Is it possible for the critics to find fault?

So that all the monks may engage in some work

I deemed it expedient that all friends

Should abandon everything and take hold of the beloved's curl

The companions gladly took hold of the cupbearer's curl

If the heavens allow them to find some stability

Do not sell the strength of the arm of abstinence to the beautiful ones

For in this crowd, they may take a rider for a fortress

O Lord, how bold are these young Turks in bloodshed

That with the arrow of their eyelashes, they hunt every moment

Dancing to fresh poetry and the lament of the reed is delightful

Especially a dance in which they take hold of a hand

Hafez, the people of this age have no concern for the poor

If they can, they should take a side in this matter
