A gazer , save upon Thy face ,...

A gazer , save upon Thy face , the pupil of our eye is not

A remembrancer save of Thee , our overturned heart is not . *** My tear bindeth the ihram of the tawaf of Thy sacred enclosure .

Although pure blood of the blood of my wounded heart , it my tear is not . *** If the poor lover scattered the counterfeit coin of his heart , accept it

Censure him not , for potent as to current coin he is not . *** In the end , to that lofty cypress , reacheth the hand of him ,

Whose spirit in search of Thee , defective is not . *** Before Thee , I boast not of 'Isa's life - giving

For like Thy lip , in soul - refreshing , expert he 'Isa is not . *** I who , in passion's fire for Thee , express no sigh ,

How can one say As to the stains of love of my heart , patient He is not . *** Be bound in the snare of the cage like the wild bird

If , flying in search of Thee , the bird of Sidrah Jibra , il is not - *** The first day day of Alast when I beheld Thy tress - tip I spake ,

Saying End to this chain's confusion is not . *** The desire of union with Thee alone , to Hafiz's heart is not

Who is he in whose heart desire of union with Thee is not ***
