The ghazal

O king of the lovely the beloved ones of the world for grief of being alone , justice

Without Thee , to the soul , my heart hath come . Tis the time when thou shouldst come back ; and me safety , give *** Me , so far from Thee desirousness and farness made ,

That , from the hand , will depart the power of patience . *** O Beloved the pain of love for Thee is my remedy on the couch of unfulfilled desire

And O Beloved Thy memory , my consoler in the corner of solitude . *** In the compass of our fate , the point of the compass , are we

The favour is whatever Thou thinkest the order , whatever Thou orderest . *** In the world of profligacy of being a lover of God is neither thought of self , nor opinion of self :

In this religious order , Kufr is self - seeing and self - opinioning . *** O Lord to whom is it fit to utter this subtlety that , in the world ,

That lovely one of every place the true Beloved His face displayed not . *** Last night , to the morning breeze , complaint of His tress , I uttered

The breeze said A mistake This thy distraught thought , abandon of Him complain not ; whatever He wisheth , He doeth *** Here with the chain of His tress a hundred morning breezes keep dancing

O heart so long as thou measurest not the wind a thing impossible to do this is thy companion . *** Saki not a colour of decoration hath the sward of the rose without thy face ;

Moving make thy box - tree stature so that the garden thou mayst adorn . *** O Beloved ever joyous , remaineth not the rose of this garden of the world .

At the time of powerfulness perfection of beauty the feeble ones aid and their state , pity *** On account of this blue circle the sky bloody of liver I am give wine

So that , in the enamel - cup , this difficulty I may solve . *** Hafiz departed hath the night of separation come hath the sweet fragrance of morn

O lover of distraughtness auspicious be thy gladness . ***
