[1]  The down the world's up - springing of the true Beloved's cheek ,eclipsed is the moon by which ,
Is a joyous ring ; but path is none out from it .

[2]   The eye - brow the world ,the stage of acquisition of love of the Friend God is the corner stone of the prayer - arch of fortune
There ,thy face rub thy need the degrees of the first and the last world and the ladders of loftiest stages ask from Him .

[3]   O thou that art the draught - drinker the holy traveller of the assembly of Jamshid the murshid ,perfect and excellent thy heart keep pure
For a mirror this is the cup world - viewing the heart of the murshid Alas for it .

[4]   The hypocritical conduct of the men of the monastery abids and the austere ones ,who for deceiving men ,made wailing me ,a wine - worshipper ,made .
Behold this smoke of their hypocritical wailing and sighing black with wine - worshipping became my book by which

[5]   To the Shaitan of grief ,whatever is possible say and do
With the wine - sellers to whom no access is his I have taken shelter from him .

[6]   Saki the luminous lamp of wine on the sun's path keep
Say : the torch of the morning enkindle from it .

[7]   O murshid on the day - record of our deeds ,a little water of thy kindness scatter
Perchance ,the letters of sin ,one can efface with it .

[8]   Hafiz ,who ,the arrangement of the assembly of the lovers straight made ,
The space of this banquet - place be not void of him

[9]   In this fancy ,that a city - beggar hath ,
May it be that ,one day ,the king may make recollection of him .

[1]  Der Freundes Wangen Flaum, Der selbst den Mond ergriffen, Ist zwar ein schöner Ring, Doch hat er keinen Ausweg.

[2]  Der Freundinn Augenbrau'n Sind stets des Glückes Wohnort, Dort reibe deine Stirn', Dort klage deine Nöthen.

[3]  Du Hefentrinker Dschems, O halte rein den Busen, Ein Spiegel ist er, ach! Vor dem sich nichts verstecket.

[4]  Der Zellenmänner Thun Macht mich zum Weinverehrer, Sieh' diesen Rauch nur an, Der meine Schriften schwärzet.

[5]  Sag' zu dem Teufel gram: Thu', was dir nur beliebet, Ich habe mich vor dir Zu Trunknen schon geflüchtet.

[6]  O Schenke, halt' das Glas Als Leuchte zu der Sonne, Und sag': hier zünde an Die Fackel deines Morgens.

[7]  O schütte Wasser aus Auf's Tagbuch unsers Thuns, Wegwaschest du vielleicht Damit der Sünden Zeiten.

[8]  Hafis hat angestellt Der Liebenden Versammlung, Daher sey dieser Platz Nie leer von seinem Daseyn!

[9]  Wird sich der Träumerei'n, Mit der sich Bettler schmeicheln, Wird sich derselben wohl Der Fürst einmal erinnern?

[1]  Wine without adulteration and the Saki pleasing are two snares of the Path ,
From whose noose ,even the wise ones of the world escape not .

[2]   Although ,lover ,profligate ,intoxicated and one black of book I am ,
To God a thousand thanks that the beloved ones of the city sinless are .

[3]   Tyranny is not the way of a darvlsh and of a way - farer .
Bring wine for these travellers are not men of the Path .

[4]   Regard not contemptible love's beggars .
For ,these are beltless kings and crownless khusraus .

[5]   With sense ,be .For ,at the time of the wind of independence pride
They purchase not for a barley - corn a thousand harvests of devotion .

[6]   Act not so that the splendour of the Heart - Ravisher God be shattered ,
When His servants flee and His slaves leap up to depart

[7]   The slave of resolution ,dreg - drinking one of colour ,I am
Not of that crowd that are blue of garment outwardly pious and black of heart inwardly impious

[8]   Save with the condition of respect ,plant not thy foot in the tavern
For ,the dwellers of its door are confidants of the king .

[9]   Hafiz love's rank is lofty .A resolution make
For to themselves ,lovers admit not those void of resolution .

[1]  Reiner Wein und schöne Schenken Sind zwey Netze, Denen selbst die Vielerfahrnen Nicht entgehen.

[2]  Ich bin zwar verliebt und trunken Schwarz gemerket, Aber dank sey Gott! die Freunde Sind unschuldig.

[3]  Weh' zu thun, ist nicht die Sitte Der Derwische, Bringe Wein, denn diese lieben Nicht die Tugend.

[4]  Du veracht' nicht Liebesbettler, Diese Leute Sind Monarchen ohne Kronen, Ohne Thronen.

[5]  Sey vernünftig, denn in Nöthen Werden tausend Körner unterwürf'gen Sinnes Nichts geachtet.

