Fair maiden, make bright our cups with wine,
call for the singers,
the world is on our side!O you who are ignorant of the bliss of wine:
know I drink wine
because in the cup I see the Friend's reflection.In the Book of Life, my name is eternal.
No one dies who's heart is on fire with Love.warm wind, if you ever fly past the Friend say:
"Why should I try to forget my name?
There will come a time when you, too, will forget it!"It is good to find peace in the eyes of the Friend,
for that reason I drink wine.The "clean foods" of the Priest,
and my "Unclean drinks"
will make no difference in the final judgement;
I think they'll earn the same.But Hafiz; wipe your tears,
for you will catch happiness right now!
