My heart will only accept the beauty of Love,
I have no understanding of anything but Love.O Counselor: tell me of Love and its Bliss,
There is nothing I would rather hear about.O blushing Saki: bring the blushing wine!
Happiness can't be found anywhere else.I disguise my cup, people might think its a book.
This isn't surprising, since hypocrisy's ink has no colour.I'm going to burn my ragged cloak,
since the Teacher doesn't accept it in place of a cup.The Beloved's ruby lips reveal nothing but truth,
So it doesn't appeal to the "men of truth".Don't ask me to forget your eyes and face,
If I'm obedient in this I could not be wise.Your cunning, intelligent, enchanting eyes
have hunted my heart with the savageness of wild birds.O Rich Man: remember the Sufi today,
He goes nowhere and knows no path.Hafiz, your sweet poems are recited well,
The King will shower you with riches and gold.
