Last night the Teacher revealed great secrets.
I will disclose them now:"Take things easy, and ease is your reward.
The world is hard for those who take it hard."The Teacher passed the cup and blinked at me,
The cup made death dance, the Teacher said "Drink.""The cup is filled with blood but a smile on its face,
Don't make loud noises over small misfortunes.""No secrets can be told to those who are insincere,
Demons can't hear the secrets of Angels.""My son, never feel sorrow for the cruel world,
Hear this if you have wisdom."Hafiz's faults are known to the Teacher,
Serve wine, his grace will come in its time.
