Last night, a messenger of good news came from the presence of Asaf

From the court of Solomon, a sign of joy arrived

Turn the dust of our existence into a flower with the water of tears

The ruined abode of the heart has come to the time of rebuilding

This infinite tale that they told of the beloved's tresses

Is but a word among thousands that came into expression

Cover my faults, O wine-stained cloak

For that pure and chaste one has come for a visit

Today, the place of everyone will be found among the beautiful

For that moon who lights up the gathering has come to the seat of honor

On the throne of Jamshid, whose crown is the ascent to heaven

Behold the ambition, for an ant came with such humility

From his enchanting eyes, O heart, guard your faith

For that bow-wielding sorcerer has come with the intent to plunder

You are tainted, Hafez, seek grace from the king

For that element of generosity has come for purification

His gathering is a sea, seize the moment and find the pearl

O you who have suffered loss, the time for trade has come
