خلوت گزیده را به تماشا چه حاجت است
چون کوی دوست هست به صحرا چه حاجت است *** جانا به حاجتی که تو را هست با خدا
کآخر دمی بپرس که ما را چه حاجت است *** ای پادشاه حسن خدا را بسوختیم
آخر سؤال کن که گدا را چه حاجت است *** ارباب حاجتیم و زبان سؤال نیست
در حضرت کریم تمنا چه حاجت است *** محتاج قصه نیست گرت قصد خون ماست
چون رخت از آن توست به یغما چه حاجت است *** جام جهان نماست ضمیر منیر دوست
اظهار احتیاج خود آن جا چه حاجت است *** آن شد که بار منت ملاح بردمی
گوهر چو دست داد به دریا چه حاجت است *** ای مدعی برو که مرا با تو کار نیست
احباب حاضرند به اعدا چه حاجت است *** ای عاشق گدا چو لب روح بخش یار
می‌داندت وظیفه تقاضا چه حاجت است *** حافظ تو ختم کن که هنر خود عیان شود
با مدعی نزاع و محاکا چه حاجت است ***

When the street of the Beloved is at hand of the desert is what need *** O Soul By the need of God that is thine ,

In the presence of the Merciful'One God petitioning is what need *** If intention be Thine against our life , there is no need of pretence
When the chattels are Thine , of plunder , is what need *** The cup , world - displaying is the luminous mind of the Friend God
Then , of the revealing of my own necessity is what need *** Past is that time when I used to bear the burden of favour of the Sailor the Murshid
When the jewel of divine knowledge appeared , of the Ocean of Love is what need *** O beggar - lover when the soul - giving lip of the Beloved
Knoweth thee , petitioning for an allowance is what need *** O Sovereign of beauty by the need of Thee that is mine For God's sake , I consumed .
At last ask , saying : The beggar's , is what need *** O pretender go I have naught with thee
Dear friends are present . Of enemies is what need *** Hafiz End thy verse for skill itself becometh clear
Disputation and contention with the pretender is what need ***

رواق منظر چشم من آشیانه توست
کرم نما و فرود آ که خانه خانه توست *** به لطف خال و خط از عارفان ربودی دل
لطیفه‌های عجب زیر دام و دانه توست *** دلت به وصل گل ای بلبل صبا خوش باد
که در چمن همه گلبانگ عاشقانه توست *** علاج ضعف دل ما به لب حوالت کن
که این مفرح یاقوت در خزانه توست *** به تن مقصرم از دولت ملازمتت
ولی خلاصه جان خاک آستانه توست *** من آن نیم که دهم نقد دل به هر شوخی
در خزانه به مهر تو و نشانه توست *** تو خود چه لعبتی ای شهسوار شیرین کار
که توسنی چو فلک رام تازیانه توست *** چه جای من که بلغزد سپهر شعبده باز
از این حیل که در انبانه بهانه توست *** سرود مجلست اکنون فلک به رقص آرد
که شعر حافظ شیرین سخن ترانه توست ***

Thine
Show courtesy , and alight , for this house is the House of Thine . *** By the grace of mole and of down Thy creations Thou scratchedest the heart of Arifs lovers of God
Wondrous , are the subtleties beneath the snare of the grain the down of the mole of Thine . *** O bulbul the perfect murshid glad of heart be , in union with the rose the true Beloved
For , in the sward the world the amorous warbling the melody of utterance of divine truths all is thine . *** To Thy ruby lip the stream of divine grace entrust the remedy for our feeble resourceless heart
For exhilarating is the ruby - medicine the talk of the perfect murshid in the treasury of liberality of Thine . *** In body , unworthy of Thy service am I
But my soul , its essence is the dust of the threshold of Thine . *** Not that one am I to give my heart's coin to every impudent one
Closed is the treasure door with the seal of Thine , and the mark of Thine . *** O horseman , excellent of work murshid what a magician indeed thou art ,
That an impetuous steed Shaitan or imperious lust like the ever - revolving sky , is obedient to the whip of command of thine . *** My place , what When even the sky , the juggler , staggereth
At the sorceries that are in the store - house of pastime of Thine . *** Now , the melody of Thy assembly bringeth the sky to dancing ;
For , the verse of Hafiz , sweet of speech , is the melody of Thine . ***

خدا چو صورت ابروی دلگشای تو بست
گشاد کار من اندر کرشمه‌های تو بست *** مرا و سرو چمن را به خاک راه نشاند
زمانه تا قصب نرگس قبای تو بست *** ز کار ما و دل غنچه صد گره بگشود
نسیم گل چو دل اندر پی هوای تو بست *** مرا به بند تو دوران چرخ راضی کرد
ولی چه سود که سررشته در رضای تو بست *** چو نافه بر دل مسکین من گره مفکن
که عهد با سر زلف گره گشای تو بست *** تو خود وصال دگر بودی ای نسیم وصال
خطا نگر که دل امید در وفای تو بست *** ز دست جور تو گفتم ز شهر خواهم رفت
به خنده گفت که حافظ برو که پای تو بست ***

