Drink the cup of the wine of unity of a man

So that , by it grief's root , up from the heart , thou mayst pluck . *** Expanded , keep the heart , like the cup of wine

Head closed how long like a large jar *** When , from the jar of selflessness , a ritl thou drinkest ,

Less of thyself voluntarily thou boastest of self . *** Like the humble and worthless stone at thy foot be , not like the water of the cloud glorying in sublimity

All colour of deceit , thou mixest and wet of skirt lust - stained thou art . *** To wine , bind the heart , so that , like a man ,

The neck of hypocrisy and of piety thou mayst shatter . *** Arise , and , like Hafiz , an effort in the service of the Pir of tarikat make so that , perchance ,

Thyself , at the true Beloved's foot , thou mayest cast . ***
