I have so many complaints about her black tresses, do not ask

For I have become so disheveled and ruined by her, do not ask

No one should abandon heart and faith in hope of loyalty

For I am so regretful of this act, do not ask

For a sip that harms no one

I endure trouble from ignorant people, do not ask

O ascetic, pass by us safely, for this ruby wine

Takes heart and faith from one's hand, do not ask

There are talks on this path that melt the soul

Everyone has a clamor, do not see it, do not ask

Piety and safety were my desires, but

That enchanting narcissus has a way, do not ask

I said I would ask the celestial sphere about my state

It said I am in the curve of the polo stick, do not ask

I said to her, 'You broke the tresses stained with blood,' she said

Hafez, this story is long, by the Quran, do not ask
