The ghazal

From the wine's sparkle the glories of Love for God the Arif knew the hidden mystery

Every one's essence of capability by this ruby the ruddy wine of Love thou canst know . *** Only the bird of the morning the nightingale knovveth the value of the rosebud

For , not every one that read a page , the meaning knew . *** To my work - stricken heart , I offered two this and the next worlds . Them it accepted not

Save love for Thee , the rest all effacement , it my heart knew . *** The stone and the clay , the ruby and the cornelian , maketh with auspicious glance

Whoever the value of the breath of the breeze of Yaman time of leisure knew , *** Passed hath that 'time , when I thought of the talk of the people . Now what fear since ,

Of this my secret pleasure , the Muhtasib knew . *** O thou that learnest Love's verse from Reason's book

I fear that , notwithstanding thy labour this subtlety by investigation , thou wilt not know . *** Bring wine of love for of the rose of the world's garden pleasure and ease boasteth not .

He who , the robbery of the autumn - wind death knew . *** The Heart - Ravisher God regarded not our ease union with Him time's business in this world

If not , on our part , the heart - expectation and the complete desire He knew . *** This versified jewel of verse that , from his mind , he evoked , Hafiz

The effect of the instruction of Asaf , the second , knew . ***
