Save Thy threshold , my shelter in the world is none .

Save this door , my fortress - place is none . *** When the enemy Iblis , full of fraud , man - seducing draweth the sword , we cast away the shield in flight

For save weeping and wailing , our sword is none . *** From the tavern - street , why turn I away my face

For better than this , in the world , my way and path is none . *** If , into the harvest of my life , Time cast fire and consume it

Say Consume it for , equal to a little blade of grass , in my opinion , it life is none . *** I am the slave of the saucy eye of that straight stature ,

From whose wine of pride , at any one , glance is none . *** Thus it is , that , in every direction , I behold the snare of the Path

Save the shelter of His tress , my shelter is none . *** O King of the dominion of beauty go impetuously rein drawn

For at the head of a street , is it not a justice - seeker is none *** Be not in the pursuit of injury do whatever else thou desirest

For in our Shari'at , save this , a sin is none . *** In every city the eagle of violence hath drawn out his wing

The bow of a corner - sitter , and the arrow of a sigh is none . *** To the black tress and the dark mole give not the treasure of the heart of Hafiz ;

For to do deeds like these , the power of every black one the black tress and dark mole is none . ***
