I say openly and am happy with my words

I am a servant of love and free from both worlds

I am the bird of the holy garden, how can I describe separation

How did I fall into this trap of events

I was an angel, and paradise was my place

Adam brought me into this ruined monastery

The shade of Tuba and the kindness of Houris and the pond's edge

In the desire for your alley, I forgot all

Nothing is inscribed on my heart's tablet but the beloved's stature

What can I do, my master did not teach me another letter

No astrologer recognized my fortune's star

O Lord, with what destiny was I born from the world's mother

Since I became an earring-wearer in the tavern of love

Every moment a new sorrow comes to congratulate me

My eye's pupil drinks my heart's blood, it is deserved

For why did I give my heart to the core of the people

Wipe Hafez's face with the tip of the tress from tears

Or else this continuous flood will take my foundation
