Together are the head of our desire , and the threshold of the Mighty Friend God

For , whatever of good , or of bad passeth over our head is His will . *** My Friend's equal , I have not seen although of the gleaming moon and of the shining sun ,

The mirrors opposite to the Friend's face I placed . *** Of our straitened heart , giveth the breeze what news ,

That , like the folding of the leaves of the rose bud , tightly folded it the heart is . *** Not alone , am I a wine - drinker a lover of this cloister , profligate consuming the wine tavern , the stage of love

O many a great head in this workshop is only the dust of the pitcher *** Verily , Thou combedest Thy tress , ambergris - scattering ,

Since that the breeze became like civet ; and the dust , beperfumed with ambergris . *** The sprinkling of Thy face be every rose - leaf that is in the sward

The ransom of Thy lofty form be every cypress that is on the river - bank . *** In the description of His Love , even the tongue of speech is dumb

What room for the feeble reed , split of tongue , folly uttering *** Of happy omen Thy face came into my heart : my desire I shall gain :

For , after the happy omen , is the happy state . *** Not , at this time , is Hafiz's heart in the fire of search of love

For , in Eternity without beginning , it was the possessor of the mark of love like the self - growing wild tulip of Shlraz ***
