O heart that moment when , intoxicated with wine rose of hue , thou art

Without gold and treasure , with a hundred pomps of Karun thou art . *** In the stage where to fakirs the seat of wazlrship , they give ,

I expect that above all in rank thou art . *** In the path to the abode of Laila the true Beloved wherein are dangers ,

The first condition of its step is , that Majnun the perfect lover thou be . *** Thee , love's centre I showed . Ho mistake make not

If not , when thou lookest outside of the circle of lovers thou art . *** Departed , the karvan of thy fellow - travellers and , in sleep , thou art and the desert is in front

O heart I know not how thou goest from whom , the path thou askest what thou doest how in this desert , ignorant of the path , alone thou art . *** A cup , drink and on the skies , a draught , cast

On . account of time's grief , the liver of blood of grief how long , how long art thou *** The kingly crown , thou seekest the essence perfection of thy own nature , display

If , indeed , of the essence the race of Jamshid and of Firidun thou be . *** Hafiz of poverty , bewail not . For , if this be thy poetry ,

Appeareth no one happy of heart , that sorrowful thou shouldst be . ***