زلفت هزار دل به یکی تار مو ببست
راه هزار چاره گر از چار سو ببست *** تا عاشقان به بوی نسیمش دهند جان
بگشود نافه‌ای و در آرزو ببست *** شیدا از آن شدم که نگارم چو ماه نو
ابرو نمود و جلوه گری کرد و رو ببست *** ساقی به چند رنگ می اندر پیاله ریخت
این نقش‌ها نگر که چه خوش در کدو ببست *** یا رب چه غمزه کرد صراحی که خون خم
با نعره‌های قلقلش اندر گلو ببست *** مطرب چه پرده ساخت که در پرده سماع
بر اهل وجد و حال در های و هو ببست *** حافظ هر آن که عشق نورزید و وصل خواست
احرام طوف کعبه دل بی وضو ببست ***

ما را ز خیال تو چه پروای شراب است
خم گو سر خود گیر که خمخانه خراب است *** گر خمر بهشت است بریزید که بی دوست

زین سیل دمادم که در این منزل خواب است *** معشوق عیان می‌گذرد بر تو ولیکن
اغیار همی‌بیند از آن بسته نقاب است *** گل بر رخ رنگین تو تا لطف عرق دید
در آتش شوق از غم دل غرق گلاب است *** سبز است در و دشت بیا تا نگذاریم
دست از سر آبی که جهان جمله سراب است *** در کنج دماغم مطلب جای نصیحت
کاین گوشه پر از زمزمه چنگ و رباب است *** حافظ چه شد ار عاشق و رند است و نظرباز
بس طور عجب لازم ایام شباب است ***

The picturing of the fancy of a letter from Him is only the picture on water quick of decline ; calamitous to the seeker *** O eye be vigilant . For , one cannot be safe on the couch of ignorance
From this lasting torrent of vicissitudes that occurreth in the stage of sleep this world *** The Beloved One God openly passeth , by thee but
Keepeth seeing strangers . On that account , the Beloved is veil - bound . *** Since the ruddy rose beheld the grace of sweet latest beauty on thy coloured cheek ,
In envy's fire , through the heart's grief , it is immersed in rose - water . *** In the corner of my brain , seek no place of counsel
For this brain - cell is full of the hum of the harp and of the ribab . *** Thy Path what a Path it is , that from great awe ,
The surrounding river the ocean of the sky is only a mirage . *** Green are the valley and the plain . O Friend come let us not let go
The hand from the pleasure of the water - pool ; for the world is all mirage and naught else *** 0 true Beloved In the banquet of the heart , a hundred candles manifestations of God kindled from Thy illumed face
And this is strange , that notwithstanding this on Thy face , are hundred kinds of veils prohibitors of sight *** O candle the true Beloved heart - illuminating
Without Thy face heart - adorning , my heart is dancing on the fire like roast meat . *** If Hafiz be lover , or profligate , or glance - player , what then
In the time of youth , many a strange way is necessary . ***

For this brain - cell is full of the hum of the harp and of the ribab . *** Thy Path what a Path it is , that from great awe ,
The surrounding river the ocean of the sky is only a mirage . *** Green are the valley and the plain . O Friend come let us not let go
The hand from the pleasure of the water - pool ; for the world is all mirage and naught else *** 0 true Beloved In the banquet of the heart , a hundred candles manifestations of God kindled from Thy illumed face
And this is strange , that notwithstanding this on Thy face , are hundred kinds of veils prohibitors of sight *** O candle the true Beloved heart - illuminating
Without Thy face heart - adorning , my heart is dancing on the fire like roast meat . *** If Hafiz be lover , or profligate , or glance - player , what then
In the time of youth , many a strange way is necessary . ***

