Divan Hafez (The Persian English Dynamic Lexicon):::: Digital Humanities

[1] Wenn mein Glücksgestirn mir Hülfe gewähret,Leg' ich die Hand an ihren Kleidsaum,Wenn ich zu Handen ihn bring', o welche Wonne!Bringt sie mich um, o welch ein Adel!

[2] Dieses Herz voll Hoffnung hoffet von KeinemGnädigen Blicks erhört zu werden,Ob ich gleich überall hin mit eignen Worten,Was ich erlitt, verkündet habe.

[3] Dieser Augenbrauen Krause hat meinenBitten die Thür nie aufgemachet,Wehe mir! Daß ich verlor der schönsten Jahre,Besseren Theil in solchen Wünschen.

[4] Ach, wann werden einst die Brauen des FreundesReichen die Hand uns armen Schwachen!Keinem gelang's noch den Pfeil der Herzbegierde,Solcher Gestalt in's Ziel zu schießen.

[5] Ha wie lange soll ich steinerne HerzenKosend mit Schmeicheleien nähren!Diese verzärtelte Zucht von bösen KindernFraget nicht viel nach ihrem Vater.

[6] In den Winkel zog ich mit Verlangen,Einsam zu seyn, und fromm zu leben,Wunderlich scheint mir's daher, daß aller Orten,Jünglinge Pauck' und Lauten schlagen.

[7] Eremiten sind unwissend, o singeLustigen Ton, und laß den ersten,Suche den Wächter voll Wein, er ist von Sinnen,Bringe nur Wein und fürchte Nichts sonst.

[8] Schauet nur den frommen Mann aus der Stadt an,Ißt er zu Nacht nicht Leckerbissen?Heilsam bekomme das Mahl, und die VerdauungDiesem mit Heu genährten Thiere.

[9] Wenn Hafis du auf dem Pfade der Liebe,Weiter hinaus zu gehen verlangest,Diene als Führer des Wegs der Wächter,Heiligen Grabs, Ali's zu Redschef.

[1] عکس روی تو چو در آینه جام افتاد
عارف از خنده می در طمع خام افتاد

[2] حسن روی تو به یک جلوه که در آینه کرد
این همه نقش در آیینه اوهام افتاد

[3] این همه عکس می و نقش نگارین که نمود
یک فروغ رخ ساقیست که در جام افتاد

[4] غیرت عشق زبان همه خاصان ببرید
کز کجا سر غمش در دهن عام افتاد

[5] من ز مسجد به خرابات نه خود افتادم
اینم از عهد ازل حاصل فرجام افتاد

[6] چه کند کز پی دوران نرود چون پرگار
هر که در دایره گردش ایام افتاد

[7] در خم زلف تو آویخت دل از چاه زنخ
آه کز چاه برون آمد و در دام افتاد

[8] آن شد ای خواجه که در صومعه بازم بینی
کار ما با رخ ساقی و لب جام افتاد

[9] زیر شمشیر غمش رقص کنان باید رفت
کان که شد کشته او نیک سرانجام افتاد

[10] هر دمش با من دلسوخته لطفی دگر است
این گدا بین که چه شایسته انعام افتاد

[11] صوفیان جمله حریفند و نظرباز ولی
زین میان حافظ دلسوخته بدنام افتاد

[1] O true Beloved when ,into the mirror of the cup of love the reflection of Thy face fell ,
From the laughter of wine love's glory into the crude desire of drinking the cup ,the Arif fell .

[2] With that splendour that ,in the mirror of the ruby the beauty of Thy face made ,
All this picture of created beings that are illusory into the mirror of fancy fell .

[3] All this reflection of wine sensual love and varied picture brutal love that have appeared
Is only a splendour of the face of the Saki God that ,into cup of our heart and into things possible fell .

[4] The jealousy of true love severed and made dumb the tongue of all the great ones of love the Arifs
Then into the mouth of the common people ,the mystery of grief for Him ,how fell

[5] From the masjid to the tavern ,I fell not of myself
From the covenant of eternity without beginning ,to me this result of the end tavern - haunting fell .

[6] When ,like the compass ,for the sake of revolution ,he moveth not ,what may he do
Who in the circle of time's revolution fell

[7] After coming out from the pit dimple of Thy chin ,in the curl of Thy tress ,my heart clung
Alas ,forth from the pit ,it came and into the snare ,fell .

[8] O Khwaja passed hath that time when thou sawest me in the cloister
Now with the face of the Saki and the lip of the cup ,my work fell .

[9] Beneath the sword of grief for Him ,it is proper to go dancing in joy
For ,that one who was slain of Him ,his end happy fell .

[10] Every moment ,another kindness to me of consumed heart is His
Behold ,how fit for reward ,this beggar fell .

[11] The Sufis ,all ,are lovers and glance of love players but ,
From the midst ,to bad name ,heart - consumed Hafiz fell .

[1] Ist der Wangen Wiederschein In des Glases Fluth gefallen, So sind Weise alsogleich Lächelnd durch den Wein gefallen.

[2] Wegen einer Schmeichelei, Die du deinem Spiegel machtest, Sind in meines Herzens Glas Solche Bilder eingefallen.

[4] Liebeseifer hat die Zung' Der Vertrauten abgeschnitten, Wie ist also dieses Wort Ihres Grams in's Volk gefallen.

[6] Wie der Zirkel in dem Kreis Muß sich in die Runde drehen, Wer in dieser Zeiten Kreis In den Wirbel ist gefallen. Nimmer Meister wirst du mich Künftighin in Schenken sehen, Denn ich bin nun auf das Glas, Auf des Freundes Aug' gefallen.

[7] Aus des Kinnes Grübchen griff Ich nach Ihres Haares Stricken, Ach! ich kam wohl aus dem Brunn, Aber bin in's Netz gefallen.

[9] Unter ihrem Schmerzenschwert' Muß man immer tanzen geh'n, Nie für die Erschlagenen Ist das End' gut ausgefallen.

[10] Immer neue Huld von ihr, Für mich armen Herzverbrannten, Sieh! wie ist der Bettler doch In des Fürsten Huld gefallen.

[11] Alle Frommen trinken Wein, Alle seh'n die Schönen gerne, Deinem Herzen, o Hafis, Spott und Schand ist zugefallen.

German Translation

[1] زهی خجسته زمانی که یار بازآید
به کام غمزدگان غمگسار بازآید

[2] به پیش خیل خیالش کشیدم ابلق چشم
بدان امید که آن شهسوار بازآید

[3] اگر نه در خم چوگان او رود سر من
ز سر نگویم و سر خود چه کار بازآید

[4] مقیم بر سر راهش نشسته‌ام چون گرد
بدان هوس که بدین رهگذار بازآید

[5] دلی که با سر زلفین او قراری داد
گمان مبر که بدان دل قرار بازآید

[6] چه جورها که کشیدند بلبلان از دی
به بوی آن که دگر نوبهار بازآید

[7] ز نقش بند قضا هست امید آن حافظ
که همچو سرو به دستم نگار بازآید

[1] O how happy the time when the Beloved cometh back .
When to the desire of the grief - stricken ,the grief - consoler cometh back

[2] Before the king of his fancy ,the black and the white of the eye ,I extended ,
In that hope that that imperial horseman might come back .

