those who turn lead into gold
Will they ever our sights behold?
I hide my ills from false physicians
May my cure come from the invisible fold.
When beloved reveals a glimpse
many tales by many are told.
Salvation is not in piety,
The deed for its own sake should unfold.
Be fair with my increasing love
Let not others mock me and scold.
Behind the veil, many schemes remain,
After unveiling, how will they be sold?
Heartwarming tales of lovers in this world
warm even the hearts that may be ice cold.
Drinking the forbidden wine with sincerity
Surpass the moral rules we pretend to uphold.
The shirt that carried Joseph’s scent,
His brothers would gladly have sold.
Come, show yourself in the tavern
to the servants whom your passage extolled.
Keep jealous eyes away, because the good
For God’s sake, choose the good and bold.
Hafiz, sustained union cannot be cajoled;
Kings in the marketplace rarely strolled.

The Children of Adam are limbs of each other
Having been created of one essence.
When the calamity of time afflicts one limb
The other limbs cannot remain at rest.
If thou hast no sympathy for the troubles of others
باور نکنی خیال خود را بفرسـت
تا در نگرد که بیتو چون خواهم خفت
All human beings are in truth akin; | | All in creation share one origin. |
When fate allots a member pangs and pains, | | No ease for other members then remains. |
If, unperturbed, another's grief canst scan, | | Thou are not worthy of the name of man. |
| | Sa'adi |
I said, your lips said, your lips we revive;
I said, your mouth said, sweetness we derive;
I said your words, he said, Hafiz said;
May all sweet lips be joyous and alive
گفتـم که لبت, گفت لبم آب حیات
گفتم دهنت, گفت زهی حب نبات
گفتـم سخن تو, گفت حافظ گفتا
شادی همه لطیفه گویان صـلوات
بر گیر شراب طربانگیز و بیا
پنهان ز رقیب سفله بستیز و بیا
