In fruitlessness and lustfulness , passed my life

O son me , the cup of wine , give , so that to old age thou mayst reach . *** From the direction of Tar , lightning flashed ; to it , I inclined in love

Perchance , thee , a brand of bright flame , I may bring . *** In this city , what sugars that became contented ,

The mighty falcons of tarlkat with the stage of a pitiful fly *** Last night , in the crowd of slaves of His door , I went ,

He spake saying O friendless , remediless , one the load of what person art thou *** So that , like the censer , a moment , we may take the skirt of the beloved ,

We placed our heart on the fire , for the sake of a pleasant breath . *** Despite the heart become blood in grief to be like the pleasant fragrant musk - pod , is necessary for him ,

Who became world - renowned for a fragrant breath of excellence *** Departed in death hath the Karvan of friends and , in the ambush - place , thou in sleep

Arise prepare the requisites of the end . Alas of so many crashes of the great bell of death wholly void of knowledge , thou art . *** O bird of my soul thy pinion , spread and , from the lofty Tuba tree , the shout of praise in recollection of Thy Creator raise

Woe is it that a glorious bird like thee captive of the cage of worldly delights that befit thee not thou art *** In desire of Thee , in every direction , Hafiz runneth how much

O object of desire to thee , easy the path , may God make . ***