[3] If ,in the curve of his chaugan ,my head goeth not ,
Of my head what may I say and to what work is it that the head itself ,cometh back .

[4] Like dust ,dweller at the head of His path I have sat ,
In the desire that ,by this way ,He may come back .

[5] That heart ,to which the tip of His two tresses gave repose ,
Think not that ,in that heart ,rest cometh back .

[6] From December ,what tyrannies they were that the bulbuls endured
In the hope that ,again ,the fresh spring may come back .

[7] Hafiz from the painter of destiny God hope of that is
That ,to my hand ,like the cypress ,the idol may come back .

[1] O der guten Zeit! Wenn der Freund zurückkommt, Wann nach der Betrübten Wunsch, Der sie kränkt, zurückkommt.

[2] Nach dem Schah der Fantasie Sah ich heut mit halbem Schielen, Hoffend, daß der Reiterfürst Bald, sehr bald zurückkommt.

[3] Wenn mein Kopf nicht willig ist, Seinem Schlägel sich zu fügen, Was soll sagen ich vom Kopf, Wer wohl über ihn noch kommt.

[4] Ruhig saß ich, wie der Staub An dem Ende seines Weges Hoffend, daß auf diesem Pfad Er zu mir zurückkommt.

[5] Glaube mir, in's Herz, das sich Mit Beständigkeit dem Saume Seiner Locken hat ergeben; Nie Beständigkeit zurückkommt. Meine Thränen werden nie Am Gestade Wogen schlagen, Wenn sein Wuchs so fein wie Haar, Mich zu retten, noch zurückkommt.

[6] Was für Leiden tragen nicht In dem Winter Nachtigallen, In der Hoffnung, daß der Lenz Auf die Fluren bald zurückkommt.

[7] O Hafis, ich hoffe wohl, Von dem Maler meines Schicksals, Daß von der Cypreß' ein Zweig In die Hände mir zurückkommt.

[1] بلبل ز شاخ سرو به گلبانگ پهلوی
می‌خواند دوش درس مقامات معنوی

تا خواجه می خورد به غزل‌های پهلوی

[4] جمشید جز حکایت جام از جهان نبرد
زنهار دل مبند بر اسباب دنیوی

[5] این قصه عجب شنو از بخت واژگون
ما را بکشت یار به انفاس عیسوی

[6] خوش وقت بوریا و گدایی و خواب امن
کاین عیش نیست درخور اورنگ خسروی

[7] چشمت به غمزه خانه مردم خراب کرد
مخموریت مباد که خوش مست می‌روی

[8] دهقان سالخورده چه خوش گفت با پسر
کای نور چشم من بجز از کشته ندروی

[1] From the cypress - hough ,in Pahlavi shout ,the bulbul ,
Last night ,the lesson of the stages of spirituality the Masnavl of Jalalu - d - Din Rumi kept saying

[2] Come ,for the rose hath displayed the fire of Musa ,
So that ,from the fiery bush ,the subtlety of the unity of God thou mayst hear .

[3] Melody - measuring and jest - uttering ,are the birds of the garden ,
So that ,to Pahlavi ghazals and Persian subtleties wine the khwaja may drink .

[4] Naught from the world took Jamshld ,save the world - viewing cup ;
Ho on worldly chattels ,bind not thy heart .

[5] This tale of wonder of inverted fortune ,hear
Us ,the beloved ,with the revivifying breath of ' sa ,slew .

[6] Happy the time the quiet mat of beggary ; and the sleep thereon of tranquillity ,
For ,not befitting the khusravl crown is this ease .

[7] Man's house with the glance ,thy eye hath darkened
Thine ,be no wine - sickness For ,intoxicated ,happy thou goest .

[8] To his son ,the years endured old villager spake how well ,
Saying : O light of my eye save that sown ,thou reapest naught .

[9] Perchance ,more than his due Hafiz's allowance of wine the Saki gave ,
That disarranged became the Maulavi's turban - tassel .

[1] Noch gestern hielt die Nachtigall, Hoch auf Cypressenästen, Im Dialekte Pehlewi Kollegien der Liebe.

[2] Sie sprach: o komm', die Rose brennt Jetzt mit dem Feuer Moses; O komm, daß du vom Rosenstrauch Vernehmest Sinn der Einheit.

[3] Der Gärten Vögel singen jetzt In abgemeßnen Tönen, Damit bei Pelewigesang Auch der Wesir jetzt trinke.

[4] Des Glases Ruhm ist in der Welt Allein von Dschem geblieben, Ich bitte dich, o bind' dein Herz Nicht an der Erde Güter!

[5] Hör' diese wunderbare Ding' Vom umgekehrten Schicksal, Ermordet ward ich von dem Freund' Durch seines Mundes Odem.

[6] Die Zeit der Sicherheit der Ruh' Gedeihet wohl dem Armen, Denn für die Kaiserthronen ziemt Sich nicht die Lust und Freude.

[7] Dein Auge hat mit Schmeichelei'n Der Leute Haus verbrennet, Berausch' dich nicht, es stehet dir Ein kleiner Rausch am besten.

[8] Wie treffend sprach ein Alter nicht Das Wort zu seinem Sohne: Mein Augenlicht, du erntest nur, Was ich gesäet habe.

The perfume of the tress of ambergris of

Saying 0 wind thou sawest for us what calamities love for the face of the rose the true Beloved made .

And from this rose - bed eternity without beginning entangled in the thorn of the world with a thousand afflictions me made .

[3] I am the slave of resolution of that graceful one the true Beloved
Who ,without dissimulation and hypocrisy ,the work of liberality made .

[4] Of strangers ,ever I bewail not
For whatever He made that Friend God made .

[5] If of the Sultan ,I formed expectation ,a fault it was
If of the Heart - Ravisher ,I sought fidelity ,tyranny He made .

[6] Be that breeze of the morning pleasant to Him ,
Who ,the remedy for the grief of the night's sitters watchers made .

[7] If the breeze drew aside the veil of the rose the true Beloved and the tress of the hyacinth glories of manifestations
The knot of the coat of the rose - bud the patient traveller's heart loose it made .

[9] To the street of the wine - sellers ,the glad tidings take
That repentance of austerity and of hypocrisy ,Hafiz hath made .

The perfection of faith and of fortune ,the Father of Fidelity made .

