Lift the dark veil from the rose petal’s face
Meaning, cover your face and ruin the world
Sprinkle dew on your face and the garden’s surroundings
Like the wine-filled glasses of our eyes
The days of the rose, like life, hasten to pass
O wine-server, hurry with the crimson wine
Open the sleepy, intoxicated narcissus in your manner
And put the beautiful narcissus’ eye to sleep out of envy
Hear the scent of the violet and seize the beloved’s locks
Look at the color of the tulip and resolve to drink wine
Since it is your custom and habit to slay lovers
Raise a cup to your enemies and rebuke us
Like a bubble, open your eye to the face of the cup
And compare this house to the foundation of a bubble
Hafiz seeks union through prayer
O Lord, answer the prayers of the weary hearts
