The ghazal

Time consider plunder to that degree that thou canst

O soul the out - come of life is only this moment if thou knowesfr . *** The desire - giving of the sphere hath life in barter ,

Strive that , from fortune , the justice of ease thou mayst take . *** The counsel of lovers , hear and out from the door of joy come

For all this is not worth the occupation of a transitory world . *** Before the zahid , boast not of profligacy . For one cannot utter

To the physician , not the confidant , the state of a hidden pain . *** Gardener when hence I pass , be it unlawful to thee ,

If , in my place , a cypress other than the beloved thou plant *** The jar - shatterer knoweth not this value that to the sufi ,

Is a household chattel like a pomegranate ruby . *** Thou goest and , the people's blood , thy eye - lashes shed

O soul fiercely impetuously thou goest fear is , behind , thou wilt remaim . *** O sweet mouth with the prayer of the night - risers , strive not

In the shelter of the one ineffable name of God is the seal having the quality of a Sulaiman . *** Aside from the glance of Thy eye , my heart , I kept . But ,

Thy eyebrow , bow - possessor , taketh the heart by its forehead . *** O brothers compassion . Went my precious Yusuf ,

For grief for whom , wonderful in wretchedness I beheld thestate of the old man Y'akub of Kin'an . *** The wine's delight will slay the penitent zahid

O sage do not a deed , that bringeth penitence . *** One day , by my door , enter , so that , with joy , the hand I may clap ;

Saying : Verily , joined to me is luminosity as a guest . *** With kindness , tranquillise Hafiz's heart ,

O Thou , whose beauteous tress - coil is the assembly - place perfection of dispersion *** O idol , stony of heart if of me careless thou be ,

My own state , I will utter before Asaf the second . ***