[46] Breeze of the morning of happiness for that trace that thou knowest ,
To a certain one's street ,pass at that time that thou knowest .

[47] The footman of the chamber of mystery ,thou art and on the head of the Path ,is my eye
By manliness ,hot by order ,urge in that way ,that thou knowest .

[48] Say : From my hand passed my feeble soul .For God's sake ,
From Thy ruby lip soul - refreshing ,give that that Thou knowest .

[49] O true Beloved these few words I wrote ,in such a way that the stranger hath not known
Them by way of kindness ,do Thou also read in such a way that Thou knowest .

[50] On Thy girdle ,gold - woven ,hope how may I not establish
O idol in that waist ,is a subtlety that Thou knowest .

[51] With us ,the image of Thy slaying sword is the tale of the thirsty one and of water whereto he desireth to reach
Thy own captive ,Thou seizest .Slay in such a way that Thou knowest .

[52] Hafiz in this matter ,one are Turki and Tazi Arabian
Love's tale ,relate in every tongue language that thou knowest .

[53] Two friends holy travellers good of understanding ,and of old wine a quantity ,two mans ,'
A little leisure ,and a book ,and a sward - corner .

[54] For this ,and the next ,world I give not this state
Though ,of carpers momently ,fall upon me

[55] Every one who ,for the world's treasure ,gave the treasure of contentment ,
Sold ,the precious Yusuf of Egypt for a very paltry sum .

[56] Come ; for not less becometh the amplitude of this workshop the world
By the austerity of one like thee or ,by the profligacy of one like me .

[57] On the day of events of death with cheering wine ,'tis necessary to tell one's grief
For ,on none ,is reliance at a time like this .

[58] Happy of heart ,in a corner sit and behold
That none keepeth in mind so strange a calamity .

[59] In the hand of the mean the watcher I keep seeing my idol the beloved
Thus ,the vengeful sky recognised the right of service of one like me .

[60] In the mirror of the Picture - establisher God the hidden form ,behold
If ,for thee out of the country of contentment ,desire maketh a native land .

[61] O heart strive thou for patience .For God delivereth not
A seal - ring so precious as patience to the hand of an evil one .

[62] From the fierce wind of vicissitude ,one cannot see ,
That ,in this sward ,hath been even a red rose ,or a wild white rose .

[63] From this simum blast of lust that ,by the garden - borders ,passed ,
Wonder that from the heart of love's lust the colour of a rose remaineth ,or the perfume of a jessamine .

[64] I have heard that ,for dogs ,thou appointest a collar
On Hafiz's neck ,why placest thou not a rope

[65] Hafiz in this calamity ,ruined became time's temper
Where is the thought of a physician or the judgment of a Barhaman

[66] Drink the cup of the wine of unity of a man
So that ,by it grief's root ,up from the heart ,thou mayst pluck .

[67] Expanded ,keep the heart ,like the cup of wine
Head closed how long like a large jar

[68] When ,from the jar of selflessness ,a ritl thou drinkest ,
Less of thyself voluntarily thou boastest of self .

[69] Like the humble and worthless stone at thy foot be ,not like the water of the cloud glorying in sublimity
All colour of deceit ,thou mixest and wet of skirt lust - stained thou art .

[70] To wine ,bind the heart ,so that ,like a man ,
The neck of hypocrisy and of piety thou mayst shatter .

[71] Arise ,and ,like Hafiz ,an effort in the service of the Pir of tarikat make so that ,perchance ,
Thyself ,at the true Beloved's foot ,thou mayest cast .

[72] Tis morning ; and ,droppeth hail from the cloud of the winter - month Bahman
The requisites of the morning cup ,prepare and give a cup of one ' man .'

[73] The blood red wine of the cup ,drink for lawful is its blood
In the work of the cup ,engaged be ; for 'tis a work fit to be done .

[74] If ,at dawn ,thee ,wine - sickness give headache ,
Verily ,best ,that the forehead of the vintner ,thou shatter .

[75] Saki at hand to give the cup be for ,in ambush for us ,is grief
Minstrel so that grief may not reach us keep this very path of song that thou singest .

[76] Give wine for ,the secret to my ear ,the harp hath brought and said
Happily pass life and ,hear this bowed Pir the harp

[77] Hafiz by the independence of profligates ,I conjure thee drink wine ,
So that ,thou mayst hear the song of the Singer ,God the Independent One .

[78] Into the sea of self and self - praise ,I am fallen .Bring
Wine ,so that freedom from self and self - praise me ,it may give .

[79] Hafiz in the rivulet of the eye ,the plant of thy stature
Drank blood ,and established fruit .It thou wishest to up - pluck .

[80] O thou who ,in our slaughter ,mercy exercisest not
Profit and capital ,thou consumest manliness ,thou showest not .

[82] Since ,with a corner of thy eye ,our grief it is possible to take ,
The part of justice it is not ,that our remedy for freedom from grief thou makest not .

[83] Since ,in hope of thee ,our eye is the ocean through weeping why is it that
On the ocean - shore ,in recreation ,passing thou makest not

[84] The tale of every violence that ,of thy gentle nature ,they made ,
Is the word of the interested and is therefore discredited Those deeds of violence thou doest not .

[85] O Zahid if our beloved display splendour to thee by visiting thee
From God ,save wine and the beloved ,a wish thou makest not .

[86] O Hafiz adoration of his eye - brow curved like the prayer - arch ,make
For save here ,a prayer from sincerity's source thou makest not .

[87] This my subtlety ,hear that ,free from grief ,thyself thou mayst make ;
Blood of grief thou drinkest ,if search for victuals ,not placed intended for thee thou makest .

[88] In the end ,the clay of the goglet - maker potters thou wilt become ;
Now ,think of the pitcher of thy heart that ,it ,full of wine of ma'rifat and of love thou mayst make .

[89] If ,of those men thou be ,whose desire is paradise ,
O Pari - born ease with man ,how long is it that thou makest

[90] On the sitting - place of the great ,boastingly it is impossible to lean ,
Unless ,the chattels of greatness ,all prepared ,thou makest .

[91] The writing of God's bounty ,how taketh away thy heart stuffed with sensual claims and ideas of impurity
Unless pure of the stuffed picture ,the leaf of thy heart thou makest

[92] O Khusrau of those sweet of mouth Hafiz rewards are thine ,
If ,to Farhad ,heart - fallen ,a glance thou makest .

[93] Hafiz if back to the Merciful ,thy own work thou pass ,
O great the pleasure that with fortune God - given ,thou makest .

[94] O breeze the service of Khwaja Jallalu - d - Din do ,
Till ,full of the lily of the valley and of the noble lily ,the world thou makest .

[95] O heart in the Beloved's street ,passing thou makest not
The chattels of conjunction ,thou hast and a work thou doest not .