[6]  Sey nicht hart, der Stern der Schönheit, Wird zerbrochen, Wenn die Diener und Verehrer Sich entfernen.

[7]  Gerne dien' ich allen Leidern Reiner Seele, Aber nicht den blauen Männern Schwarzen Herzens.

[8]  Wenn du in die Schenke gehest, Geh' mit Ehrfurcht, Denn es sind, die drinnen wohnen, Königsfreunde,

[9]  Hoch, Hafis, sehr hoch erhaben Ist die Liebe, Liebende gestatten nimmer Feigen Zutritt.

[1]  Of the cypress and the pine the apparent Murshid what need .hath my garden of apparent existence that ,in the fresh spring of intoxication and of youth ,is all beflowered
Our lofty boxtree the true ,perfect ,love - experienced ,Murshid nurtured in the shade ,is less than who

[2]   O beloved youth the admonisher ,love forbidding What religion hast thou adopted ,
Wherein our blood is more lawful to thee than mother's milk

[3]   Since ,from afar ,thou seest the picture effects of grief sown in the world by the gardener ,Fate drink wine of love
The diagnosis ,we have made certain is the cure .

[4]   Forth from the threshold of the Pir of wine - sellers ,why draw I my head
In this his head ,is fortune in this his door ,tranquillity .

[5]   Love's pain is but one tale no more .Wonderful is this
That from every one lover whom I hear ,the tale is not repeated but uttered differently

[6]   Last night the day of covenant He the true Beloved ,God gave promise of union and ,in His head ,had the wine of intoxication of Lovers
To - day this upspringing place of elemental water ,the world ,the place of woe ,of self - seeing and of egotism let us see what He saith in His head is what .

[7]   Shiraz Hafiz's existence and the water of Ruknabad love ,life - giving and the breeze of pleasant air the soul's breathings
Them ,contemn not for though contemptible they are the lustre of adornment of seven territories of the world .

[8]   From the water of life love ,giving eternal life of Khizr ,whose place is the Land of Darkness man's elemental existence it is far
Up to our water ,whose fountain is God is greatest

[9]   We take spill not the honour of poverty and of contentment
To the king ,speak saying Daily victuals are destined by the Provider ,God

[10]   Hafiz how strange ,' the twig of candy is thy reed ,
Whose fruit verse is more heart - pleasing than honey and sugar .

[1]  Bedarf mein Garten wohl der Pinien, Cypreßen? Wem weicht der Buchs des Freundes genährt in meinem Schatten.

[2]  Bei deinem Haupt! o Knabe sag', weß Glaubens bist du, Daß unser Blut dir mehr als Muttermilch gedeiht!

[3]  Siehst du von weitem nur das Bild des Grames, trinke! Der Wunden Tiefe prüften wir, es hilft dies Mittel.

[4]  Warum soll ich mich von der Thür des Wirths entfernen? Hier wohnt das Glück, hier werden aufgethan die Wünsche.

[5]  Zerbrochne Herzen kaufet man auf unsrem Wege, Es wird der Handel hier auf andre Art getrieben.

[6]  Genuß versprach er mir, noch gestern bei dem Weine; Was sagt er heut, was lieget ihm denn wieder in dem Kopfe? Einförmig ist der Liebe Gram und seltsam ist er! Ich hörte keinen der sich wiederhohlet hätte.

[8]  O komm, es sehnet sich nach dir das Hoffnungsauge, Wie's Ohr der Fastenden nach dem Alla Ekber.

[1]  In need of the physician's care ,thy body be not
Vexed by injury ,thy tender existence be not

[2]   The safety of all horizons the whole world is in thy safety .
By any accident ,sorrowful thy person be not

[3]   O perfect murshid the beauty of the outward and of the inward is from the prosperity of thy well - being
Outwardly anguished ,inwardly afflicted ,thou be not

[4]   In this sward ,when autumn entereth upon plundering ,
To the straight cypress of lofty stature ,its path be not

[5]   In that place where thy beauty beginneth splendour ,
The power of reproach of the ill - seer and of the ill - approver be not

[6]   Every one ,who ,with the evil eye ,beholdeth thy moon - like face ,
Save rue - casting on the fire of grief for thee his life be pot .

[7]   From the sugar - scattering utterance ,of Hafiz seek recovery ,
So that need of the remedy of rose - water and of candy ,thine be not .

[1]  Nie dein Leib des Arzt's bedürftig sey! Allem Uebel fremd er sey!

[2]  Heil der Erde liegt in deinem Heil, Nie ein Fußfall dir beschwerlich sey!

