The messenger who arrived from...

The messenger who arrived from the land of my friend

Brought a charm, fragrant, and in the hand of my friend.

Wonderfully displayed her beauty and her glory

With the tales of noble and regal stand of my friend.

My heart took in the good news, though coy and shy

My heart readily will serve every command of my friend.

Thank heavens for the help of smiling fate

Runs smooth every errand of my friend.

The revolving orbs and the firmament have no say

They move at every wish and demand of my friend.

If the winds of calamity blow in both worlds

My eyes upon the composure, calm & bland of my friend.

Bring me a rare jewel, O gentle morning breeze

Since you have blown over the very sand of my friend.

We stand in Love's land, while our needs grand

Sweet dreams never brought a hair strand of my friend.

Hafiz, fear no foes who reprimand my friend

Thank God, I am not ashamed of me and of my friend.
