The ghazal

Love's path is a Path whereof the shore is none

And there , unless they surrender their soul , remedy is none . *** With reason's prohibition of wine affright us not and bring wine

In our Land , the work of the watchman reason work - is none . *** Every moment that to love thou givest thy heart is a happy moment ,

In the right work , need of praying to God to be directed aright is none . *** Ask thou thy own eye Who draweth us

O soul the sin of fortune and the crime of the star is none . *** Him the true Beloved one can see with the pure eye like the hardly visible crescent moon

The place of splendour of that moon - fragment , every eye is not . *** Reckon as plunder the path of profligacy . For this track ,

Like the path to the hidden treasure , evident to every one is not . *** In no way , Hafiz's weeping affected thee

Astonishment is mine at that heart , which less hard than the hard stone is not . ***
