What's sweeter than pleasure and companionship and garden and spring

Where is the cupbearer, say what's the cause of waiting

Every pleasant moment that comes to hand, count as precious

No one knows what the end of affairs will be

Life's connection hangs by a hair, be aware

Be your own sympathizer, what's the grief of time

The meaning of life's water and paradise garden

What is it but the streambank and pleasant wine

The veiled and the drunk both being from one tribe

To whose coquetry should we give heart, what is choice

What knows the silent heaven of the secret within the veil

O pretender, what's your quarrel with the veil-keeper

If the servant's oversight and error has no weight

What's the meaning of the forgiver's pardon and mercy

The ascetic wanted Kawthar wine and Hafez the cup

Until we see what's the creator's desire in between
