If the wine-seller grants the request of the libertines

God will forgive sins and ward off calamities

O cupbearer, pour wine into the cup of justice, so that the beggar

May not feel envy and cause the world to be filled with calamities

Truly, from these sorrows, the news of safety will come

If a seeker remains faithful to the covenant of trust

Whether hardship or comfort comes, O wise one

Do not attribute it to anyone else, for these are done by God

In a workshop where the path of reason and virtue is absent

Why should a weak understanding engage in meddling?

O musician, play a tune, for no one dies before their time

And whoever does not sing this song errs

We, who were killed by the pain of love and the calamity of intoxication

Either the union with the beloved or pure wine will cure us

The soul departed in the intoxication of wine, and Hafez burned with love

Where is Jesus, that he may revive us with a breath?
