The breast burned from heart's fire in grief for the beloved

It was such a fire in this house that the dwelling burned

My body melted from separation from the beloved

My soul burned from the fire of love for the beloved's face

See the heart's burning, that from my tears' fire, the candle's heart

Last night burned for me from love like a moth

It's no stranger but a friend who burns for me

When I went beyond myself, even the stranger's heart burned

The tavern's water carried away my ascetic cloak

The tavern's fire burned my house of reason

Like a wine cup my heart broke from the repentance I made

Like a tulip my liver burned without wine and tavern

Make less fuss and return, for my eye's people

Removed the cloak from head and burned it in gratitude

Leave the tales, Hafez, and drink wine for a moment

For we didn't sleep all night and the candle burned with stories