[96] In the hand ,the chaugan of desire yet the ball thou strikest not
In the hand ,a game like this and a prey thou makest not .

[97] This red blood that ,into thy liver ,waveth ,
For the work use of thy face - colour ,a point why is it that thou makest not

[98] Musky fragrant becometh not creation's breath ; because swiftly like the wind ,
On the dust of the Beloved's street ,passing ,thou makest not .

[99] If ,with the soul of grief ,others have purchased the Beloved ,
O heart this deed ,once ,thou doest not .

[100] From this sward the world I fear that thou takest not the sleeve of the rose ma'rifat
For ,the endurance of a thorn from its rose - bed ,thou sufferest not .

[101] To the dust thou castest ,the cup joyous and full of wine and wine
And of the calamity of wine - sickness ,thought thou makest not .

[102] Enclosed in the sleeve of thy soul ,are a hundred musk - pods
Them ,a sacrifice for the Beloved's tress ,thou makest not .

[103] Hafiz go .For the service of the Friend's court ,
If all do ,once thou doest not .

[104] In the morning time ,a way - farer ,on the confines of a land ,
Kept saying this enigma to a companion

[105] O Sufi pure ,becometh wine at that time ,
When ,in bottle ,itbringeth forth accomplisheth a forty days' space .

[106] If the finger of a Sulaiman be not to wear it
What special excellence giveth the engraving of a seal stone

[107] A hundred times ,vexed is God with that khirka ,
Whereof ,a hundred idols of hypocrisy are in a sleeve .

[108] Dark became the inward parts .It may be that ,from the hidden ,
A lamp ,may uplift a khilvat - sitter .

[109] Though only a name ,without trace of reality is generosity ,
Yet thy need present to a noble one

[110] O Lord of the harvest recompense shall be thine ,
If ,a little pity ,thou show to a poor corn - gleaner .

[111] In none ,I see pleasure and ease
Neither ,the remedy for a heart nor ,the pain of working for a faith .

[112] Neither hope of loftiness to the lofty spirit
Nor love's picture on the tablet of a fore - head .

[113] Neither for Hafiz ,present reading the Kuran and khilvat ;
Nor for the sage ,a knowledge of certainty .

[114] The wine - house - door the threshold of the perfect murshid show so that I may inquire ,
My own end from a fore - see - er .

[115] Although the way of lovely ones is cruel haughty of nature ,
What will it be if thou be content with a sad humble one

[116] Perchance ,with desire of khilvat by the marge of a pool ,thou sittest not ,
If not ,every calamity ,that thou experiencest ,all thou experiences from self - seeingness .

[117] I conjure thee by God ,Whose chosen slave ,thou art ,
That ,to this ancient slave ,none thou choose prefer

[118] After this together are we and beggary .For ,at the head of love's stage ,
To wretched way - farers lovers is no remedy save wretchedness .

[119] Thee ,the Khusrau of those moon of face ,respect and shame did
Afarin on thee for ,worthy of a hundred such thou art .

[120] If ,in safety ,love's deposit I take ,there is no fear
Easy is the state of being void of heart heart - bereft if be not the state of being void of faith infidelity

[121] If ,as to the watcher's tyranny patience I exercise not ,what may I do
To wretched lovers ,is no remedy save wretchedness .

[122] From thy sincere slave ,a disinterested word ,hear ,
O thou that ,the cynosure of great ones ,truth beholding ,art

[123] A dainty one like thee ,pure of heart ,pure of nature ,
That is best that ,with evil men ,thou sit not .

[124] Pity cometh mine that ,to the spectacle of the sward ,thou movest
For ,more pleasant than the red rose and more fresh than the wild white rose ,thou art .

[125] O rose beloved wonderful ,with all thy grace thou sittest with the thorn the watcher
Apparently ,in it ,the good counsel of thy welfare thou seest .

[126] From the rose - garden ,arose a morning breeze in desire of thee
For ,like the beautiful ,red ,beperfumed rose ; and ,like the wild white rose ,fragrant thou art .

[127] From left and right ,the bottle - play of my bloody tears thou seest :
If a moment ,on this spectacle - place of my vision ,thou sittest .

[128] O candle of Chigil with this delicacy ,and heart - alluringness thou art
Worthy of the banquet - place of Khwaja Jalalu - d - Din ,thou art .

[129] Taketh the patience of the heart of Hafiz ,the torrent of these streaming tears ,
O pupil of my eye come to my aid .

[130] O Saki 'tis the shade of the cloud ,and spring ,and the stream - bank
I say not ,do what .Of the men of heart Sufis thou art .Dothou thyself say .

[131] From this picture of outward Sufis cometh not the perfume of one colouredness constancy Arise ,
With pure wine ,the deceit - stained and tattered garment of the Sufi ,wash .

[132] Mean of nature ,is the world on its generosity ,rely not
O world - experienced one from the mean ,stability of foot do not thou - seek .

[133] Thy ear open .For ,this lament ,the bulbul saith
Khwaja deficiency commit not ; the rose of the grace of God smell .

[134] Thee ,two counsels I make ,Hear ; and a hundred treasures bear away :
By the door of pleasure ,enter in the path of defect ,do not strive .

[135] The true Beloved's face ,th'ou seekest Fit ,the mirror of the heart make ;
If not ,ever blossometh not the red rose and the wild white rose from hard iron and from base brass .

[136] Before that ,dust in the wine - house thou becomest
In the pavilion of the wine - house ,a space of one or two days ,strive .

[137] For thanks for that ,that again to spring thou hast reached ,
The root of goodness ,plant ; the rose of the grace of God smell .

[138] Thou saidest From our Hafiz ,cometh the perfume of hypocrisy
Afarin be on the breath for well thou broughtest a great perfume .

[139] From the cypress - hough ,in Pahlavi shout ,the bulbul ,
Last night ,the lesson of the stages of spirituality the Masnavl of Jalalu - d - Din Rumi kept saying

[140] Come ,for the rose hath displayed the fire of Musa ,
So that ,from the fiery bush ,the subtlety of the unity of God thou mayst hear .

[141] Melody - measuring and jest - uttering ,are the birds of the garden ,
So that ,to Pahlavi ghazals and Persian subtleties wine the khwaja may drink .

[142] Happy the time the quiet mat of beggary ; and the sleep thereon of tranquillity ,
For ,not befitting the khusravl crown is this ease .

[143] Naught from the world took Jamshld ,save the world - viewing cup ;
Ho on worldly chattels ,bind not thy heart .

[144] Darvish and beggar ,I am yet ,equal ,I make not
The ragged felt darvish cap to a hundred splendid khusravl crowns .

[145] To his son ,the years endured old villager spake how well ,
Saying : O light of my eye save that sown ,thou reapest naught .

