Perchance , with desire of khilvat by the marge of a pool , thou sittest not ,

If not , every calamity , that thou experiencest , all thou experiences from self - seeingness . *** I conjure thee by God , Whose chosen slave , thou art ,

That , to this ancient slave , none thou choose prefer *** After this together are we and beggary . For , at the head of love's stage ,

To wretched way - farers lovers is no remedy save wretchedness . *** Thee , the Khusrau of those moon of face , respect and shame did

Afarin on thee for , worthy of a hundred such thou art . *** If , in safety , love's deposit I take , there is no fear

Easy is the state of being void of heart heart - bereft if be not the state of being void of faith infidelity *** If , as to the watcher's tyranny patience I exercise not , what may I do

To wretched lovers , is no remedy save wretchedness . *** From thy sincere slave , a disinterested word , hear ,

O thou that , the cynosure of great ones , truth beholding , art *** A dainty one like thee , pure of heart , pure of nature ,

That is best that , with evil men , thou sit not . *** Pity cometh mine that , to the spectacle of the sward , thou movest

For , more pleasant than the red rose and more fresh than the wild white rose , thou art . *** O rose beloved wonderful , with all thy grace thou sittest with the thorn the watcher

Apparently , in it , the good counsel of thy welfare thou seest . *** From the rose - garden , arose a morning breeze in desire of thee

For , like the beautiful , red , beperfumed rose ; and , like the wild white rose , fragrant thou art . *** From left and right , the bottle - play of my bloody tears thou seest :

If a moment , on this spectacle - place of my vision , thou sittest . *** O candle of Chigil with this delicacy , and heart - alluringness thou art

Worthy of the banquet - place of Khwaja Jalalu - d - Din , thou art . *** Taketh the patience of the heart of Hafiz , the torrent of these streaming tears ,

O pupil of my eye come to my aid . ***
