t's springtime, so strive to be happy
For many more flowers will bloom, and you will be among the flowers

I won't tell you now with whom you should sit or what you should drink
For you know yourself if you are wise and intelligent

The lute in its case is giving you this advice, but
Preaching only benefits when you are receptive

In the meadow, every leaf is a page of a different story
It's a pity to be oblivious to all that is happening

The worries of the world will steal the price of your life for nothing
If you are entangled in this difficult tale day and night

Although the path to the beloved is full of fear
It would be easy to go if you knew the destination

Hafez, if you have help from your good fortune
Be the hunter of that pleasing and beautiful beloved