[146] Man's house with the glance ,thy eye hath darkened
Thine ,be no wine - sickness For ,intoxicated ,happy thou goest .

[147] This tale of wonder of inverted fortune ,hear
Us ,the beloved ,with the revivifying breath of ' sa ,slew .

[148] To the slave's verse ,wine drink .Thine ,be no heart - straitedness
On the head of worldly chattels ,be dust after thee .

[149] Perchance ,more than his due Hafiz's allowance of wine the Saki gave ,
That disarranged became the Maulavi's turban - tassel .

[150] O thou void of news of love strive that the master of news ,thou mayst be
So long as way - farer thou art not ,road - guide how is it that thou mayst be

[151] In the school of truths and of ma'rifat before love's master the murshid ,perfect and excellent
Ho O son strive that ,one day worthy to be father old thou mayst be .

[152] Far from love's degree ,thee ,sleeping and eating put
To love ,thou attainest at that time when sleepless and foodless thou shalt be .

[153] When ,on thy heart and soul ,the light of God's love falleth ,
By God I swear that fairer than the sky's resplendent sun thou shalt be .

[154] From the copper of thy existence ,like men of the Path tarikat thy hand wash ,
So that love's alchemy ,thou mayst obtain and gold thou mayst be .

[155] From head to foot ,thine all God's light shall be ,
When footless and headless the world's chattels and ease abandoned in the Path of Him possessed of majesty ,thou shalt be .

[156] A moment ,immersed in God's sea ,be think not ,
That ,to the extent of a single hair ,with the water of seven all the seas of the world wet ,thou shalt be .

[157] If the face of God be the spectacle - place of thy vision
After this ,not a doubt remaineth that the possessor of vision ,thou shalt be .

[158] It ,below and above ruined the foundation of thy existence be ,
Think not in thy heart that ,below and above ,thou mayst be .

[159] Hafiz if in thy head be desire of union with the true Beloved
It is necessary that the dust of the court of Him possessed of vision ,thou shouldest be .

[160] In the morning ,the invisible speaker of the wine - house with fortune - wishing ,
Said O Hafiz come back for an old friend of this court thou art .

[161] Like Jamshld ,a draught of wine ,drink ,so that ,of the mystery of the angels ,
Thee ,the ray of the cup ,world - viewing ,may give news .

[162] At the wine - house door ,are Kalandar - profligates ,
Who take away and give the imperial diadem .

[163] Beneath the head ,the brick and the foot on the summit of the seven stars Pleiades
Behold the hand of power and the dignity of one possessed of dignity

[164] Together are our head and the door of the wine - house ,the side of the vault whereof
Is uplifted to the sky ,though the wall be of this lowliness .

[165] O traveller of the Path to the beggars of the wine - house door ,
Courteous be if ,acquainted with the mysteries of God ,thou be .

[166] O heart if thee ,the kingdom of poverty ,they give ,
Thy least territory will be from the moon above to the fish beneath supporting the earth

[167] Without the road - fellowship of Khizr ,this path travel not
'Tis the zulmat fear the danger of road - losing .

[168] The door of poverty ,thou knowest not how to beat .From the hand ,let not go ,
The seat of Lordship ,and the royal assembly of TQran .

[169] O Sikandar patiently sit useless grief ,suffer not
For ,thee ,the water of life ,they give not even on account of sovereignty .

[170] Hafiz ,crude of greed of this tale ,have shame
What is thy work ,reward for which two worlds thou desirest

[171] O them ,in whose face are revealed the splendours of sovereignty ;
And ,in whose thought ,are concealed divine philosophies

[172] In the country of faith ,thy reed it ,may God bless
A hundred fountains of the limpid water of life from a small ink - drop opened .

[173] On Ahriman ,shine not the splendours of the ism - i - a'zam ,
Thine ,is the country and the seal - ring .What thou wishest ,order .

[174] Doubt in Sulaiman's pomp ,whoever displayeth ,
On his wisdom and knowledge ,even the bird and the fish will in mockery laugh .

[175] Though ,sometimes ,on his head ,the cap of sovereignty ,the hawk putteth ,
The usage of sovereignty ,the birds of the mountain of Kaf well know .

[176] That sword ,to which ,out of its own bounty ,the sky giveth lustre ,
Alone ,without the aid of an army ,will sever the world .

[177] In respect of the friend and of the enemy ,pleasantly writeth in the magic figure thy reed
The amulet ,life - increasing for the friend sorcery ,life - decreasing for the enemy

[178] O them ,whose elements are created of the alchemy of honour
And thou ,whose fortune is safe from the disaster of ruin

[179] If ,on quarry and mine ,a flash of thy sword fall ,
To the ruby ,red of face ,it giveth the hue of withered yellow grass .

[180] O King tis a life time since void of wine was my cup
Behold thereof from the slave ,a claim ; and ,from the muhtasib ,testimony

[181] The weakness of the night - sitters ,I know ,thy heart will pity
If ,of the breeze of the morning - time ,my state thou ask .

[182] Saki Murshid from the fountain of the tavern of ma'rifat a little water bring ,
So that ,from the wonder of the monastery pride of our own devotion the khirkas ,we may wash and ,in supplication and in submission to God ,engage

[183] In Adam's household ,as long as the way of sovereignty was ,
Like thee ,none hath known this science of sovereignty as it is .

[184] Cometh not violence from the cruel sky so long as angel of quality thou art
Oppression on me departed from the world ,sinee world - shelter thou art .

[185] When ,on the sin of pure Adam ,lightning flashed ,
Us ,the claim to sinlessness how adorneth befitteth

[186] O asylum of created beings O bestower of gifts
On poor me whom calamities have visited mercy show

[187] Hafiz since ,sometimes ,thy name the King taketh mentioneth
To him ,grief on account of fortune display not in pardon - seeking ,come back .

[188] Not ,in all the cloisters of the magians ,is like me a distraught one
In one place ,the khirka my existence is the pledge for wine the book the heart in another place .

[189] The heart ,which is a royal mirror ,hath by worldly affairs and by the dross of sin a great dust ,the prohibitor of divine bounty
From God ,I seek the society of one ,luminous of opinion .

[190] From my eye to the skirt ,I have established streams of tears so that ,per .chance ,
In my bosom ,they may place one ,straight of stature .

[191] The bark shaped cup ,bring for ,without the Beloved's face ,
From the heart's grief ,every corner of the eye hath become a great ocean of tears

[192] By the hand of an idol ,wine - selling ,repentance I have made
That again ,wine I drink not without the face of a banquet - adorner .

[193] The mystery of this subtlety ,perchance ,the candle will bring to its tongue
If not ,for speech ,the moth hath not even a little solicitude .

[194] To me ,mistress - worshipping ,speak not of aught beside
For ,beyond her and the cup of wine ,for none is mine ,even a little solicitude .

