If the gardener needs the company of the flower for five days

The nightingale must endure the cruelty of the thorn of separation

O heart, do not grieve from the entanglement of her tresses

When a clever bird falls into the trap, it must endure

What is the use of prudence with the world-burning libertine?

The work of kings is that which requires strategy and deliberation

Relying on piety and knowledge in the path is disbelief

Even if the traveler has a hundred skills, he must rely on God

With such tresses and radiant face, let gazing be forbidden

Whoever has a jasmine-like face and curly locks must have it

The coquetry must be endured from her intoxicating narcissus eyes

This restless heart must endure until that curly lock and forelock

O cupbearer, how long will you delay in turning the cup?

When the turn falls to lovers, it must be continuous

Who is Hafez that he should not drink wine without the sound of the lute?

Why should the poor lover need so much pomp?