[3]  Auf Gesundheit ruhet Schönheit, Reiz; Sie bei dir von auß', von innen sey!

[4]  Kömmt der Ost zu plündern auf die Flur, Vor den Cedern fern sein Stürmen sey!

[5]  Dort, wo deiner Schönheit Anmuth spielt, Böser Neid und Spott unmöglich sey!

[6]  Wer dein Mondgesicht mit bösem Aug' Schaut, der Gluth des Grams geopfert sey!

[7]  Zuckerwort Hafisens ist Arzney, Kandel und Julep nicht nöthig sey!

[1]  Ruby wine love for the true Beloved drink ; and the face of those moon of forehead Arifs of God behold
Contrary to the religious order of those Abids ,and Zahids ,outward worship .pers the beauty of these the Arifs of God behold .

[2]   Beneath the gilded garment ,nooses of prayer they the Arifs and the recognisers of God have
Notwithstanding their poverty the long - handedness loftiness of spirit of these short of sleeve the Arifs poor of resource behold .

[3]   For the harvest of both worlds ,their head ,they lower not
The brain and pride of beggars ,corn - gleaners ,behold .

[4]   The frown from the eye - brow full of frown ,the Friend looseneth not
The need of people of heart ,and the grace of the dainty beloved ones ,behold

[5]   From none ,the tale of the covenant of love ,I hear :
The non - fidelity of the society of friends and of fellow - sitters behold .

[6]   The means of release from imperious lust is to become captive to love
The fore - seeing mind of the fore - seers behold .

[7]   Love's polish ,the dust of Hafiz's heart taketh .
The purity of the pure mirror of those pure of faith behold .

[1]  Sieh röthlichen Wein, Sieh Mondengesichter, Sieh jenen zum Trotz Die Schönheit von diesen.

[2]  Sie tragen ein Band, Versteckt in der Kutte, Die Aermel sind kurz, Doch lang sind die Hände.

[3]  Sie beugen den Kopf Um Himmel und Erd' nicht, Ey siehe den Stolz Der kleinlichten Bettler. Es öffnet der Freund Die trotzigen Brau'n nicht O sieh wie darum Ihn Liebende bitten.

[5]  Noch hörte ich Nichts Vom Bunde der Liebe, O schaue die Treu' Der Freunde und Trauten.

[6]  Durch Liebe geknüpft Erhalt ich die Freiheit, So sorget der Sinn Vorsichtiger Liebe.

[7]  Es reinigt den Staub Hafisen die Liebe, O schaue, wie rein Der Spiegel des Sinns ist.

[1]  O Heart - ravisher thou art not a speech - recogniser .Here ,the fault is :
When thou hearest the speech of people' of heart speak not saying : A fault it is .

[2]   Neither to this world ,nor to the next world ,boweth my head filled with great ideas
Blessed be God for this tumult that ,in our head ,is .

[3]   Within this shattered heart ,I know not who is .
For ,I am silent and in clamour and tumult ,it my heart ,in which is the true Beloved is .

[4]   Forth from the screen ,went my heart .O Minstrel where art thou
Ho sing .For ,on account of this note ,in melody ,our work is .

[5]   To the world's work ,never was attention mine
In my sight ,Thy face its happy adorner thus is .

[6]   From a crude fancy that I mature ,nights I have not slept
Wine - sickness of a hundred nights ,I have the wine - house ,where is

[7]   With my heart's blood ,thus it is that the cloister became stained
If ye wash me in ruddy wine ,lawful at your hand it is

[8]   In the cloister of the magians ,me dear they hold for the reason
That ,in our heart ,a fire that dieth not ever is .

[9]   What was the melody that ,last night ,the minstrel played
Life passed and yet ,full of that melody ,my brain is

[10]   Last night ,within my heart ,the announcement of love for Thee ,they gave
Yet ,with desire ,full of that voice ,the plain of my heart is

[11]   Last night ,within us ,was the wine - ache of love for Thee
The time of worship ,where is The time of the place of prayer what is .

[12]   From that time when the cry of the true Beloved reached Hafiz .
With desire ,full of the resounding cry ,the mountain of his heart yet is .

[1]  Du fassest, Freundin, nicht das Wort, Hier liegt der Fehler. Hörst du's von einem Mann von Herz, Sag' nicht dies ist ein Fehler.

[2]  Es biegt mein Kopf sich diesem nicht, Nicht and'rem Leben, Gesegnet sey der Herr für Zwist, Der mir im Kopfe lieget.

[3]  Ich weiß nicht wer das kranke Herz Wohl mag bewohnen, Still bin ich doch, darinnen ist, Beständig Zank und Lärmen.