[195] If of the way of its beauteous eye ,the narcissus boasted ,grieve not for ,vision ,it hath not
The man of vision goeth not in pursuit of a non - see - er .

[196] How pleasantly to me came this tale when in the morning time ,said ,
At the door of the wine - house ,with drum and reed ,a Christian

[197] If the being a musulman be of this sort that Hafiz is ,
Alas ,if ,after to - day ,be a to - morrow .

[198] In my eye ,the eye - brow of one moon of form ,I have made
The fancy of one fresh of down ,I have pictured a place .

[199] The hope is that the order of my love - play
May reach from that bow - eyebrow to the rank of a beautiful Tughra .

[200] From the hand ,went my head from expectation ,my eye consumed
In desire of the head and of the eye of an assembly - adorner .

[201] In that place where ,with a glance ,the lovely ones strike the sword ,
Wonder not ,at a head which ,hath fallen severed at a foot .

[202] From separation perturbed is my heart ; fire to the khirka ,I will set and ,from this ,escape
Come ,come for ,glorious ,it will make a spectacle .

[203] Since ,from His the true Beloved's face the effulgent moon in the bedchamber is mine ,
For the twinkling of the star the illusory beloved where is even a little solicitude

[204] My heart's rein I ,the darvlsh ,have given to that one God
To whom ,for any one's crown ,or throne ,is not even a little solicitude .

[205] Separation or union what martereth it The Friend's will ,seek
For ,from Him ,aught beside union with Him ,vain is a wish .

[206] In the day of events of death make ye our coffin of the lofty cypress ,
For ,we go with the mark of a lofty one .

[207] For scattering on Hafiz through exceeding desire the fishers bring forth pearls ,
If Hafiz's bark should reach a sea .

[208] A salutation ,like the pleasant perfume of friendship ,
To that man of the eye of light

[209] A salutation ,like the light of the heart of the pious
To that candle of the khilvat - place of piety .

[210] None of my fellow - companions in his place ,I see
With grief ,my heart is become blood .Saki the murshid where art thou

[211] The wine ,sufl - overthrowing ,they sell where
For ,in torment ,I am from the hand of austerity of hypocrisy .

[212] The covenant of society ,the companions have so shattered ,
That thou mayst say Verily ,hath not been friendship .

[213] Thy face ,away from the street of the magians ,turn not .For ,there ,
They sell the key of the opening of difficulty .

[214] Although within limit ,the bride of the world hath beauty ,
Beyond limit ,she taketh the way of unfaithfulness .

[215] My shattered heart if it's be a desire ,
Desireth not ,from those stone of heart ,a mumiya .i .

[216] Thee ,the chemistry of happiness ,I will teach
From bad fellowship ,separation ,separation

[217] O lust of greed if thou leave me ,
Great sovereignty contentment I will make in beggary .

[218] Hafiz of time's violence ,complain not
O slave what knowest thou divine work

[219] O king of the lovely the beloved ones of the world for grief of being alone ,justice
Without Thee ,to the soul ,my heart hath come .Tis the time when thou shouldst come back ; and me safety ,give

[220] Me ,so far from Thee desirousness and farness made ,
That ,from the hand ,will depart the power of patience .

[221] O Beloved the pain of love for Thee is my remedy on the couch of unfulfilled desire
And O Beloved Thy memory ,my consoler in the corner of solitude .

[222] In the compass of our fate ,the point of the compass ,are we
The favour is whatever Thou thinkest the order ,whatever Thou orderest .

[223] In the world of profligacy of being a lover of God is neither thought of self ,nor opinion of self :
In this religious order ,Kufr is self - seeing and self - opinioning .

[224] O Lord to whom is it fit to utter this subtlety that ,in the world ,
That lovely one of every place the true Beloved His face displayed not .

[225] Last night ,to the morning breeze ,complaint of His tress ,I uttered
The breeze said A mistake This thy distraught thought ,abandon of Him complain not ; whatever He wisheth ,He doeth

[226] Here with the chain of His tress a hundred morning breezes keep dancing
O heart so long as thou measurest not the wind a thing impossible to do this is thy companion .

[227] Saki not a colour of decoration hath the sward of the rose without thy face ;
Moving make thy box - tree stature so that the garden thou mayst adorn .

[228] O Beloved ever joyous ,remaineth not the rose of this garden of the world .
At the time of powerfulness perfection of beauty the feeble ones aid and their state ,pity

[229] On account of this blue circle the sky bloody of liver I am give wine
So that ,in the enamel - cup ,this difficulty I may solve .

[230] Hafiz departed hath the night of separation come hath the sweet fragrance of morn
O lover of distraughtness auspicious be thy gladness .

[231] O heart if ,from that pit of the chin of the true Beloved thou comest forth ,
Everywhere that thou goest ,quickly regretful ,thou comest forth .

[232] It is possible that even with a little water thee ,the sky may not aid
If ,thirsty of lip ,and hopeless from the fountain of life thou comest forth .

[233] Sense keep for if lust's temptation thou heed ,
From the garden of Rizvan ,like Adam ,thou comest forth .

[234] In desire of seeing thee ,like the radiant morning ,my soul I surrender ;
Possibly ,like the gleaming sun ,thou mayest come forth .

[235] Like the breeze ,on thee ,the breath of blessing I send to such a degree
That ,from the rose - bud ,like the rose ,joyous and laughing thou comest forth .

[236] In the dark night of separation from thee ,to the lip ready to depart came my soul
'Tis the time when like the shining moon ,thou comest forth .

[237] From my two eyes ,on the dust of thy door ,I have established a hundred streams
It may be that ,like the moving cypress thou mayest come forth .

[238] In the house of grief and of reproach ,how long sittest thou
'Tis time that ,by the Sultan's fortune ,thou shouldst come forth .

[239] Hafiz think not that that Yusuf ,moon of face the Beloved
Again cometh to thee and that ,from the hut of sorrow ,thou comest forth .

[240] Wine ,demand rose - scattering ,make from time ,what seekest thou
Thus ,at morn ,to the bulbul spake the rose .What sayest thou

[241] To the rose - garden ,the cushion take so that of the lovely one and of the Saki ,
The lip ,thou mayst take ,and the cheek ,kiss so that wine thou mayst drink and the rose ,smell .

[242] Let us see ,in whose fortune will be thy laughing rose - bud
O bough of the rose ra'na for whose sake ,growest thou

[243] O beloved the box - tree of thy stature proudly move ; and ,the resolution of sauntering in the garden ,make
So that ,from thy stature ,the lofty ,straight cypress may learn heart - seeking .

[244] To - day ,when full of tumult of the purchaser is thy market ,
Get ,and establish a little road - provision out of the capital of goodness .

