O uninformed one, strive to become knowledgeable
So that you may not be a passerby, but a guide
In the school of divine truths, before the scholar of love
O son, strive so that one day you may become a father
Wash your hands of the dirt of existence like the men of the path
So that you may find the elixir of love and become gold
Sleep and food have distanced you from your station
Then you will reach yourself when you are without sleep and food
If the light of divine love falls on your heart and soul
By God, you will be more beautiful than the sun of the sky
For a moment, drown in the ocean of God, don’t think
That you will get wet even a hair from the water of seven seas
From head to toe, you will become all the light of God
On the path of the Glorious One, become without feet or head
If the face of God becomes the object of your sight
From then on, there will be no doubt that you are a seer
When the foundation of your existence is turned upside down
Have nothing in your heart that is upside down
If you have the desire for union in your heart, O Hafez
You must become the dust of the threshold of the people of art
