Listen Saqui please pass around the cup

Let’s drink the wine of ecstacy well up

For Love seems so easy at first glance

But problems come, for such is fate and chance.

Much blood boils in the hearts of Lovers’ fear

Awaiting scent from the navel of the deer,

Which the cool breath of red dawn shall soon set free

The forelock of the Friend for all to see,

His musky curls are tossing like the sea.

 

How in the heart of my Beloved’s peace

Can I enjoy soft comfort and fair ease ?

When the bell for ringing the camel’s climb

Relentlessly doth sound its urgent chime.

So dip your prayer rug deep in ruby wine

When your Magian Teacher gives the sign .

For the true traveller understands the way

And never fails the Tavern, due fees to pay ,

The keeper demands his cash anew each day.

 

The night is black the waves are full of threat,

The whirlpool whirling is on destruction set.

How could light-loaded land lubbers know my state

Every selfish act conspired with fate

To ruin my pristine reputation

Fuel gossip and foolish disputation.

Oh Hafiz never desert your Faithful Friend  !

When once you have glimpsed Him this is the end

Renounce the World, all things on His fire do send.