[245] As ,in the thoroughfare of the breeze ,is the flaming candle ,so is thy good going 'tis profitless
A little profit of skill ,derive out of the capital of goodness .

[246] That tress ,every ringlet whereof is worth a hundred musk - pods of Chin ,
Happy had it been if had been its perfume from happy disposition

The bulbul to melody - making ; Hafiz to prayer - uttering .

[2] Ein Chan der Chane, und ein Fürst Der Fürsten von Geburt, Der es verdienet, daß du ihn Die Weltenseele nennst.

[3] Das Auge hat zwar nichts geseh'n, Blind glaubt es deinem Glück. Sey mir willkommen, sey willkomm, Du, Gottes Gnaden werth!

[4] Und gehet ohne dein Gebet, Der Mond am Himmel auf, Du schneidest ihn entzwei, wie einst Ahmed durch's Wunderwerk.

[6] Du kräusle deine Locken auf, Wie sie der Thürke kräus't, Denn du vereinst den hohen Muth, Das Glück von Dschengischan.

[7] Ich trinke weit von dir entfernt, Dir zur Gesundheit Wein, Denn auf dem Weg der Geister giebt's Sonst keine Station.

[8] Die Rose Farsistans entblüht Für mein Vergnügen nicht. Wie schön ist nicht des Tigris Fluth, Und durchgewürzter Wein.

[9] Wie kann sich ein verliebtes Haupt, Dem's an des Liebchens Thür Als Staub zu bleiben nicht gefällt, Sich retten vor dem Gram!

[10] O Morgenwind! bring' mir den Staub Von meinem Freunde zu, Womit Hafis erleuchten wird Des Auges dunkle Nacht.

هلال را ز کنار افق کنید نگاه

مگر تو عفو کنی ور نه چیست عذر گناه

سپیده دم که صبا چاک زد شعار سیاه

[6] به عشق روی تو روزی که از جهان بروم
ز تربتم بدمد سرخ گل به جای گیاه

که حافظ تو خود این لحظه گفت بسم الله

[1] Happy is the breeze ,ambergris be - perfumed ,a perfumed pastile ,desired of heart ,

[2] O bird of auspicious face the murshid ,perfect ,excellent the road - guide be
For ,from desire of the dust of that court of God water hath become my eye .

[3] In recollection of my slender person ,that is immersed in the blood of grief of the heart ,
The new slender crescent moon ,from the quarter of the ruddy crepuscule ,they regard .

[4] That one am I who ,without thee ,breathe .What shame
Perchance ,thou mayst pardon .If not ,the excuse for sin is what

[5] In love's path ,from thy friends ,learned
The dawn ,that desire rent the black under - garment .

[6] In love for thy roseate face ,one day when ,from this world ,I depart ,
From my tomb ,the red rose in place of green herbage ,shall blossom .

[7] For me Hafiz give not grief access to thy tender heart
For ,this moment ,thy Hafiz himself uttered bismi - llah and in death departed

[1] Wie glücklich ist des Ostes Ambraroß! Früh steht er auf voll von Begier nach dir.

[2] O schön beschwingter Vogel zeig' den Weg. Mein Aug' zerfloß aus Sehnsucht nach dem Staub.

[3] Ich schwimm' im Blut, und meiner eingedenk Betrachtet man den neuen Mond mit Huld.

[4] Ich lebe ohne dich, o pfui der Schaam! Vielleicht verzeihst du mir, wie thät ich's sonst.

[5] Der Morgen hat von deinem Freund gelernt, Deßhalb zerreißet er der Wolken Kleid.

[6] Aus Liebe deiner Wangen werden einst Auf meinem Grab statt Gräsern Rosen blüh'n.

[7] O schmähle mich nicht aus du zarter Sinn, Im Namen Gottes hat's Hafis gesagt.

[1] Frühlings ist's! höre mich, sey' nun fröhlich; Rosen blüh'n noch einst, wenn du Rasen bist.

[2] Soll ich dir sagen, mit wem zu trinken, Da du selber es weißt und weise bist?

[4] Jegliches Blatt ist ein Buch der Weisheit, Schade, daß du so träg' und sorglos bist!

[5] Hin ist die Summe des Lebens, Wenn du Tage und Nächte durch verlegen bist.

For save weeping and wailing ,our sword is none .

For in our Shari'at ,save this ,a sin is none .

For at the head of a street ,is it not a justice - seeker is none

Save the shelter of His tress ,my shelter is none .

Hypocrisy and dissimulation ,aside we have placed .

So that they may go to the wind of destruction in the path of ease and of the true Beloved ,rose of face ,we have placed .

In those two Hindu hyacinths black tresses also our heart we have placed .

On those two narcissi of sorcery ,an eye of hope we have placed .

Not with the powerful arm ,the throne of sovereignty is it that we have placed .

[6] Let us see what sport the sorcery of the Friend's eye maketh ,for ,again ,
On the glance of sorcery ,our foundation of life ' we have placed .

[7] Without the grace of His narcissus ,our head of distraughtness from wine of love
Like the dark ,mourning violet ,on the knee we have placed .

[8] In hope's corner ,like eager spectators of the new moon ,
On that curve of the eye - brow ,hope's eye we have placed .

[9] Thou spakest saying O Hafiz thy distraught heart is where
In the meshes of that curl of the tress ,it we have placed .

[10] The fame of so many years generations of ancestors ,good of name ,
So that they may go to the wind of destruction in' the path of the cup and of the Saki of love ,we have placed .

The chain and the bond of that tress - curl ,we have placed .

[12] Hafiz for love ,strive .For the cash of wisdom and of sense outward knowledge
For the sake of the true Beloved of chain - tress ,aside we have placed .

[2] Der hohen Schule Säulengang und Saal Und allen Streit von Tugend, Wir haben Alles auf den Liebesstand Der Schönen hingeleget. Wir legten keine allzugroße Last Auf unser Herz, das schwach ist. Wir haben, was wir treiben, was wir thun, Nie auf ein Haar geleget.

[3] Wir haben diesen zwey Narzissen längst Empfohlen unsre Seele, Wir haben auf die süßen Zaubereien Der Liebe Grund geleget.

[5] Wir haben nicht mit unserm eignen Heer Des Feindes Reich erobert, Und unsrer Herrschaft Krone haben wir Nicht selber abgeleget.

[7] Wir haben unser ungeliebtes Haupt Erfüllet von Begierde, Und liebberauschet wie Narzissen hin Auf's Knie zur Ruh geleget. Hafis! bemühe Dich um Freund' und Sang, Denn des Verstandes Summe Ist alle auf das schöne lange Haar Des Freundes angeleget.

