IV121

Spring has come, try to be happy!
The flowers will keep blooming long after we've died.

I won't tell you who to sit with or who to drink with,
If you contemplate wisely, you'll know the answers.

The lyre tells the answers in symbols,
Advice is only any good if you become wise.

Every patch of grass is a living book,
Its a shame if you're ignorant of all this.

If you spend your time worrying and regretting,
then you've wasted your precious lifetime.

The road to the Friend may be full of fear,
But it will seem easy, if you can see the path.

Hafiz, if luck is with you,
then one day you might get trapped in the Beloved's net.
