news . *** O dainty one , sorcery - player what doll art thou thyself

Neither in front of the eye art thou nor hidden from vision art thou . *** A thousand holy souls consumed on account of this jealousy ,

For , every morning and evening , the candle of another assembly thou art . *** Turneth calamity the prayer of the corner - sitters

With a corner of thy eye , at us corner - sitters wherefore lookest thou not *** The message from me to His Highness Asaf , who taketh ,

Saying Recollect two hemistiches of mine in Dan verse *** Come , so that , even so , the world's way I may behold

If , examination , thou wilt make , wine , thou drinkest and grief , sufferest not . *** On thy head of beauty , aslant in pride be not the crown of sovereignty

For , the beauty of fortune , and worthy of throne and of the crown of gold , thou art . *** Love's Path is a path wonderfully dangerous ,

We seek refuge in God If to a place of safety , the path thou take not . *** By the perfume of Thy tress and Thy cheek , go and come ,

The morning breeze for acquiring from Thy tress the power of perfume - diffusing , and the rose for acquiring from Thy cheek splendour . *** That one , who , from this zulmat of the world made my guidance ,

In thanks were His my prayer of midnight , and my weeping of the morning . *** By the blessing of the prayer of Hafiz , is hope that again

I may see the traces of glories of my Laila the true Beloved in the path of the night , luminous with the moon . ***