German Translation

[1] ای که در کوی خرابات مقامی داری
جم وقت خودی ار دست به جامی داری

[2] ای که با زلف و رخ یار گذاری شب و روز
فرصتت باد که خوش صبحی و شامی داری

[3] ای صبا سوختگان بر سر ره منتظرند
گر از آن یار سفرکرده پیامی داری

[4] خال سرسبز تو خوش دانه عیشیست ولی
بر کنار چمنش وه که چه دامی داری

[5] بوی جان از لب خندان قدح می‌شنوم
بشنو ای خواجه اگر زان که مشامی داری

[6] چون به هنگام وفا هیچ ثباتیت نبود
می‌کنم شکر که بر جور دوامی داری

[7] نام نیک ار طلبد از تو غریبی چه شود
تویی امروز در این شهر که نامی داری

[8] بس دعای سحرت مونس جان خواهد بود
تو که چون حافظ شبخیز غلامی داری

[1] O thou that ,in the tavern - street ,thy dwelling hast
The Jamshid of thy own time ,thou art ,if ,on the cup ,thy hand thou hast .

[2] O thou that ,night and day ,with the tress and the face of the Beloved ,passest
Be opportunity thine ,so that a happy morning and evening thou mayst have .

[3] O morning breeze at the head of thy path ,those consumed with love ,are expectant ,
Whether ,from that true Beloved many a journey made ,a message thou hast .

[4] Thy dark mole ,fresh of head ,is a pleasant grain of pleasure .But ,
On the border of its sward face alas what a snare the tress thou hast .

[5] From the laughing lip of the goblet ,the soul's perfume ,I perceive
O Khwaja smell if ,for that ,a perfume - place thou hast .

[6] O true Beloved though ,at the time of fidelity ,stability constancy is not thine
Thanks ,I offer that ,against violence ,stability thou hast .

[7] If ,from thee ,a name a stranger seek ,what a wonder it will be ,
To - day ,in this city ,thou art one ,who a great name hast .

[8] The guardian of thy soul will be many a prayer of dawn
For ,like Hafiz ,night - rising ,a slave thou hast .

[1] Der du in allen wüsten Häusern Dein Plätzchen hast, Du herrschest, wenn du in den Händen Ein Gläschen hast.

[2] Du der mit Locken und mit Wangen Die Zeit zubringst, O welchen Abend, welchen Morgen Du Froher hast! Du, der zu dem Genuß im Stillen Zurück dich ziehst, Halt' theuer jegliche Minute, Die du noch hast!

[3] Ostwind, es harren auf dem Wege Verbrannte dein, Weil du von dem gereisten Freunde Die Kunde hast.

[4] Dein grünes Maal ist ohne Zweifel Ein Liebeskorn, Doch weh der Netze, die am Rande Gestellt du hast.

[5] Ich rieche an dem Rand des Busens Der Seele Duft, O rieche diesen Duft, wenn anders Geruch du hast.

[6] Wiewohl du zu der Zeit der Treue Verstand nicht hast, Dank' ich doch Gott, daß du im Zürnen Verstand noch hast.

[7] Was ist's, wenn dich um deinen Namen Ein Fremder frägt, Du bist es, der allein den Nahmen Im Volke hast.

[8] Es soll die Seele dir bewahren Manch Zauberwort, Dir, der zu deinem wahren Diener Hafisen hast.

German Translation

[1] به عزم توبه سحر گفتم استخاره کنم
بهار توبه شکن می‌رسد چه چاره کنم

[2] سخن درست بگویم نمی‌توانم دید
که می خورند حریفان و من نظاره کنم

[3] چو غنچه با لب خندان به یاد مجلس شاه
پیاله گیرم و از شوق جامه پاره کنم

[4] به دور لاله دماغ مرا علاج کنید
گر از میانه بزم طرب کناره کنم

[5] ز روی دوست مرا چون گل مراد شکفت
حواله سر دشمن به سنگ خاره کنم

[6] گدای میکده‌ام لیک وقت مستی بین
که ناز بر فلک و حکم بر ستاره کنم

[7] مرا که نیست ره و رسم لقمه پرهیزی
چرا ملامت رند شرابخواره کنم

[8] به تخت گل بنشانم بتی چو سلطانی
ز سنبل و سمنش ساز طوق و یاره کنم

[9] ز باده خوردن پنهان ملول شد حافظ
به بانگ بربط و نی رازش آشکاره کنم

[1] In the morning ,with the desire of repentance to my heart I said I seek the counsel of God ,
Spring ,repentance - shatterer ,arriveth what remedy may I make

[2] True speech ,I utter : I cannot see that this state is very difficult
For the companions drink wine and lookiug on^ I make .

[3] To the memory of the King's assembly ,like the rose - bud with laughing lip ,
The cup ,I take and ,through desire ,my raiment ,rent I make .

[4] By the cup's circulation ,remedy ye my brain
If ,from the midst of the banquet of joy ,retirement I make .

[5] Through the Friend's face ,blossomed my purpose like the rose
To the hard stone ,consignment of the enemy's head that separation recur not I make .

[6] The tavern - beggar am I but at the time of intoxication ,behold
Against the lofty sky ,loftiness ; and against the ordering star ,order ,I make

[7] Not mine ,is the way and usage of morsel - abstaining .For ,
The reprobation of the profligate ,the wine - drinker ,why do I make

[8] On the throne of the rose ,I place a beauteous idol like a Sultan
With the hyacinth ,and the lily ,the glory of collar and of bracelet I make .

[9] Through wine - drinking ,distressed became Hafiz ;
With the sound of the harp and with wine ,his mystery of distress evident I make .

[10] Not the ka'zi ,nor the mudarris ,nor the muhtasib ,nor the fakih are we
Mine ,what profit that forbidding of the wine - drinker I should make .

[1] Ich will, so sprach ich reuig, Nun Buße thun, Der Frühling bricht die Reue, Was ist zu thun?

[2] Ich spreche nur die Wahrheit, Ich kann's nicht seh'n, Die Freunde sollen trinken, Ich soll's nicht thun.

[3] Ich will auf die Gesundheit Des Schahs das Glas Ergreifen, und es lachend In Stücke thun. Wenn von des Freunds Rubinen, Ein Kuß mir wird, Will ich den Lauf des Lebens Von Neuem thun.

[4] Heilt mein Gehirn mit Bechern, Wenn ich vielleicht In dieser Zeit der Freuden Will Buße thun.

[5] Weil vom Gesicht die Rose Des Wunsches blüht, Will ich den Kopf des Feindes Auf Steine thun.

[6] Ich bin der Schenke Bettler Allein im Rausch Soll mein Gebeth, der Himmel, Die Sterne thun.

[7] Ich der auf einen Bißen, Mich nicht versteh', Soll ich wohl einen Vorwurf Den Trunknen thun.

[8] Mein Liebchen soll erhöhen Der Rosenthron, Ich will dann mit Jasminen Den Hals umthun.
