A star shone and became the moon of the gathering

Our wandering heart found a companion and confidant

My beloved, who never went to school nor wrote a line

With a glance, taught a hundred teachers a lesson

At her fragrance, the sick hearts of lovers, like the morning breeze

Became devoted to her jasmine-like cheek and narcissus-like eyes

Now my friend seats me at the head of the gathering

Look at the city's beggar, who became the prince of the assembly

The thought of the water of immortality and Alexander's cup

Became a sip for the Sultan, the father of knights

The abode of love now becomes adorned

For the arch of my beloved's eyebrow became its architect

Purify your lips from the dripping wine, for God's sake

For my mind has been tempted by a thousand sins

Your coquetry poured wine for the lovers

So that knowledge became ignorant and reason senseless

As gold is precious, so is my poetry

Accepted by the nobles, it became the alchemy of this copper

Turn your reins from the path of the tavern, friends

For Hafez went this way and became destitute
