The purity of a Sufi's heart is not always genuine, Ghazal 159 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
The purity of a Sufi's heart is not always genuine,
Many a robe deserves to be set on fire.
Be wary of our Sufi who is intoxicated by morning prayers,
That he might be drunk at nightfall.
It would be good if the touchstone of experience were to come forth,
So that the hypocrisy of whoever has deceit in them is revealed.
If the cupbearer's line draws such a design on water,
Many a face can be painted with blood.
A pampered lover of pleasure will not find the path to a friend,
Love is the way of the carefree and afflicted dervishes.
Why worry about the troubles of this world for a few days? Drink wine,
It is a pity for a wise heart to be confused.
Let the wine seller take Hafez's patched robe and prayer rug,
If his wine is from the hand of the moon-faced cupbearer.
