The ghazal
The produce of the workshop of existence and dwelling the whole world all this is naught
Bring wine of the love of God For the goods of the world all this is naught . *** The desire of the heart and of the exalted soul is the society of the Beloved
All that is my desire and , if not gained heart and soul , all this is naught . *** Fortune is that which , without the heart's blood , cometh to the bosom
And , if not , the garden of the Beloved gained with effort and toil all this is naught . *** For the sake of shade , endure not the favour even of the great Sidra and the great Tuba tree
For , O moving cypress , when well thou lookest , all this is naught . *** A space of five days it is that thou hast in this stage of favour
Rest pleasantly awhile . For Time all this is naught . *** O Saki We are waiting on the shore of the ocean of death ,
Regard it again . For from lip to mouth all this is naught . *** Take no thought of being rent with dishonour and be glad like the rose
On that account that , the power of the passing world all this is naught . *** Zahid beware be not secure of the sport of pride
For the path from the cloister to the temple of the Magians , all this is naught . *** Wailing and weeping have consumed me sorrowful
The need of narrating and of explaining apparently all this is naught . *** The name of Hafiz accepted the writing of honour in the whole world
But , in the opinion of profligates , the writing of profit and of loss all this is naught . ***
