Thou sawest that , save the desire of violence and of tyranny , my beloved aught i had not .

He shattered the covenant ; and , on account of our grief at the shattering grief had not . *** O Lord as guilty take him not . Although my heart , like the pigeon flying in love to Thee

He cast down and slew and respect for the prey of the sacred enclosure had not . *** Against me , on account of my ill - fortune , came this violence on the Beloved's part If not the Beloved ,

Save the way of courtesy and the path of liberality , aught had not . *** With all this violence every one who endured from Him no contempt ,

Everywhere he went , him honoured any one had not . *** Saki bring wine say to the Muhtasib

Deny us not . For such a cup even Jamshid had not . *** Every way - farer holy traveller or lover of God who took not the path to the sacred enclosure of His door ,

Unhappy , travelled the valley of love yet , the path to the sacred enclosure had not . *** Happy time urgeth the intoxicated one , who , this , and the next , world

Gave from the hand and any grief , more or less , had not . *** Hafiz do thou take the ball of eloquence . For the claimant ,

His was no skill at all and any information , he had not . ***
