فارسی Transliterate
English
O Minstrel play a note , at the melody whereof , a great sigh of rapture from the body one can cast
Utter a verse , whereby the heavy cup of wine on the earth one can cast . *** If at the true Beloved's threshold , one can lay one's head ,
To the sky , the shout of loftiness , one can cast . *** In exchange for one glance of the true Beloved's men of vision stake two worlds .
Tis love and , on life's cast , the first stake , one can cast . *** Not contained in the cloisters are the mysteries of love - play and of intoxication
For only with magians , the cup of magian wine one can cast , *** On the resolution of a great sovereign , a great omen , make . What knowest thou
Possibly , from the midst of this , the ball of opportunity one can cast . *** The victuals of the king's palace are not for the Darvish
Old and ragged - clad are we upon whom fire one can cast . *** The sum total of our desire is love , youth , and profligacy
When luminous the senses become like the luminous candle , the ball of explanation , one can cast . *** O true Beloved the highwayman of safety became Thy tress . This is no wonder .
If Thou be highwayman , a hundred Karvans , one can waylay . *** From shame , I am in the veil . Saki do me a little kindness give me wine
It may be that , on that mouth , some kisses , one can cast . *** If the Beloved's shadow fall on the stream of tears of my eye ,
On the dust of His thoroughfare , running water one can cast . *** With reason , understanding , and knowledge , one can give the gift of speech
When all is acquired , the ball from the midst , one can cast . *** In Thy sight wretched appeareth our bent stature
To the eyes of Thy enemies , the arrow from this our bow , one can cast . *** If fortune should open the door of union with Him ,
In this vain fancy , on the threshold , many a head one can cast . *** Hafiz by the truth of the Kuran I swear saying From fraud and deceit come out
It may be , that if so thou do the ball of fortune with the sincere ones one can cast . ***
