O Breeze If thy path should chance by the Land of the Friend .

Bring a fragrant waft of air from the beperfumed tress of the Friend . *** By this soul I swear that , in thanks , I will surrender my Life for thee

If thou bring to me a message from the Friend *** And , if , even so , in that Presence difficult of approach no access be thine ,

Bring a little dust as collyrium for my eye from the door of the Friend . *** I , The beggar , where The longing desire for union with Him , where alas

Perchance , in sleep , I may behold the form of the aspect of the Friend . *** My pine - cone - like heart is trembling like the willow ,

In envy of the form and the pine - like stature of the Friend . *** Although , the Friend purchase us not for even a small thing ,

For a whole world , we sell not a single hair from the head of the Friend . *** If his Hafiz's heart be free from the bond of grief , what then

When poor Hafiz is the slave and servant of the Friend . ***
