The salutation of God as long ...

The salutation of God as long as nights recur till the judgment day

And as long as the lutes of two , or three , strings respond to each other or to the singer *** On the valley of Arak , and on him who is therein

On my dwelling on the bend of the hill above the sands *** The prayer - utterer for travellers of the world , I am

Constantly and perpetually , I pray . *** O God in every stage whereto he turneth his face

Him , in Thy eternal protection , keep . *** O heart bewail not . For , in the chain of His tress ,

The distraught state is all collectedness tranquillity *** Of ardent love , I die . if information were mine

O when will the bringer of happy news speak of union *** For , at all times , love for Thee is my rest

In every state , remembrance of Thee is my consoler . *** Till the judgment - day , the black point of my heart

Be it not void of consuming and of distraughtness for Thee *** Union with a King like Thee , how may gain ,

I , bad of name , profligate , careless *** From Thy down , a hundred other beauties increase

Be Thy life a hundred illustrious years *** Afarin be on that Painter of power ,

Who , around the full moon , draweth the line of a crescent a new moon *** That thou be is necessary . If not , easy is

The loss of capital , of rank , and of wealth . *** God knoweth Hafiz's intention

God's knowledge of my wants is sufficient for me without my asking ***
