Where is righteousness and where am I, the ruined one

See the difference in paths, from where to where

My heart is weary of the monastery and the hypocrite's robe

Where is the Magian tavern and where is the pure wine

What relation have piety and virtue to being a rend (free spirit)

Where is the sermon's sound and where the rebec's melody

What can enemies' hearts understand of the beloved's face

Where is a dead lamp and where the sun's bright candle

When the dust of your threshold is the kohl of our vision

Where shall we go, tell us, from this threshold where

Don't look at the apple of the chin for there's a pit in the way

Where are you going, O heart, with such haste, where

Gone is the time of union, may its memory be blessed

Where did that coquetry go and where that reproach

Expect not peace and sleep from Hafez, O friend

What is peace, which patience, and where is sleep
