A Refuge, a dear Friend, and pure Wine,
If you have this always, then all is well.The joys of the world are blurry if you look too hard,
I've undertaken many studies on this subject.How fortunate! Until now I didn't understand,
Nothing is as dear as a Friend - a Friend!Find some little place and enjoy yourself,
This world is besieged, and your life will be torn down.Come, repent! Forget the Beloved's lips and wine!
True Wisdom will condemn such repentance.The Beloved's chin is as sweet as an apple,
Even the most meticulous thoughts of men cannot reach it.The Beloved said: "Hafiz, I like your flowing rhyme."
But I am sure the Beloved is joking with me this time.
