Efforts , a thousand , I made ...

Efforts , a thousand , I made that , my true Beloved , Thou shouldst be ;

That the desire - giver of my sorrowful heart , Thou shouldst be . *** That a moment into the hut of sorrowful lovers , Thou shouldst come

And , a night , the consoling friend of my sorrowful heart , Thou shouldst be . *** O true Beloved since the lamp of my eye , Thou madest night alive keeper watchful

The consoler of my hopeful heart , Thou shalt be . *** In sleep of midnight , this desire I see

In place of streaming tears , in my embrace , thou shalt be . *** By that cornelian mouth by the way whereof , bloody of heart , I am ,

If complaint , I make , my mystery - keeper , thou shalt be . *** When to slaves , Khusraus of darkish beauty behave kindly ,

In the midst , the Lord of my work thou shouldst be . *** My slender prey becometh the rays of the sun ,

If , a moment , a deer like thee , my prey thou be . *** The three kisses that of Thy two lips , my portion Thou hast made ,

If Thou give not , my debtor , Thou shalt be . *** In that sward where idols beloved ones the hand of lovers take ,

If , from thy hand , this hand - taking take place , my idol , thou shall be . *** Though I am the Hafiz the guardian of the city , not worth a barley - corn I am

Perchance , out of thy own liberality , my beloved , thou shalt be . ***
