O Lord devise a means , whereby in safety my Beloved

May come back , and release me from the claw of reproach . *** Bring ye the dust of the Path of that travelled Beloved the necessarily existent One

That I may make my world - seeing eye His sojourn - place . *** Justice For , they have barred my Path on six sides

By the power of that mole , beard , tress , face , cheek , and stature . *** To - day , when I am in thy hand , show a little mercy

To - morrow , when I become clay in the grave what profit are tears of repentance *** O thou that of love expresses breath in relating and explaining ,

With thee no word have we save this Prosperity and safety be thine *** Darvish Lament not of the sword of friends

For this band of friends taketh the blood - price for the slain . *** Set fire to the religious garment for the curve of the Saki's eye - brow

Shattereth the corner of the prayer - arch of the service of the Imam . *** God forbid that of thy violence and tyranny I should bewail

The injustice of dainty ones is all daintiness and goodness . *** The long argument of thy tress - tip , Hafiz shorteneth not

This chain of argument is joined extended to the day of resurrection . ***