[4]  Dem Schleier ist mein Herz entflohn, Wo bist du, Sänger? O sing', es bringt noch dieser Ton, Vielleicht mein Herz zurechte.

[5]  Von jeher hatt' ich nichts zu thun, Mit Weltgeschäften, Dein Angesicht hat mir die Welt, Geschmückt für meine Augen.

[6]  Wie oft hab' ich ob deinem Bild, Kein Aug' geschlossen, Durch hundert Nächte trink ich Wein, Wo aber ist die Schenke?

[7]  Es ist die Zelle zwar befleckt, Vom Blut des Herzens, Wenn du mit Wein sie waschen willst, Hast du das Recht in Händen.

[8]  Es brennt in meinem Herzen Gluth, Die nie verlöschet, Deßwegen werd' ich hoch geschätzt, Im Kloster unsers Wirthes.

[9]  Wie, trillerte uns gestern wohl, In Schlaf der Sänger? Daß mir der Lebenshauch entfloh, Daß heut das Hirn noch voll ist. Man gab dem Herzen gestern Ruf, Von deiner Liebe, Aus Sehnsucht ist deßhalb die Brust, Gefüllt mit Sang und Klange.

[10]  Seitdem, als zu Hafisen kam, Der Ton des Liebchens, Ward aus Begier des Herzens Berg, Erfüllt vom Wiederhalle.

[1]  In the morning ,Jauza Gemini placed before me the preservation the small Kuran
That is The King's slave ,I am and the oath ,I ate .

[2]   Saki come for ,from effective fortune's aid ,
The desire that I desired became to me ,through God attainable .

[3]   A cup ,give for again in joy of the King's face ,
Elderly of head ,in my head ,is desire for a youthful one .

[4]   Waylay me not with the description of the limpid water of Khizr
From the King's cup ,a draught - drinker of Kausar's fountain ,am I .

[5]   O King if to the ninth heaven God's throne I cause the throne of excellence to reach ,
Of this majesty ,the purchased slave ,am I and of this door ,the wretched one .

[6]   A thousand years ,draught - drinker of Thy banquet ,I was
My disposition ,ardent of temperament ,water - drinking ,how may it abandon

[7]   If ,of the slave of this tale ,belief be not thine
Of perfect speech ,a proof I will bring .

[8]   If ,from thee ,I up - pluck my heart and ,from thee ,up - lift my love ,
On whom ,may I cast this love ; where ,may I take that heart

[9]   Mansur bin Muhamad Ghazi is my guard
From this auspicious name ,victorious over my enemies am I .

[10]   All in love for the King ,was my covenant of Alast
From life's highway to this covenant ,I pass .

[11]   Since ,in the King's name ,the sphere framed the Pleiades ,
Verse of pearl ,wherefore make I not Less than who ,am I

[12]   When ,from the King's hand ,I tasted the victuals like the mighty falcon ,
For the capture of the mean pigeon ,care how is mine

[13]   O King ,lion - seizer less ,how becometh ,if becometh
Attainable by me ,in thy shadow ,the country of ease

[14]   In the felicity of praise of thee ,my verse subdued a hundred countries of the heart
Thou mayst say that my speaking tongue is thy cleaving sword .

[15]   If ,like the morning breeze ,by a rose - bed ,I passed ,
Mine ,was neither love for the cypress nor desire for the cone - tree .

[16]   Thy perfume ,I perceived and to the memory of thy face ,
The Sakis of joy gave me one or two cups .

[17]   Not the slave's custom is intoxication with the juice of one or two grapes
Years endured ,the Pir ,tavern - cherisher ,am I .

[18]   With the revolution of the star and of the sky ,many a strife is mine
In this tale ,be the King's justice ,my ruler

[19]   Thanks to God ,that ,again ,in this height of court ,
The sound of my long wing - feather of flight the peacock of the ninth heaven heareth

[20]   Effaced be my name from the work - shop of the lovers of God
If mine be other employment save love for Thee .

[21]   For the capture of my heart ,the lion's whelp attacked
Lean ,if I be ,or if not ,the lion's prey I am .

[22]   O Thou ,the lovers of whose face are in number more than the atoms in the sun - beam
To union with Thee ,how may reach I who in capacity less than an atom ,am

[23]   Show to me ,the denier of the beauty of Thy face ,who is he
So that ,with the dagger of jealousy ,his eye I may bring forth .

[24]   On me ,fell the shadow of the symbolic sun of empire
Now ,as to the material sun of the east ,rest independence is mine .

[25]   Not brisk is the market of purpose of these deeds :
Neither splendour ,do I boast nor ease ,do I purchase .
