Thy face , none hath seen ; and yet a thousand watchers are Thine ,

Still hidden in the folded rosebud , Thine many a nightingale^ is . *** Not so strange is it if to Thy street came

I , since in this country many a stranger traveller is . *** Although , I am far from Thee , far from Thee , be none

Near , my hope of union with Thee is . *** In love , the cloister islam and the tavern other religions are not different

Wherever , they are , the ray of the true Beloved's face is . *** There , where they give splendour to the work of the cloister ,

The bell of the Christian monk's cloister associated with the name of the cross is . *** Lover , who became , at whose state the true Beloved gazed not

O Sir the truth is there is no pain . Otherwise , the Physician God is . *** In short , all this lament of Hafiz is not in vain

Both a strange story and a wonderful tale , it is . ***