در دیر مغان آمد یارم قدحی در دست
مست از می و میخواران از نرگس مستش مست *** در نعل سمند او شکل مه نو پیدا
وز قد بلند او بالای صنوبر پست *** آخر به چه گویم هست از خود خبرم چون نیست
وز بهر چه گویم نیست با وی نظرم چون هست *** شمع دل دمسازم بنشست چو او برخاست
و افغان ز نظربازان برخاست چو او بنشست *** گر غالیه خوش بو شد در گیسوی او پیچید
ور وسمه کمانکش گشت در ابروی او پیوست *** بازآی که بازآید عمر شده حافظ
هر چند که ناید باز تیری که بشد از شست ***

came
my
Friend
a
goblet
in
His
hand
With wine intoxicated , He with his eye intoxicated the wine - drinkers . *** In His steed's hoof , appeared the form of the new moon
From His lofty stature , low , the stature of the lofty cypress . *** Well , wherefore , shall I say Existence is mine when no knowledge of myself is mine
Wherefore shall I say Non - existence is mine when my expectation is to be with Him God *** When He arose to depart the light of the candle of the heart of friends went out in non - existence
When He sate down entered the hidden the spectators' clamour through loss of Him , and farness from Him arose . *** If noisome civet became fragrant , it was associated with His tress
If indigo became a bowman , it was associated with His curved eye - brow . *** Like the candle , night to morning , itself my existence .
Consumed like the moth and only sate down rested as long as it was day . *** O true Beloved Come back that Hafiz's spent life may come back
Although the arrow that hath sped from the aim of the bowman cometh not back . ***

شکفته شد گل حمرا و گشت بلبل مست
صلای سرخوشی ای صوفیان باده پرست *** اساس توبه که در محکمی چو سنگ نمود
ببین که جام زجاجی چه طرفه‌اش بشکست *** بیار باده که در بارگاه استغنا
چه پاسبان و چه سلطان چه هوشیار و چه مست *** از این رباط دودر چون ضرورت است رحیل
رواق و طاق معیشت چه سربلند و چه پست *** مقام عیش میسر نمی‌شود بی‌رنج
بلی به حکم بلا بسته‌اند عهد الست *** به هست و نیست مرنجان ضمیر و خوش می‌باش
که نیستیست سرانجام هر کمال که هست *** شکوه آصفی و اسب باد و منطق طیر
به باد رفت و از او خواجه هیچ طرف نبست *** به بال و پر مرو از ره که تیر پرتابی
هوا گرفت زمانی ولی به خاک نشست *** زبان کلک تو حافظ چه شکر آن گوید
که گفته سخنت می‌برند دست به دست ***

And given is the invitation to merriment O Lovers , wine - worshipping *** The foundation of penitence that , firm as a rock , appeared ,
How the crystal cup of wine hath shattered it , behold *** Bring wine for , in the Court of the Independent One God
Whether the humble shepherd or the lofty Sultan whether sensible or insensible what matter *** Since there is necessity for departing from this Inn of two doors this world , one door of birth , the other door of death
The gallery and the arch the mode of thy living , whether lofty in ease or low in calamity what matter *** Unattainable , is the place of ease without toil
Yes with the decree of calamity they Fate and Destiny established the day of Alast . *** Grieve neither at existence nor at non - existence Be thy mind , happy .
For the end of every perfection that is is non - existence . *** The pomp of being an Asaf , the wind - steed , and the language of birds
All went to the /wind of destruction and from them , the khvvaja obtained no profit . *** With the wing of wealth and the feather of rankj go not in pride from the Path and be not fascinated with thy own frail life For , the arrow far flying
Keepeth loftily the air awhile but , at last , lieth low in the dust . *** Hafiz What thanks , uttereth the tongue of thy eloquent reed for the reason that
They take in joy the utterance of its speech from hand to hand ***

زلف آشفته و خوی کرده و خندان لب و مست
پیرهن چاک و غزل خوان و صراحی در دست *** نرگسش عربده جوی و لبش افسوس کنان
نیم شب دوش به بالین من آمد بنشست *** سر فرا گوش من آورد به آواز حزین
گفت ای عاشق دیرینه من خوابت هست *** عاشقی را که چنین باده شبگیر دهند
کافر عشق بود گر نشود باده پرست *** برو ای زاهد و بر دردکشان خرده مگیر
که ندادند جز این تحفه به ما روز الست *** آن چه او ریخت به پیمانه ما نوشیدیم
اگر از خمر بهشت است وگر باده مست *** خنده جام می و زلف گره گیر نگار
ای بسا توبه که چون توبه حافظ بشکست ***

Garment rent song - singing goblet in His hand *** Eye , contest - seeking lip lamenting
Came , at midnight , last night , to my pillow and there sate . *** To my ear , He brought His head and in a low soft voice ,
Said O my distraught Lover sleep is thine sleep hath overcome thee *** Of whatever , He God poured into our cup , we have drunk good or bad
Whether it be of the wine of Paradise , or of the cup of intoxication . *** That Arif Lover to whom they give wine like this , night - watching
Is infidel to love , if he be not wine - worshipper . *** O Zahid go seize not a small matter against the drinkers of wine - dregs
For , save this gift of dregs naught did they give us on the day of Alast . *** The laughter mantling foam of the cup of wine and the knot - seizing tress of the Beloved
O many a repentance , hath it shattered like the repentance of Hafiz . ***
