The ghazal

From all the heart - ravishers , it is fit that thou 0 Muhammad shouldest take tribute

For , over all lovely ones prophets thou , crown - like , art chief . *** Thy two intoxicated eyes , the tumult of all Turkistan

To the curl of thy tress , Ma chin and Chin have given tribute . *** The whiteness of mercy of thy face appeared more luminous than the face of day

The darkness of vengeance of thy tress , more dark than the darkness of dark night . *** In truth , from this disease of love for , and of separation from , thee where shall I find recovery

If , from thee , my heart - pain reacheth no remedy . *** To the water of life of Khizr , thy small mouth hath given permanency

Over the sugar of Egypt , thy candy - like lip hath taken currency . *** O my soul from stone - heartedness , why shatterest thou

The feeble heart which , through feebleness , is fragile like crystal . *** How bindest thou the slender waist with a hair and loosedest

A great body like the huge elephant and rounded buttocks like a dome *** Thy hair is ever fresh like Khizr and thy mouth , the water of life

Thy stature , the cypress thy waist , a hair and thy chest , like lustrous ivory . *** In the head of Hafiz , the desire of a sovereign like thee hath fallen

Would to Heaven he Hafiz were the humble slave of the dust of thy door ***
