If you are a true and loyal friend, be steadfast in your promise

Be a companion in the home, the bathhouse, and the garden

Do not let the wind take hold of the tangled locks

Do not say, 'Let the hearts of lovers be troubled'

If you desire to be in the company of Khidr

Be hidden from the eyes of Alexander, like the Water of Life

The psalm of love's caress is not the task of every bird

Come and be the fresh rose of this nightingale who sings ghazals

The path of service and the manner of worship

Leave to God, and be with us and the Sultan

Do not draw your sword again in the hunt of the sanctuary

And be remorseful for what you have done to our heart

You are the candle of the gathering, be of one tongue and one heart

See the effort of the moth and be cheerful

The perfection of beauty and charm lies in the play of glances

Be among the rare ones of the age in the art of gazing

Be silent, Hafez, and do not lament the cruelty of the beloved

Who told you to be bewildered by the beautiful face?
